<p>So I didn't get invited to the honors college but will shoot them an application anyway. My numbers and all are good enough for them to admit me with 10k/yr. Do they focus more on your raw stats or essay and whole picture when reviewing the app? Is it really possible to get in without being invited? Any input would help me determine if applying is really worth it. Thanks.</p>
<p>They look at stats and your essay. It is definitely possible to get in without an invite; it's not difficult to get into.</p>
