<p>Can any current students in the honors program, parents of kids in the honors program, or alumni look at my honors essay? I'll PM it to you. I used the prompt about speaking backwards. </p>
<p>Thanks! :)</p>
<p>OMG those prompts are so amazing… why cant those be the regular admission prompts… i would have a much better shot of getting in :(</p>
<p>Haha I love them. They’re unique and quirky.</p>
<p>u be my competitors O.o haha</p>
<p>Does anyone know what the percentage of students who apply to the honors program’s acceptance rate is? I know it is competitive but is it like 50% or higher?</p>
<p>I believe it’s 1 student per 11. So about a 9% chance?</p>
<p>^That’s the percentage of people in the incoming class that are in it, and obviously not everyone applies. It’s anyone’s guess on what the acceptance rate is.</p>
<p>are you invited to apply or do you decide to apply on your own?</p>
<p>^
If you’re not invited, you can shoot them an e-mail, and they will extend an invitation to you.</p>
<p>When did you get your Honors invitation? I got accepted on December 16th and I havent heard anything from them</p>
<p>A week-ish ago. I don’t mean to be condescending, but you might not fit the criteria. I think they look for a 32 or above on the ACT as well as a 3.9 or higher GPA. I’m not sure though–they specifically state it on the honors website. Then again, they might just be sending the e-mails out at different times?</p>
