Hey all! I was accepted around a week ago with an 18k Provost’s, 3.85 GPA, 1450 SAT. I didn’t hear about honors. I’m not Expecting to get it, of course, but do they tell you at the same time as your admissions or after? In previous years it was a few weeks after but plenty of folks seem to know already.
Thanks!
My son was accepted last year with similar stats and he did get into honors. His honors notification came quite a bit after his regular acceptance. He did early action so got his acceptance in mid November and from what I recall he didn’t hear about honors until March or maybe even April. He had 1460 SAT (1470 super score) with 790 and 780 on math, 4 AP classes before senior year with 5s in Physics, Comp Sci and Calc BC, and 4 AP courses senior year (Econ, Stat, Comp Sci Principles, and whichever Physics he didn’t take as a junior), weighted GPA around 4.6 and unweighted around 3.85, summer jobs all years in high school, and average extra curricular activities with one (non-Varsity) sport.
Not sure if it helped, but we visited the campus three times - once for a regular tour, once with a one on one from a student in his area of interest, and once for an honors visit (in the fall, so before he had been accepted). Good luck to you, but in comparison to my son you look very similar so hopefully you’ll get good news soon! Oh, and his provost scholarship was not as high as yours, though we are in state so perhaps that is the difference. I am not sure if all provost scholarships are the same amount or not.
And to answer the specific question if the honors acceptance comes with the regular acceptance, the answer is no. We found out on the Portal and I’m not even sure if we got a letter about it, or if by checking in on Portal was the only way we found out.
My daughter’s came with acceptance in November.
My son was accepted this year and when his portal updated there was an invitation to the honors reception; when the full acceptance letter was available a few days later it had details about his scholarship and there was a separate letter that was the invitation to the honors program. 35 ACT/3.95 gpa.
