<p>I have a question about Marshall honors:</p>
<p>How is the 3.8 GPA requirement calculated?
1. Does it include senior year grades?
2. Is it weighted?
3. Does it count freshman year?</p>
<p>Also, did anyone receive a letter from Marshall about the honors program? I received one, but I'm not sure if I'm in or not.</p>
<p>On that point, how is the honors program?</p>
<p>Thanks! ;D</p>
<p>I would like to know this too.</p>
<p>I would be ecstatic if it included freshman/senior grades. Also if it is your weighted GPA, not unweighted.</p>
<p>(I barely missed the 3.8 GPA cut-off.)</p>
<p>I got into the Honors program. If you got the letter, I think you’re in, so I don’t think they consider your senior year grades. I believe it’s your weighted GPA, the GPA UC calculates for you when you apply, so I don’t think your freshman year grades were considered. </p>
<p>On the TMC website, it says this: All eligible students are automatically notified by letter and monitored quarterly. </p>
<p>So I assume that means if you got the letter about the honors program, you’re in, because that’s all the notification I remember getting.</p>
<p>It’s really not a big deal… I asked Emily Gonzales, the honors program coordinator, about the program, and she affirmed that it’s a recognition of having a high GPA. If you like the Honors seminar, that’s great, but I’ve never signed up for it. Nor do I know anyone who has. </p>
<p>If you want solid answers to your questions, you could email Emily Gonzales at emjgonzales at ucsd.edu</p>
<p>Thanks! I guess it isn’t a big deal then.</p>
<p>I didn’t get a letter inviting me to the honors program. I have a 3.65 unweighted and a 4.12 weighted GPA. So it’s only for unweighted? That really sucks…</p>
<p>My unweighted is 4.0 for sophomore and junior years and I didn’t get an invitation. I guess it only goes to the top % of applicants.</p>
<p>If it’s a top % of the applicants… :S Well, something like that should be printed on the site, shouldn’t it? Did you meet the SAT requirement too? (scoring at least 700 in each section)</p>
<p>Oh… no I got a really low CR score.</p>
