This is a thread for students admitted to the Honors Program to share information (such as standardized test scores and class rank/gpa and significant extracurricular activities that you think helped you get in) to give others an idea of what the criteria or admissibility range is for accepted honors students.
Hi, I was admitted to Honors at about 11 last night
ACT: 35
SAT: 1580 (but I don’t know if they got that in time to count it)
Unweighted/weighted GPA as my school counts it (A+s count more and APs are 6.0, honors 5.0, regular 4.0): 4.11/5.59.
My guess for how normal people do GPA: 3.98/4.9
Leadership in clubs, volunteering, a lot of time in drama club.
Decent essay about wanting to help the environment and the letter of rec should have been pretty good.
Good luck to everyone and happy holidays!
