<p>I read that the UConn honors program is primarily students ranked in the top 5% of their class. Could I get in being in the top 15%?</p>
<p>Yes, definitely. I got in and I was probably only in the top 1/3 of my class (my school doesn't rank, so I don't know for sure). My GPA was 3.6 weighted, and my SAT score was M700, CR740, W800 (cumulative 2240).</p>
<p>Regarding the Honors College, are either of you aware of any monetary awards offered to out of state students that transfer into the UCONN'S Honors College from another College's Honors College?</p>
<p>I have no idea. You should call the Honors program to find specific info</p>

Yeah, go ahead and call them like mcel said, but as far as I know, no such award/scholarship exists.</p>
<p>I will most likely be valedictorian of my class this school year, but my SAT's are only 1300 MV and 2000 TOT. Will I still be admitted due to the fact that I will be valedictorian? Are valedictorians or salutatorians ever turned down from the honors program?</p>
<p>SAT's are probably the biggest part of getting into the honor's program freshman year, but being top 1 or 2 in your class could only help. From what I heard, UConn over admitted A LOT of students this year so admittance to the HP may be more challenging as their is more competition and space in the program are extremely limited. You can always transfer into it after a year anyway or even again after two/three, but FYI, you don't need to be in the honors program to take honors courses or graduate cum laude or anything. You basically get early housing and early class picks plus other bonuses I'm sure I'm ignorant off. Also, the freshman honor's dorms (Shippee) is soooo far from everything...I'd rather die than have to walk all the way to the bio/physics building and back in a typical UConn snowstorm.</p>
<p>Also, rather than call, shoot an email over to Dr. Goodstein at <a href="mailto:lynne.goodstein@uconn.edu">lynne.goodstein@uconn.edu</a>, she's basically runs it and is usually very prompt with responses to any questions or comments you may have. And umm, make sure you call her doctor, UConn faculty takes their PhD's very seriously.</p>
<p>Also keep in mind that you don't have to be admitted into the Honors Program as a first-year student in order to participate in it. A LOT of students join the program as late as their junior year. So even if you're not accepted to it right off the bat, you can still get in down the road.</p>
