<p>Hi,</p>

<p>My D is interested in the Tech Honors program as an incoming freshmen. How selective is it? What does the application entail- I believe essays are part of it- are they one or more of the standard essays on the Texas common application?</p>

<p>She has a 1300/2020 on the SAT and a 3.5 un-weighted GPA, however that only puts her at top 37% class rank of her HS. Wondering if she has a chance with some recommendations as well.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I am in the Honors College. I would strongly recommend she apply to it. The essays change from what I believe. I will be transferring in 2 weeks & I’m very much looking forward to it.

<p>@motamir The application does not to my knowledge have the same essays as ApplyTexas. I just submitted mine a few days ago and it had 4-5 small (under 200 words) and one medium sized essay requiring no less than 350 words. It requires 2 recommendations and the application fee is $25.</p>

She got accepted into Honors - thanks for the help!

Now trying to decide between Tech and Baylor. Still waiting for word on TAMU and am hoping for Blinn at least.
