<p>Hey guys, I'm just posting to get your opinions on what my chances are of getting into the UCONN Honors program at their storrs campus. I'm a 17 year old Asian Male, who's a senior at one of the top high schools in Ct. (not that it means much cause Connecticut is a small state).</p>

<p>Stats
- 3.5 GPA (I know it's not that good, I had 2 C's freshman year <em>facepalm</em>)
- 5 AP classes: Chemistry and US HIstory (Junior), Macroeconomics, Physics, and Calc BC (Senior)
-Taken honors versions of a courses whenever available
- 31 ACT
- 700 on Math II and Chemistry (Retaking next month)</p>

<p>EC's:
-100+ Hours Volunteering at Yale New Haven Hospital
-40+ Hours of Shadowing
-Practicing Martial Arts for 13 Years (Started Instructing Youth Students last year)
-5 Years In Pathfinders (Church Group), Captain in 9th grade and Currently a Counselor
-30+ Hours of Volunteering through church (Singing at a local nursing home and Providing food to the homeless)
-4 Years Marching Band (Squad Leader Senior Year)
-4 Years Concert/Symphonic Band
-Wrestling Team for 3 Years (2 JV and 1 Varsity), also placed in Conference Tournament if it makes a difference
-TSA (Technology Students of America) Club for 3 Years
-Stock Market Club for 3 Years

<p>The mark for UCONN Honors on ACT is unfortunately just 1 point above what you have. If you can retake again and superscore to get a better score, I would definitely recommend that. If you retook and got a 34 Id say you would be guaranteed admission.</p>

<p>People from my school who have gotten into UCONN Honors tend to pass the ACT barrier of 32 or have the 1400 combined reading and math score. </p>

<p>Best of luck</p>
