UNC Chapel

What are the scores and gpa needed to get into UNC Chapel’s Honors college?? I have a 1450 and a 31 (I’m retaking both), and I want to see if the honors college might be a match instead of a reach. Thank you!

Are you in-state or OOS? There does not seem to be a set formula for choosing and it does not seem to be based solely on grades and scores.

@twogirls I’m OOS. If not based on scores, is there something I need to do for essays? I don’t think there is a separate application whatsoever.

There is no separate application. When admissions reviews your application they will decide. Keep in mind that getting accepted OOS is very difficult; getting into honors is even harder.

Even if you don’t make it into the Honors Carolina upon admission, there are still several opportunities to be selected once you are enrolled at UNC-CH: http://honorscarolina.wpengine.com/academics/join-honors-carolina/.

So really, don’t sweat it at this point.

As a reference, my D is out of state and did not make honors. Her test scores were higher than yours ( not saying yours are not good).

@gandalf78 @twogirls Thanks for the advice and reference!
