<p>What is university honors?</p>
<p>I just got accepted to Virginia Tech as a transfer student and today I received a letter in the mail from them. It says that due to my academic record, they encourage me to apply to university honors.</p>
<p>1) do they send this letter to everyone with a 3.5? am i speecial? ;D</p>
<p>2) is the application process very competitive?</p>
<p>3) is it worth it?</p>
<p>Entering freshmen are invited to apply to University Honors if:</p>
<pre><code>* their high school GPA is at least a 3.50 and the SAT I score is a 1400 (minimums: 620 Critical Reading, 600 Math) or above; or if
* their high school GPA is at least a 3.70 with an SAT I score of 1300-1399 (minimums: 620 Critical Reading, 600 Math).
</code></pre>
<p>Students who do not enter University Honors as incoming freshmen will be given the opportunity to join Honors after completion of their first semester. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50 in order to apply.</p>
<p>So everyone with a 3.5 is invited to apply. but don't worry. you're still special. :)</p>
