University of Buffalo, Honors

I was wondering what the acceptance rate for U at B honors is. Whats the average SAT score and GPA? I have a 3.7 GPA as well as a 1320 score on the SAT. Will this be sufficient? And lets just say that I didn’t get into Honors, will they just accept me as a regular student? Thanks!

Hey! I just got accepted into UB and the Honors College today, so I hope I can help! I don’t know the acceptance rate, but I have a 4.0 and got a 33 on the ACT, which I believe converts to about a 1500 on the SAT. However, even though your scores are a tiny bit lower, I visited UB about a week ago and when I talked to the Honors representatives I believe the scores and grades the recommended are below yours, meaning you have a great shot of getting in. And if not the Honors College, I bet you’ll definitely get into UB as a school! If you don’t get into Honors, you can definitely still get into UB! Hope this helped :slight_smile:

Congratulations!
When did you submit your application?

I submitted my application in late October - I only did it a little early because another school I applied to had an 11/01 deadline.

For 2016 UB accepted 350 into their Honors College:

SAT middle 50%: 1290-1450
ACT middle 50%: 29-33

Are you going to UB?

@4011959 thank you, need to wait for scholarship notifs. how about you

@curious_ Hi, I am not an international student, but I do live overseas. My decision letter came to my house (which is in Korea) in late December. Perhaps yours will come soon as well! My best bet is that you should wait until they email you and if they haven’t emailed you, then you should email them about your decision and ask. As for acceptance into the Honors College, the acceptance letter should say that they welcome you to the honors college. Hope this helps!
