<p>I've been accepted into U of H, and plan to further apply to the Honors College (Well I just sent my App and information off today but I digress) My ACT composite was a 24 and am 121/500 in my class I have a 3.7 GPA weighted. My school is in the process of determining if thats on a 5.0 or 4.0 scale, but for the worst case scenario lets just assume its on a 5.0 (and pray for the opposite right?) Anyways I am confident in my English skills and sent off my best Dual Credit paper, and I believe its a pretty solid piece. Six pages on why NASA shouldn't receive budget cuts, with credible sources and good argumentation. I went for a campus visit recently and was told by two (Interns?) at the admissions office that they are looking for well rounded people with good extracurricular activities and interest. So here is what I have (Sorry for the long list as well as all of these parenthetical statements)</p>
