University of Houston: Tier One Scholarship

My D couldn’t appear for the Tier One scholarship interview due to conflicts but is still considering UH HBS undergrad (4 year) program. Any in-sights on the level of difficulty in maintaining > 3.75 GPA?

A 3.75 GPA is quite challenging but those that can maintain it are smart and focused. My college roommate got a 3.93 in BioChem and ended up on scholarship at Michigan Med School. Others I knew got 3.8+ but it’s a challenge. I graduated with under a 3.5. Honors College courses had higher average grades than regular classes. Maybe B+ average vs. B- average.

would love to chat with you about your stats, trying to weigh my son’s chances of getting a scholarship BEFORE we spend the money and time to fly out there from NC to visit before his senior year. Thank you!

@b0902206 Hi, I am a senior in high school and I would love more information about the Tier One Scholarship. Would you mind sending me a private message if you see this? Thanks so much!

Did your son go to UH? Would love to hear how the experience has been!

Would love to hear from those of you who had a child who went to/goes to UH! It’s high on our list but we can’t visit until/unless we get a certain amount of merit aid. Reviews online are mixed, would love to hear from anyone with personal experience thank you!!

Does anyone know if Cougar Preview tour is a prerequisite to apply for the Tier one scholarship?.
In few words , is it better to attend cougar preview instead of the general campus tour?
Can you share scores stats to have a rough idea of tier one scholars admitted for Fall 2018 ?
Thanks!!

For future Tier One competitors, here are the interview questions (approximately the same) for the Invitational Interview:

What was a time that you disagreed with people?

What was a time you collaborated with other people?

What was a time you convinced people to do something?

What is an issue facing our generation?

What is your most important line on your resume?

What motivates you?

What legacy do you want to leave at uh?

I’m an international incoming freshman, I’m also interested in the Tier One full ride scholarship. But I’m confused about the interview. How can I get over to t

Hey there, I got a 1500 in the SAT will I be eligible for this scholarship?

Thanks in advance.
