December Honors College Acceptances are out and historically Top Scholars invites will be coming this week. Feel free to comment if you or your child has been accepted to Honors in December or still waiting and his/her testing/GPA/AP data you would like to include. When Top Scholar notifications come out - please post here as well! Thanks - Spurs Up!
My daughter was accepted to Honors College on December 23. The notification came via email notifying her of an update to her portal. There was a second decision letter on her portal telling her of her acceptance to the Honors College.
She is OOS (IL)
submitted her ACT score (33)
4.5W/3.7UW
10AP (11 AP tests), 1 DE plus honors courses as well
My D. has similar stats and we are from MD also. We are hoping for the good news but don’t want set the expectation high since I’m sure they evaluate more than grades and test scores.
Congrats and very impressed by the well-roundedness! S21 on this end also accepted into Honors in mid December. OOS (Va.). 4.0 UW/4.7 W. Exactly the same 800 math/710 verbal. Definitely fewer APs though. Varsity/travel baseball athlete and a decent but not super # of ECs; biomedical engineering intended major.
D21 was also accepted in December in Honors, 4.8 Wtd, 34 ACT, 11 APs, 6 college courses, 4-year varsity tennis and captain Sr year, Key Club, SADD, etc. Also Biomedical engineering! If they all end up attending here, they may end up knowing each other! (3rdinf and PepsiCola21)
Congrats to her! I’m definitely excited about the prospect of S21 getting to know other fun, smart, talented, and well-rounded kids from all over, in the HC (confirmed by another thread on CC). That’s why he applied to mostly bigger schools where he could get a selective group of students as peers in certain avenues but also have the larger campus and all of the related perks.
Can I ask where else she has applied? My S21 applied to seven schools: USC (+ HC), Tennessee, Clemson (+ HC), Texas A&M, VCU, UVa, and Vanderbilt. Accepted at the first five, still waiting on decisions at UVa (early action) and Vanderbilt (regular).
USC(+HC), Clemson (+HC), U Dayton(+HC), Miami U of Ohio (+HC), Georgia Tech (+HC), NC State, Ohio State, Purdue, Johns Hopkins, Wash U in St Louis, and Vanderbilt! Accepted to first 4, waiting on the others. (I think that list is right…I have twin D21’s with very similar stats and interests, and some overlap in schools applied to although no interest in attending the same school! I guess as identical twins, they are ready to have some separation and their own identity!)
I have identical twin DSs. One is pursuing BA/MD programs; the other, F35s (He is 3Q plus Noms for USNA and USMA with a LOA from USAFA plus an NROTC scholarship for Cornell.) One has the higher GPA (He’s the VAL while his brother is the SAL); the other has the higher SAT (Both scored 800 on the math) . They too are choosing separate paths after a lifetime together.
In the portal the timeline says the notification for Top Scholars is “late January.” It would be great to know tomorrow but I’m not getting my hopes up.
Anyone hear anything yet today?
My DS was admitted in HC mid-Dec. We are in-state. Similiar stats-35 ACT, 5.01 WGPA, 44 DE credits, 700+ volunteer hours, varsity lax, varsity golf, Pres of Gavel Club, blah blah blah
