i’m interested in the 7 year med program at USF, but you need to be accepted into their honors college.
truly how challenging is it to get into ? (i’m out of state)
If you have a 4.0 and a 1400 SAT you will automatically admitted. This is from the website:
Students with a 4.0 weighted grade point average, and either a 1400 or higher on the SAT or 30 or higher on the ACT, will be automatically admitted into the Honors College once they are admitted to USF. Notification of acceptance is sent via mail at least one week after the USF Admissions letter, or after receipt of scores meeting these criteria.
Students with a 3.8 weighted grade point average, and either a 1360-1390 on the SAT or 29 on the ACT, are invited to apply. Eligible students will receive an email with a link to the application, along with instructions and deadlines. Applications are reviewed by members of the Honors College staff or faculty, as well as by current Honors College students. All opinions are weighted equally.
Good luck!
Actually, while BillyMadison123 correctly cited criteria for Honors College admission, 7-Year BS/MD criteria are higher:
Admission to the Honors College as a first-year student (FTIC)
Based on 4.0 weighted HS grade point average (GPA), as calculated by Undergraduate Admissions
Once admitted to the Honors College, no additional application is required.
SAT (Critical Reading and Math sections) of 1470 (scores from the pre-March 2016 test will be concorded to the new SAT scale for consideration) or combined ACT score of 32
4.0 weighted high school grade point average (GPA), as calculated by USF’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions
Transfer and continuing students are not eligible to apply for the 7-Year BS/MD program
U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency (MCOM does not admit International Applicants)
