I have a 29 on the ACT (I plan to retake it or do the SAT in the fall), color guard captain, Venture Crew, PALs, National Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society. I’m in the top 7 percent in Texas so I get automatic admission to the school itself, just not necessarily honors. I plan to major in biology or environmental science. I can write very well.
I would focus on getting into your major first before worrying about Plan II. The average ACT for admitted students into Biology is a 30. Plan II’s admissions are extremely difficult though. For 2015, 20% of the people offered a place in Plan II were valedictorians of their class. Their middle 50% ACT for offered students was 32-35. Also, if you aren’t aware, Plan II is a a liberal arts honors program. It has nothing to do with the sciences.
