<p>Your GPA and SAT score both seem a little bit low, but honors looks for complete students who have lots of extracurriculars, volunteering, and write a good essay. You will find out pretty quickly if you are in or not, but I don’t know if you have anything that stands out to the people who select. If you wrote a good essay though, you might get in. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I think they look for a minimum of 29 ACT or 1340 SAT with a 4.0 gpa. I don’t know how strictly they stick to that.</p>

4

<p>Minimum? On the information sheet, all I found were averages of students who got in… and it was about a 29 ACT/1360 SAT, and 4.02? GPA</p>

5

<p>I don’t think it’s too difficult to get in if they send you an application as an invite. That means they’re interested.</p>

<p>My SAT was only 1260 (yea… I know) and my ACT was 30.</p>

<p>UW GPA I only have a 3.85</p>

6

<p>I kind of… asked for the app. Does this reduce my chances? And when do they get back to you? I sent it in 2 days ago.</p>

7

<p>My S heard back within ten days, I think … definitely less than two weeks. He was asked to apply, though … so I don’t know how it is if you ask for an application.</p>

<p>My friend requested an application – wasn’t sent one – and she got accepted. I guess they just send it to the top people first and if they don’t want to participate, there’s more room.</p>

<p>I heard back within two weeks, as well.</p>

<p>Cool! Anyway… do I hear back via mail or on UCF’s PeopleSoft (MyUCF) thingy? Or email?</p>

<p>I heard by mail. Haven’t seen a thing telling me about my connection to Burnett on MyUCF</p>
