Most applicants are ranked in the top 5 to 10 percent of their high school class, but Honors students are more than high grades and test scores. They have the ability to engage professors and challenges themselves. They have sought out opportunities and expanded their talents beyond traditional expectations. This is important because the University Honors Program requires students to maintain high grades as academic demands and intellectual challenges are increased. For more information, check out the University Honors Program Admissions Page .
Honors students are achievers.
