Our application consists of three components: your academic record, a resume, and an essay. For international students, we recommend an unweighted cumulative 3.5 GPA or higher (or equivalent score from your secondary school). Your resume and essay serve as opportunities for you to highlight your experience in engaging with the world around you.
Note: Meeting or exceeding our academic performance recommendations does not automatically guarantee admission or a scholarship from the Honors College. Failure to meet them does not automatically disqualify you for admission.
