INCOMING HONORS CLASS
Honors College applications have grown exponentially over the past decade, outpacing even the high growth of the University as a whole. The Fall 2024 admissions cycle was the College’s most competitive ever, with more than 5,500 completed applications. Applications came from almost every U.S. state and from as far away as Brazil. The median incoming Honors student has a 4.0 GPA and was in the top 2% of their graduating class. They also have a median SAT of 1450 (among those who reported their scores). Outside the classroom, our incoming Honors students were also engaged in a range of activities, including clubs, sports, research, and community service, with demonstrable leadership and measurable impact.
