ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

Acceptance into the University Honors Program is by invitation based on a complete application to the University of Maryland. There is no separate addendum or special application for Honors. Students' records are individually evaluated on the basis of academic achievement in high school, rigor of high school program, test scores, the application essay, letters of recommendation, and participation in extracurricular activities. Students invited into Honors for fall 2006 had an average weighted GPA of 4.29; the average SAT score was 1410 (math + critical reading).

The Honors Program has no quota for in state versus out of state students, and welcomes a nationally and internationally diverse student body.

Students are strongly encouraged to apply for admission to the University by December 1 for best consideration for an Honors invitation.

For further information or questions about admission to the University Honors Program, please see our Prospective Student FAQ page or contact Traci Dula, our Admissions Coordinator.
