Admissions Criteria
Honors Program Admission Criteria for High School Seniors
- Admission to the Honors Program is based on past academic achievement, evidence of potential for continued academic success, and fit with our Honors Program mission and values. This application is your opportunity to document your fit with our Honors community and includes required essay reflections, evidence of your previous academic accomplishments, and references willing to attest to your future academic potential.
The Honors council recommends a minimum 3.5 high school GPA and a 27 ACT score for admission into the Honors Program.
- The Honors Council recognizes that GPA and ACT scores are imperfect indicators of academic potential. Students with a commitment to academic excellence who do not meet these suggested standards are encouraged to apply and to provide additional evidence supporting academic promise and fit with the CMU Honors community.
