<p>I think they take something like the top 15% of the incoming class and then screen them for honors, taking the top 10% in the end. My daughter did not get in but when I read the accepted thread, some were in with lower stats than she had. Whether this is because of her major, which is very small, or because of the fact that maybe she didn’t have enough of the right kind of EC (leadership, inventive, whatever they look for) we will never know. In the end, it was fine because she is busy enough with her classes and she’s also on a sports team. She had a 670 verbal, 690 on the math, and she also had 32 on the ACT. So I think all you can do is apply and then wait to see what it says when the acceptances are released.</p>
