I cant find McNair stats specifically, but I found the general Honors College stats at:schc.sc.edu/about/
anticipate that you should be at the top of the stats range (they do 25%-75% ranges)
from the high school guidance counselor info pages (on the admission pages) I found the stats for 2009 Fall Honors College entry of : SAT range 1350-1440 GPA 4.55 ACT 31-32.5
be aware that the McNair consideration is more than stats driven. What they are considering (we were told) is what the student will bring to the University, and that they consider the students they award will be the future leaders of their entering class,in all different areas.They value a well rounded student and are interested in a diversity of extra curricular activities.In fact, when S was interviewed they were iinterested in how he managed to keep a part time paid job related to his intended major while being a state level officer in a national service organization.
