Yeah, of course. So, the interview itself will be a group interview with typically 3 interviewers and three finalists. The interviewers will be 2 faculty/admins and 1 current tier one scholar (at least it was that way for me)āIāll be an interviewer this year. In terms of questions I wonāt even lie I donāt really remember the questions I was asked (I think one was like why your major/career path and another was like where do you see yourself at the end of collegeābut I would assume they change year to year). The tier one invitational will also have like a tour of UH and the honors college itself. Also, I think really researching the school/honors college would be beneficial as you can bring up programs UH/the honors college offers in your interview.
In terms of the timeline youāll find out if you get it in late February/early March. Good luck with everything, Iām excited to you see at the interview!

I was also a finalist for the Tier One scholarship. Havenāt heard back on the outcome. Did you hear back from UH?
How many Tier One scholarships does UH give out? Apparently about forty are awarded out of 100+ finalists. On Reddit people havenāt found out yet. Great school, especially the Honors College.
1450 SAT and/or 33 ACT are minimum scores for consideration.
