My daughter received her acceptance to the Deans Scholar honor program yesterday evening about 630pm. She was an auto admit in early October and received her admission to her biology major in early December. She had a 4.0 unweighted GPA, 1550 SAT, founder of clubs, choir all 4 years, soccer/captain 4 years, research at an embryology lab, summer job at Houston arboretumā¦

Congratulations to your daughter on this impressive accomplishment! Is there a time frame to accept Honors? Since they have 50 spots, wonder how they attempt to fill it if some students decide to go somewhere else.
Soooo what day are we thinking???

It will almost certainly be Monday or Tuesday in the evening. We donāt really know which one.
So what did UT favor more in application? GPA/ EC/leadership?
Good to know. Just curious why not Wednesday or Thursday
Because they said before 2/1 and they have never done it the night before.

Makes sense 
Does anyone know the most applied to major
In previous years at our high school, the admitted kids consistently had higher GPAās. I know a lot of really strong EC/leadership kids with good GPAs who were not accepted relative to higher GPA peers.
It didnāt say anything about time frame. Iām assuming itās May1st
Thanks! Are you in state or oos?
Weāre in state- Houston
In state. So my comment was regarding those who were not auto admit. Very competitive public school.
Congratulations! Is there a monetary merit award with this Honors program?
I live in TX now and grew up in NJ. Left when I was 25 and have lived in OK, Italy, CO, MD, FL, TX (military). Newark is a place even people from NJ avoid, same with Camden, NJ. Definitely a place you would want to visit before accepting. I would not feel safe sending my kid there though.
