<p>Any thoughts on why he may not have heard yet on engineering or just acceptance?</p>

<p>I think you mean ACT composite not SAT. There doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason to when people hear back from admissions - up and downside of rolling. I’m sure he’ll get into the engineering school, I don’t know about Schreyer, its really competitive.</p>

<p>Nice one, that was a moment of not paying attention. </p>

<p>Yes, ACT!! </p>

<p>Thank you for picking up on that! I was a little surprised over the honors invite myself. They sent him several emails asking for him to apply. At first he was not going to do it because he was spent on all the essays he had written. After a couple of weeks of them sending emails and having time to digress he figured it would not hurt. </p>

<p>Cheers!!</p>
