Hey everyone! I've been researching the UNLV Honors College and was wondering if anyone knew the acceptance rate? Is it a lot more competitive than regular UNLV admissions?
The UNLV Honors College is indeed more competitive than regular UNLV admissions, as the Honors College generally attracts high-achieving students who are seeking a more challenging academic experience. Unfortunately, the exact acceptance rate for the UNLV Honors College is not publicly available.
However, we can get a general sense of the competitiveness by looking at the Honors College profile. Honors College students typically have an average unweighted GPA of around 3.7-4.0 and an average weighted GPA of 3.9-4.5. For comparison, the overall average high school GPA for UNLV admitted students is around 3.3.
Although the acceptance rate for the Honors College is not public, keep in mind that applying to the Honors College is a separate application from the general UNLV application. The Honors College application will require you to answer some essay questions and provide information about your extracurricular activities. Make sure to put your best foot forward in these areas to increase your chances of gaining admission to the Honors College. Best of luck!
