Admissions
Decisions
The
Wilkes Honors College admits
students whose scholastic performance and
abilities demonstrate an active approach
to learning and the potential for academic
growth. Selection decisions are based upon
the academic record in a college preparatory
curriculum, the SAT or ACT, liveliness
of intellect, school and community involvement,
and the student's capacity for leadership.
The admissions office recalculates the high
school GPA based on grades earned only
in academic courses. Applicants who have
taken Honors, Advanced Placement or International
Baccalaureate classes receive extra weight
in GPA calculations. Most admitted students
have SAT’s above 1200, ACT’s
above 26, and weighted GPA’s above
3.5. (See
the Class Profile of last year’s
class)
