First-Year Applicants for Fall 2025

We first consider GPA + test score. If the GPA on your application is a 3.9 or higher (weighted or unweighted) and you report an ACT of 33+ or an SAT of 1450+, you will be invited to the Honors Program. If you applied with a score and do not meet this criteria, your application will not be considered under the GPA + Rank or GPA alone pathways.听If you applied to CU Boulder without听a test听score,听you may qualify under the class rank option below.听
2. GPA + Class Rank
If you didn鈥檛 report a test score on your application, we next consider GPA + class rank. If the GPA on your application is a 3.9 or higher (weighted or unweighted) and your school reports you in the top 5% of your graduating class, you will be invited to the Honors Program. If your school provides a class rank and you are not in the top 5%, your application will not be considered for any other pathways.听If you applied to CU Boulder without听a test听score and your high school does not rank or do not meet the top 5% of your graduating class, your application will then be considered solely on the GPA alone option below.
3. GPA Alone

To remain in good standing with Honors, students must maintain a 3.6 or higher cumulative GPA. If听a student drops below a 3.6 cumulative GPA, they will be placed on Honors probation for the following semester. In order to return to good standing in the Honors Program, the student must raise their cumulative GPA to 3.6 or above.
At the end of the probationary semester,听the student's听record will be reviewed again to determine their standing in the Honors program.
- If the cumulative GPA is 3.60 or above, the student will remain in the program in good standing.
- If the cumulative GPA remains below 3.60 but the student earns at least a 3.60 term GPA, they will be allowed one additional semester of probation.
- If the听cumulative GPA remains below 3.60 and the student does not earn a minimum 3.60 term GPA, they will be removed from the Honors program.
Please reach out to the Honors Program Manager, Danielle Young, with any questions about this policy.听
