The average at UGA Morehead is slightly north of 1500 every year. And UGA is a test-required school, so those numbers are real.

I think UVM is a tier above, despite what rankings services have to say.

+1000
People think because they know one 1600 that attends XYZ U's honors college everyone in that college is like that. So wrong.


Well, at least the two of you found each other because otherwise your posts would be completely useless.

Get off your high horse…. You must be so great wasting time here with the plebs…

For a 1380 -1420 kid whose option might be a t40-t60 school , these honor colleges at Penn State or ASU’s Barrett is likely a much better play.

I do not think that is true for all the schools listed above. You need pretty high stats to get into some of them.
