Admission

First-Year Students
For incoming first-year students, admission to the Honors College is by invitation only. The selection committee uses the general TCU admission application; therefore, students do not need to submit a separate Honors College application. When evaluating students’ applications, the selection committee takes into consideration various quantitative and qualitative factors, such as strength of the high school curriculum, rank in class, high school grade point average, SAT and/or ACT scores, and involvement in community service, extra-curricular activities, and leadership.

Once the committee has selected students for admission, the Honors College sends formal invitations via U.S. mail. Invited students should expect to receive their invitation anytime from late December to early April.

All first-year Honors College students live in Milton Daniel Honors House, provided there is space available in the hall.
