What are the criteria used for admission into the honors program? Will I have to submit something in addition to the standard Georgia Tech application?
There is no separate application for the Honors Program, nor is there a particular combination of test scores and grades that guarantees an invitation into the program. When students have been formally accepted to Georgia Tech, they will receive information from the Honors Program asking them to contact the Honors Program via e-mail if they wish to be considered for an invitation; there is no additional material needed. The Honors Program Selection Committee then evaluates the application materials and supporting credetials that students originally submitted for admission to the Institute. All of the information included in the application will be considered in the decisions, and special attention will be given students who have shown evidence of considerable commitment to intellectual, cultural, and social concerns and who seem to possess a strong desire for a challenging, interdisciplinary, inquiry-based educational experience.
