\"Ramapo\"<\/div>\n

Student must have a 3.50 GPA from the Fall semester. For admission, excellent performance in the first semester and a high school GPA in a challenging high school curriculum are necessary, but not sufficient, criteria. SAT and ACT scores are optional. Grade point average and entrance examination score (if submitted) are only two measures assessing the intellectual, creative, and moral engagement of applicants. Qualitative measures, including essays and letters of recommendation, will be used to assess the intellectual independence or engaged learning values of the applicant. It is possible that a student could have high grades or test scores but lack in the intrinsic or \u2018engaged learning\u2019 values necessary to flourish in the College Honors Program. It is also possible that a student could have less than excellent test scores but demonstrate intellectual, creative and moral engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n
