Anyone with an outstanding high school record and a broad range of interests may apply. To gauge how you stack up with students in the program, here are some helpful statistics:

• There are about 120 students in Alfred’s Honors Program.
• There are generally 40-55 applicants per year and about two-thirds are accepted.
• 15-20% of the Honors students are National Merit Scholars.
• The majority of Honors students were in the top 5% of their high school class; nearly all were in the top 10%.
• The middle 50% of Honors freshmen have combined SAT scores
  between 1270 and 1410.
• Many applicants have taken AP or college-level courses.

The single most important admission consideration is your high school transcript. If you are a New York State resident, your Regents grades will be a factor. A recommendation from someone at your high school who knows your academic work is a must. Finally, your essay application for Honors is taken very seriously.
