Ethel Waddell Githii Honors Program Admissions<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Honors Program has two admissions processes.\u00a0 A student may apply for Honors as part of general college first-year admissions; or, she may apply in the spring semester following her first year of study at the College.<\/span><\/p>\n

First-Year Admissions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Spelman College employs the Common Application for admission to the College<\/a><\/span>. \u00a0Students who wish to be included in the Githii Honors review will receive an invitation if she meets the following minimum requirements:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Academic Year 2023-24.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students with a strong academic record and demonstrated commitment to their own intellectual development will be invited to apply for the Honors Program. Any student that has achieved a high school GPA of at least 4.0 will receive an invitation. Prospective Honors Program applicants must apply in the Early Decision or Early Action application rounds. Those who are invited will be required to submit an additional essay, provided in the invitation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In evaluating each applicant, the Honors Program Committee considers:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 Demonstrated commitment to her own intellectual development;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 Strength of her academic program;<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 Organization and clarity of her independently produced writing samples;<\/span><\/p>\n

Rising Sophomore Admissions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On May 22nd, 2023, the honors faculty committee voted unanimously to permanently suspend the rising sophomore application. <\/span>This decision effectively ends <\/span>additional<\/span>\u00a0opportunities for Spelman students, including transfer students<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0to apply for admission to our program. Students who <\/span>remain<\/span>\u00a0interested in an <\/span>honors<\/span>\u00a0experience are encouraged to pursue membership in academic societies within their major department.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
