Applying to the JWHC The JWHC admits students through a competitive application process. We invite applications from high school students who desire to participate in a creative, interdisciplinary community of committed learners and have met at least one of the following criteria:
- combined SAT score of 1320 or higher (Math/Critical Reading)
- combined SAT score of 1980 or higher (Math/Critical Reading/Writing)
- composite ACT score of 30 or higher
- rank in the top 10 percent of graduating class
- GPA of 3.70 or higher (on a 4.0 scale)
Prospective students who do not meet one of these criteria, may still petition to apply to the JWHC. Such students should submit a letter (via email or US post) to the Honors College office communicating why their academic preparation, intellectual character, and vocational objectives make them strong candidates for admission into an honors learning community. If a student's petition is approved by the Honors College admissions committee, then he or she will be invited to apply to the JWHC.
The Honors College Admissions Committee begins reviewing applications to the JWHC in November and will continue to consider applications on a “rolling” basis. However, because the JWHC can only admit a select number of applicants each year, prospective students are advised to apply and interview as early in the year as possible. Students may apply to the JWHC before being accepted by IWU, but will not receive an offer to join the Honors College until after university acceptance.
Promising candidates who have submitted all their application materials will be invited to interview with members of the admissions committee. The preference is on-campus interviews, but the admissions committee will conduct phone interviews with applicants who are unable to travel to campus.
