1.) They offered me a full academic scholarship... an offer I thought I could not refuse at the time.

2.) My recommendations (it is a good school with a solid reputation academically) is to study hard now. If you are naturally smart, just remember, mostly everyone else there is too! One requirement when I applied was to be in the top 25% of your class... I graduated in the top 10% and believe me, it was no skate to the graduation ceremony. Most of the girls in my dorm were either the saluatorian or valedictorian of their own classes. I wasn't, but at MY highschool there were enough High Honors grads, it hardly made a difference. So, if you think brains is enough, it's not. You must know HOW to study to do well here. It took me a full year to learn that before I began to make the Dean's list! No one holds your hand at a big school like this, so you better learn to hold your own hand, QUICK!

People in H.S should definitely focus on their SAT and GPA, as with most colleges they are applying to.
Nowadays UCONN is relatively hard to get into and getting more competitive. At least a 3.4 gpa and 1800 SAT to almost guarantee admission.

If you work hard in high school (good grades and worthwhile activities) you can get into most schools of your choice.

I was pretty involved in my extra-curricular activities in high school, and had a decent G.P.A. along with it. However, with a 49% acceptance rate and declining, that may not be enough to get in anymore. Over 21,000 students applied last year alone, and roughly 3,500 get accepted to Storrs each year. Don't be discouraged by this, though. If you are confident in the effort and work you put in during your high school career, you should be just fine.

I had really good grades, SAT scores. I was involved in a lot of sports and some after school activities. You don't have to have an extraordinary resume but it is getting more and more competitive to get in. Try to project your uniqueness into your application.
