About honors programs

<p>If you were to apply for the honors program, would that count as a choice for the 2 slots on the application?</p>

<p>ie. 1. BHP
2. Business</p>

<p>What I'm trying to say is if you don't get into honors, will that hurt you in admissions for the regular college</p>

<p>no, it won't count as one of them. business would be your first and something else (ie liberal arts) would be your second.</p>

<p>you then fill out the separate honors application after you've completed the ut application.</p>

<p>admission to mccombs and bhp are two different processes, not getting into bhp doesn't hurt you getting into mccombs at all.</p>

<p>When do you do the honors application form?</p>

<p>The honors application is completed after the general application. Once you complete that, you are allowed to fill out the honors application.</p>

<p>Is the honors application the same as the scholarship application?</p>

<p>No. Dd just applied. There is an application for admission, a scholarship application, and an honors application, all 3 different.</p>

<p>First she finishes the admission application, and then she does the scholarship application - and these two need to be done soon? </p>

<p>And then, daughter has more time to get the Liberal Arts honors application in? Or does that need to go in now too?</p>

<p>you must submit the admission application to receive the honors application if i am not mistaken</p>

<p>however you can just submitted the application with blanks in the essays and then access the honors application. it requires simply personal info and a short academic statement about what your interests are which is supposed to be informal. The only reason they have it is so they know who wants to be considered for honors--there really is no extra work.</p>

<p>The admission and honors apps are both due by February 1. You probably won't hear back from the honors program until March or April, but you may hear back from the university much sooner. I received my acceptance letter 3 days after my file was complete--maybe because I was a top 10% student, though. I didn't even submit the essays until later.</p>

<p>The scholarship application is separate. It requires brief financial and employment information as well as a few short essays. It should be submitted by December 1 for "priority consideration." I really don't know what that means. I'd submit it by December 1.</p>

<p>From what I understand, the chances of receiving a merit scholarship are slim to none. But there's really no pain in applying. The app's pretty short so you won't lose much time over it.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>
