<p>Hi, </p>
<p>If you are an incoming freshman who has been invited to the honors program, does that mean you're pretty much guaranteed to get in? Or is there still a chance you won't be accepted?</p>
<p>I dont know! I’m nervous because the honors program at USD is one of the main reasons I would choose to go there, but I dont want to have to wait to long before I choose my school!</p>
<p>Exactly. Hopefully it works out</p>
<p>can you apply to honors program after being admitted or do you have to be invited?</p>
<p>Incoming freshman can only apply to the honors program if they’ve been invited to, but youre allowed to transfer into it without invitation after your first year</p>
<p>if you receive the alcala scholarship ($20,000) is it likely that they will accept you into the honors college? It is super important to me that I am accepted, and I’m really nervous!</p>
<p>Apply early to honors…It is invitation only for incoming freshman. My daughter did not get in despite the invitation but I think she either wrote a poor essay or failed to submit it on time. </p>
<p>She did join after first semester freshman year. Once you are at USD and meet the GPA criteria you can join even if not invited initially or not accepted initially.</p>
<p>Good luck and have fun in college.</p>
<p>I was told 25% acceptance rate, letters coming out on the 18th.</p>
