<p>Well i found out a little earlier than everyone else (decissions are being mailed out tomorrow actually) but I got into SMU's honors program. So now i'm actually considering going there now.</p>
<p>Anyway goodluck everyone and post up if you got in!</p>
<p>Wow, I still haven't found out :/ I got a letter saying I was nominated and they owuld be making decisions soon about a week ago. I definitely wouldn't go if I didn't get into Honors, though.</p>
<p>well i got my actual letter in yesterday(saturday) and i live in dallas TX, so the mail time was probably jsut a day for me... you should find out soon. i was in the same possition... i really wasn't considering smu at all and didn't know about this so i'm definitely thinking about it now</p>
<p>so you get a nomination letter first, then an acceptance letter for Honors?</p>
<p>What are the advantages and disadvantages to being in Honors? It seems like Honors is directed more towards General Studies and undecided majors? Would Honors be beneficial for pre-med/pre-dental students?</p>
<p>My D is taking a pre-med curriculum and is in Honors. She seems to be doing it more because it seems like a good idea than that the classes are the ones she really wants to take. She sometimes finds that given her goals (2 majors, 2 minors) that getting in an "elective" course that meets honors requirements is a luxury. She has mentioned that she may not be able to meet the program requirements because of this...but she's still trying to do so.</p>
<p>It IS more difficult for some majors than others, to be sure. But my sense is that most kids who are in it, really want to STAY in it.</p>
<p>hey flashback87, do you think the honors program really makes a difference in the long run? because they have honors programs for you actual school too. the one they are accepting freshmen to is a university honors program that gets you a liberal arts honors degree or something like that..</p>
<p>pdesai, I didn't accept my admission into the Honors Program, but a lot of my friends did. It really only involves doing more advanced classes in the liberal arts, such as English, history, and philosophy. If you are really into the sciences, you won't benefit directly from being an Honors student, but if you want a well-rounded liberal arts education to complement your scientific training, then go for it. Many of my pre-med/pre-dental friends did it.</p>
