Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Alabama

<p>Hi All,</p>

<p>Since we’re snowed in, I’ve been going through all the mail in the “college pile.” As I was taking a look at the “sorry” letter from University Fellows Experience, I noticed that it says “you will be receiving in a few weeks an invitation to come to UA for a personalized in depth visit with the Honors College.” </p>

<p>D has already been to Honors Day back in the Fall, plus CSD earlier this month. She’ll be at an honors Bama Bound then Alabama Action. Any idea what this upcoming Honors visit would have that she hasn’t already gotten?</p>

<p>*Any idea what this upcoming Honors visit would have that she hasn’t already gotten? *</p>

<p>No, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Dr. Sharpe has some other ideas of things that kids like yours could get involved with.</p>

<p>When you get the notice, look to see if it’s just a standard invite for those honors kids who haven’t visited Bama, or if it’s something else.</p>

<p>Thanks M2CK…that’s what I was wondering. If the schedule looks boilerplate compared to the other two events (I saved the handouts :slight_smile: then D may skip. But it’s not a bad drive to Tuscaloosa so we could be persuaded to visit again.</p>

<p>noticed that mentioned too - It’s quite a flight for us but if there is something new Honors-y to do the we would consider it. A few loose ends we’d rather tie up in person before registering for classes.</p>

<p>Last year DD and I attended a smaller Honors Day, I believe it was March 6th.</p>

<p>We could not attend or visit before because of athletic conflicts.</p>

<p>U of A was the first of admitted student / honors programs we attended. After our day the other schools had alot to live up to!</p>

<p>I hope they do have another day for those who have not visited & those students undecided.</p>

<p>We had a Introduction from the Honors College, discussion from a small group of current students. DD then went a sampled a honors lecture, and we also went to an introduction to her declared major (5 students in that group). Then lunch and dorm tour. They also had a bus tour for those of us who had not been to campus.</p>

<p>i didn’t notice that (about getting an invite to another honors thing). guess i didn’t read it all the way through.</p>

<p>my DD already has enough love FOR alabama. UA just doesn’t have enough love for HER!</p>

<p>(since she is not NMF or sky high test scorer.)</p>

<p>the honors college sounds wonderful, but not wonderful enough for the extra cost. : (</p>

<p>^^^</p>

<p>Let’s hope Bama comes thru with a dept scholarship for her. :)</p>

8

<p>idk even if they did it would probably be a small one like 1500-2000 (like engineering does)</p>

<p>the door seems to be closing on alabama.</p>

9

<p>where else would she choose then?</p>

10

<p>MIke…</p>

<p>Have you tried seeing if Bama will meet UArk’s offer?</p>

11

<p>i emailed a lady that i met at the reception last week. wont hear back from her until this week if at all.</p>

<p>i asked about it. we will see what she says.</p>

<p>: /</p>

<p>where will she go?</p>

<p>she has acceptances to texas a&m, baylor and univ. arkansas.</p>

<p>not sure where she will end up. : ?</p>

12

<p>Did you attach the UArk offer?</p>

13

<p>no i didn’t. i figured i would go ahead and ask about it and then send supporting info if needed.</p>

<p>Ahh…that also gives you a good excuse to follow up later. :)</p>
