<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Since about 61% of all (all = 5,738) 2012-2013 Fall enrolled freshmen have a GPA (out of 4.0) of 3.75 or higher (this comes out to around 3,500 freshmen) I’d estimate about 25% (or less) of those students are offered the University Scholarship of $9,600. That would be an estimate of about 875 students.</p>

<p>Since we are talking about enrolled students here, virtually all would attend.</p>

<p>By the way - it’s an Honors “Program” not a “College”. Generally, schools which offer a high quality curriculum don’t need to focus resources into a special college to attract the best students. At FSU the Honors Program offers enrichment for basic classes and inroads into undergrad research opportunities. After basic classes students can embark on the Honors-in-the-Major path, which fits in with research opportunities.</p>

<p>For Honors-in-the-Major, FSU does, as shown here: [The</a> Florida State University | FSU Honors Program](<a href=“http://honorsinthemajor.fsu.edu/liaisons/index.html]The”>http://honorsinthemajor.fsu.edu/liaisons/index.html)</p>

<p>Not sure about UF.</p>

<p>The published theses for FSU don’t seem complete…</p>

<p>With the Florida State Honors-in-the major programs (requirements vary by department) the thesis approaches that completed under a Masters graduate degree.</p>

<p>The work may be published in a peer-reviewed journal and defended before other FSU faculty. With my D1, whose work was completed in biochemistry, she defended her thesis before faculty and one faculty member on the panel had to be reminded she was an undergraduate, not a graduate student.</p>

<p>She ultimately won a cash award for her work which paid for her expenses when she traveled to another national university to present her work before a national symposium. She was recruited to apply for graduate programs at other schools as a result of this presentation, but decided med school was for her.</p>

<p>This can be done again.</p>
