<p>If I don't get accepted into my 1st/2nd choice schools, I want to know if I will be able to apply for Honors while a student.</p>
<p>Thanks :D</p>
<p>PS: How competitive is the Dean's Honors for Natural Science?</p>
<p>If you aren't accepted an honors program before you actually start classes, I believe that it's invitation-only.</p>
<p>Dean's Scholars is quite competitive. It is a small group.</p>
<p>When you become an upper level student, you can be in an honors type program in your major and graduate with, say, "honors in biology."</p>
<p>If you don't get into the Honors program, don't be upset.</p>
<p>You can graduate with Honors without being in the Honors program. You can also do research as an undergrad without being in the Honors program.</p>
<p>Oh sweet, thanks alot.</p>
<p>Dean's Scholars Honors doesnt use the invitation process.
Anybody can apply, including those not currently in college of natural sciences provided you will declare a major there.
However, you need to get 2 good letters of recommendation from your professors, and have a GPA of 3.75 or above for the semester. Getting in there as a student at UT is pretty competitive.</p>
