<p>Thanks… bump</p>

<p>I’m really wanting UW Honors…</p>

<p>Honors is a crapshoot; they’ll either like your essays or they wont.</p>

<p>I got rejected from Honors with a very high GPA and 2200+ SAT. On the flip side, I know kids with sub2000 SATs and unexceptional GPAs who got Honors.</p>

5

<p>Oh man… is there anything else I should work on to get into honors?
Any tips??</p>

6

<p>Also, I want to do Pre-med… any tips for that? Because I want to become either a cardiologist or cardiothoracic surgeon.</p>

<p>Honors looks for interdisciplinary focused students. That means you take 2 fields and ‘combine’ them (ie. english and premed, computer science and premed). Honors core is nice for the first year or two, especially for networking. You really should concentrate on getting into departmental honors (what REALLY counts) in your major field though.</p>

<p>Yes, I personally would only want departmental honors</p>
