<p>My son will be applying to Alabama about a week from now. Our understanding is the process is 1) Apply and be accepted to UA; 2) Complete Honors application with essay; 3) Apply to CBH</p>
<p>On CC I have read to not worry about putting a lot of effort into the essay for the honors application as it is not much more than a formality. Is this good advice if one is planning on applying to CBH? Does the honors application become part of the packet that the CBH review board reviews?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
