<p>yeah i got a dean’s scholarship, but I think that is just preliminary. i’m wondering about the honors program…:</p>
<p>Honors program at Fordham is a major committment lasting 4 years. Its incredibly difficult and there is a lot of grade deflation. Its also limited to about 25 kids per class. On the other hand, there are Honors Majors in several schools and they allow you an Honors Certificate at Graduation and your transcript is duly marked. They are also by invitation, usually during Sophomore year after Fordham sees how you are doing. They allow for more flexibility in picking majors, and maybe a double major and minor. In my opinion, they are better. </p>
<p>The Freshman Honors Program is prestigious. But it is very controlled on what you can do and can’t do and its an incredible amount of work (and stress.) If you get invited by Fordham into that program, good for you. If not, don’t sweat it. You may well be invited to another Honors program following freshmen year if you rise to the top of the class. Fordham ranks its students the old fashioned way and tries to direct them to their strengths.</p>
