<p>Does anyone know how we are getting our decisions on whether we are accepted into the Thematic Option or Freshman Science Honors? Are they sending letters or is there somewhere we can find out online? The letter I initially got said they would get back to us by April 2.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone still waiting!</p>
<p>i think for TO, if you are invited to apply, you are automatically accepted if your send your application in. Not sure about FSH</p>
<p>Hey,
I just found out that i got the Trustee, but I never got an invitation to apply for TO! Is it too late?? Can I apply when I get there? Thanks :-)</p>
<p>deadline was 24th</p>
<p>Try to call them and submit your TO application asap, today (Friday)</p>
<p>It may be after the deadline, but they may be flexible if you tell them that you just got the trustee and that made you want to come to usc/do TO</p>
<p>If not, they'll just put you on the waiting list. I know some people who got into TO from the waiting list during orientation last year :) It will probably be the same next year.</p>
<p>ack.. 4/2 is tomorrow! good luck to everybody who applied! :crossing my fingers for fsh:</p>
<p>I was going to apply to this but I totally forgot haha. Whoops!</p>
<p>im doing the Thematic option application right now. haha.</p>
<p>hmmm, it's April 2nd, and no reply on either programs. What's the deal?</p>
<p>Edit: Oh, just got off the phone with USC admissions- they'll probably be sending them out BY MAIL either tomorrow or the next day</p>
<p>They aren't going to alert us through email?</p>
<p>Shucks! I was hoping to find out today!</p>
<p>has anyone found out yet? i was expecting something in the mail today, but nothing was there... :(</p>
<p>are the advantages realy taht great?
i applied to FSH but only cause i could..if that makes sense
cool lol good luck!</p>
<p>alright, well, i went on a conference yesterday with some usc peeps, and they say that fsh decisions were going to be sent today, so hopefully we find out tomorrow! ^shedoesntgetit, they say that fsh basically provides more of a social environment, the main thing being closer interaction with your professor and your peers in a smaller classroom. the honor curriculum's also more challenging in the fsh program: the chem professor said that rather than just learning to solve problems, students take concepts more in-depth and learn their applications. for me, that's a great advantage :)</p>
<p>yay, i got my acceptance to the Thematic Option Program today, after being invited to apply. Now for that Freshman Science Honors letter...</p>
<p>My daughter received an invitation to the College Honors Society (CHS). She had been invited to, and applied for, Thematic Option (TO). The booklet says that CHS members are drawn from different academic programs, including TO.</p>
<p>Is there a connection between CHS and TO? Does "we invite you to CHS" imply "No TO for you"? I guess this will all be cleared up in a few days, but in case someone knows, I'd be curious.</p>
<p>I believe that CHS is more of a general honors society, with no classes, but rather activities for Honors students. It is the common thread of all the honors programs, the trunk of the honors tree, I guess you could say, with the various honors programs as the branches. Sorry, that was a bad analogy. Basically, your D can be in both. :)</p>
<p>i got the same thing! honors society thing but nothing about TO or FSH</p>
<p>edit to add: this is my 420th post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! effyea!</p>
<p>I think CHS is for members of TO, FSH, and Bac/MD. I think being invited to it means that you were accepted to one of the programs... but don't quote me on that.</p>
