<p>My son was accepted into FSU last week (online) and we received a letter in the mail today with the formal acceptance letter. There was no mention of the honors program. Does this mean he will not be invited to join honors or is that offer made completely separately?</p>
<p>Thanks for any insight!</p>
<p>Congratulations to your son Fortmom!
According to the FSU Admissions facebook page, honors invitations are separate from the formal acceptance letter and are going out later this week. Good luck!</p>
<p>My son was accepted last week and just this minute received an email inviting him to the Honors program. Proud Dad here!</p>
<p>My son accepted last week and received email invitation to the honors program this evening.</p>
<p>Congratulations! My older daughter who is a product of this process recently graduated from med school and is now in residency. It does work.</p>
<p>I just received my honors invitation as well!</p>
<p>Thanks and congrats to all. My son’s invitation has arrived as well. Very excited for him for the opportunity!</p>
<p>Those of you who received invitations - either for yourself or children - do you mind posting some stats (gap, scores, etc.)? I’m just curious 
Congrats by the way!!!</p>
<p>My sons scores(*from memory). 31 ACT, 4.4 Weighted GPA, 11-12 AP classes upon graduation. Some good, unique EC’s.
I just looked and it appears FSU honors has more stringent admission criteria than UF(with the exception of ACT)</p>
<p>^Oops, FSU’s is average admission. No minimums listed.</p>
<p>My son started in fall 2012. He got honors invitation but we turned down as he is film school student and would not have been able to take advantage of honors classes, etc. His scores were 2180 SAT, 32 ACT. 10+ AP classes and IB diploma, VP of junior and sr class.</p>
<p>D got accepted to honors program. She is not sure she wants to participate, has
heard of students that didn’t like it and dropped out. She wants to be a biology major, join a sorority and play a club sport. Is it realistic to do all that and still be in honors? Can anyone think of any negatives to the honors program?</p>
<p>None. </p>
<p>Honors = smaller classes, better access to faculty, priority registration, greater opportunities for undergrad research…</p>
