Honors App Questions

<p>Does anyone know the questions from last years honors application? S is trying to decide which essay to include on the regular application as his personal statement. He has two good ones but one is better and he is thinking of saving the best one in case it can be used for Honors. However if it is not needed for Honors then they will not have his best for any part of the application process.</p>

<p>Not sure what the question was from last year, but if I were him, I’d send in the best one. What good is a great essay if you don’t even get to use it because you don’t get accepted?</p>

<p>^ I agree but when you have written this many essays and there are more to come it is nice to fit what you can where you can :)</p>

<p>No one remembers last years honors essays?</p>

<p>Maybe you could search the NC State forum for ‘honors’ to find previous related threads which could lead you to posters who applied to honors last year; then send them a PM.</p>

<p>Not sure if this helps at all, but here is the prompt from the UHP application from two years ago . . .</p>

<p>Honors Program Essay
Typical University Honors Program students seek something different from their undergraduate experience. UHP students see their education as involving more than simply attending classes and set themselves apart by focusing on an education based on discovery, inquiry, and creativity. They pursue the central goal of the UHP, which is to extend their undergraduate education by finding unique opportunities among the many diverse resources of a major, land-grant, research university.
Discuss how the goals you have established for your undergraduate education are consistent with the description we have provided of typical UHP students and with the central goal of the Program. If your education to date has included any formal experiences relevant to this description (for example, a summer research experience or a significant independent creative project), please be sure to describe them.</p>

<p>I have a general Honors App question:</p>

<p>Where do I go to apply/is it too late?
If I do apply/am accepted, do I have to attend?</p>
