Honors invite

<p>Is it almost guaranteed that a student will get into the Honors program if they qualified with the requisite GPA/SAT or ACT? I know two essays are required, but do most students get in with decent essays? Do they have an advantage over those petitioning for a spot who have to submit 3 essays? Do they have a set number of students that they're looking for and take most of the higher stat students and fill the rest with petitioners?</p>
