<p>E-mailed admissions yesterday; honors invitations are in the mail.</p>
<p>Now the tough part - waiting for the mail to arrive!</p>
<p>I hate waiting for the mail! Glad I have an "off" year between son and daughters.</p>
<p>is it honors invites for everyone, rd and ed alike, or just ones for the early applicants?</p>
<p>What are the differences in attending the honors program? For example, is it more humanities-based? Any incentives?</p>
<p>No, it allows you to enroll in special sections of classes that are taught by profs and limited to 20 or students. There are also additional academic supports that help with post-bac grants and awards. And if you do the Honors thesis you will get a Honors degree.</p>
<p>I would like to add that one can take a honors class without being in the honors program. You have to get permission from the professor teaching the class, but it can happen. My son was not in the honors program but wanted to take a particular honor's math class. As he had score a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam, the professor allowed him to take the class. He also took one other honor's class the next year.</p>
<p>I just received the letter/certificate today. I was invited into the honors program!</p>
<p>congrats rovee!</p>
<p>thanks alongfortheride!</p>
<p>rovee/Concerneddat:</p>
<p>if you don't mind asking, what sort of stats does the school look for in the honors program?</p>
<p>how is one selected for the honors program? is there a certain gpa, sat score etc.?</p>
<p>also, how many students are selected? (percentage?)</p>
<p>You know, I am not really sure how the selction process goes for Honors. Some have suggested that it is based on GPA. I do know that not every DSA awardee is admitted into Honors at the start, and it is said that DSA is based on SAT/ACT. In any event, as has been said many times, even if not invited initially, you can earn your way into Honors by performing well Freshmen year.</p>
<p>Clewlessme, I think about 10-15% of incoming freshman.</p>
<p>clew - the letter reads "Tulane University extends invitations for the program to the top fifteen percent of the admitted students." It does not say what the criteria are.</p>
<p>I am in the Honors program with a 1400 and 4.0 unweighted</p>
<p>What exactly are the benefits of the program? Is it just a different residence(is it better than normal residences) harder classes, or what? The paper and the websites doesn't really say much. On a side note, I find it cool that the director gave us his sn for AIM whom I'll ask the questions to if he comes on.</p>
