<p>Who here got into the Honors Program?</p>
<p>and who else is going to the Honors Program weekend in two weeks? I'll be there.</p>
<p>Getting accepted to the honors program and the big scholarship they gave me made my college choice so much harder now!</p>
<p>My son doesn't post here, but we'll be there. Maybe he'll see you there.</p>
<p>Awesome.</p>
<p>I'll be the 6'3" kid named Christian Storm</p>
<p>My D has been offered the Honors Program as well as DSA. We will be attending that weekend and looking forward to it as it will be our first visit.</p>
<p>i got in to the honors program and I got the dsa</p>
<p>So did my son. He'll be the 6'0" kid looking a bit like a blondish Neo from The Matrix.</p>
<p>Exciting times! Congratulations to all of you on the honors invites and I hope you have a wonderful time at the Honors weekend.</p>
<p>S got the DSA and Honors Program. Also TECHS (Engineering Honor Society) so he is going to Engineering Scholar Days (4/8) instead of Honors Weekend. Sorry we'll miss you. He will be the one who wishes he were 6' tall, but isn't. :rolleyes: Anyone going to Engineering Scholar Day? (Of course, now that I've said the above, I can never identify us, under pain of death).</p>
<p>wow, lots of moms here.</p>
<p>the DSA i'm assuming is the dean's scholorship...with an A at the end(?). If you don't mind, can i ask how much that is? I recieved one, but i'm not sure if it was the DSA.</p>
<p>I think I know the acronyms:
DHS - Dean's Honor Scholarship - full ride, requires separate application and special project.
DSA - Distinguished Scholar Award - $22K, no special application required
Founders - less than DSA ($15K?), also no special app required</p>
<p>DSA and Founders are per year, renewable if keep GPA at acceptable level(2.8 I believe)</p>
<p>There are others, esp. for La. residents, which I'm not familiar with.</p>
<p>Edit: Moms are fast.<br>
Edit2: Wait, it was her 666th post. Hmmmm.</p>
<p>DHS is full tuition. Some folks call that "free ride." To me, full ride means both tuition as well as room/board. But I have seen both interpretations.</p>
<p>jmmom-
Hope you aren't superstitious. Look at your post # !!!! 666!!!
PS-- Freaky post # aside, CONGRATS!</p>
<p>oh nice</p>
<p>i got a DSA, which is a plus</p>
<p>Thanks, tabby - I guess I thought it was "free ride" (incl. room/board). Gee, now I don't miss S getting it at all ;)</p>
<p>All - I guess I'm not superstitious since I had to google 666, but with this post I break the spell? :confused:</p>
<p>Our son got the DSA, too, which is nice because, once they add the extras to it based on need, it becomes the basis for a very generous package! He's leaning VERY hard toward Tulane these days even without all his letters in.</p>
<p>I'll be at honors weekend, too. See ya'll there.</p>
<p>Hey, Ballerina, we're from NC, too. Long drive, eh?</p>
<p>Yeah, we're from right outside of Asheville. We're actually going to fly because I have to be back at school as soon as possible for a Relay for Life event I have to run (very tight schedule haha). Plus my school is not too generous with the attendance policy. I had to drive down once when I was little and my family went to New Orleans so I remember how far it is---I guess if I'm there next year I will be doing it again!</p>
<p>We're from right outside of Hendersonville! Where do you go to school--or is that too specific for a public board?</p>
