Honors Program questions

<p>I have just applied (sent the essay) to the Honors program (I was invited by e-mail), and when am I expected to hear the decision? I've searched around the forum, and I saw some people that are already accepted.</p>

<p>My concern is that I was accepted to Michigan on the 1st week of November (yes one of the first acceptances), and the invitation letter said I should submit the essay no later than 3 weeks. But as you see, I sent the essay like 3 months after I received the invitation letter. But the letter also says the deadline is in April. Would that make a huge difference (my lateness) to the decision?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>
