Honors program student here to answer questions

<p>Please feel free to ask me ANYTHING... I am also an Honors Ambassador and on several Honors Program committees. I am also applying to become a Scarlet Ambassador (like a tour guide but better), so I know a lot about the school in general.</p>

<p>I will be completely honest with you. Send me a private message if you'd prefer.</p>

<p>Good luck with your college decisions and GO RU!</p>

<p>I’m trying to decide between UCF Honors and UF non-honors. I made a pro-con list.
(i’m majoring in business … what do you suggest?)</p>

<p>UF:
better school
make new friends (don’t know a lot of people going)
like the campus
college town
football games/united students
feels more like me</p>

<p>UCF:
Honors program
$10,000 scholarship
smaller classes
friends going there (2 best friends)
better dorms
like the Orlando area
comfortable environment
they want me more</p>

<p>I just applied to the honors program for SAS. I have a 4.0/5.4 gpa and a 1350 SAT, and a pretty good essay. Is it safe to say that I will be accepted or no?</p>

<p>based on purely stats levitylev, I’d say yes. But how are your recs? and is there a reason why you weren’t admitted to begin with? ie making the rank/sat cutoff?</p>

<p>epercival, do you have any idea whether AP credits count towards 54 credits required to be allowed to have a car on campus.</p>

<p>TIA.</p>

<p>naoise, I have good recs. Firstly, my SAT CR score is 600 and not 650. Otherwise i have 750 on math, 760 writing, and 12 on essay. Secondly, I’m not ranked in the top 10% of my class.</p>

<p>Students accepted into the honors program automatically receive scholarships? I scored a 1480/2190 (750m, 730cr, 710w) on the sat… how much scholarship will that get me?</p>

<p>depends on your gpa and rank. check the other threads that are specifically about first-year scholarships. and it’s not automatic. It’s coincidental that the smart kids are in the hp and are getting scholarships. </p>

<p>and levitylev, you’re good to go. </p>

<p>and you only need to be a sophomore to have a car on campus. that’s about 23 credits or more if I’m not mistaken. and yeah, ap credit counts for that.</p>

<p>When do we find out if we get accepted or rejected from the Honors college? Does NB business have an honors college?</p>

<p>how closely do they look at the top 10% cut off? I’m no where near that, but i believe my SAT, AP and course load overly outweighs that. What is the process to get your application under review?</p>

<p>bluebacon: you’ll be happy to know that they do take other things into consideration. I know someone who was probably 20% in the class and got into the hp with a 1360 m/v and with some stellar extracurrics (she’s got a pilot license, takes cooking classes, multiple editor positions etc)</p>

<p>I believe the process is that they look at your recs and essay and most likely courseload.</p>

<p>thanks a lot naoise! im hopin for the best! do you have any idea when the letters go out?</p>

<p>I also got into the honors program, but I only received a 10k a year scholarship so I’m not sure if I’m going to go. Are you having a good time at Rutgers? Do you feel bad you’re there instead of a more selective school? Is your experience in the honors program/overall experience what you want/expected it to be?</p>

<p>kungfumaster, if you’re addressing me who started this thread, I’ve posted my thoughts on going to a state school on the first page. </p>

<p>and only 10k? Since rutgers is about 22k a year (and rising), you’d be paying about $12,000 a year. that’s 4x less than private school.</p>

<p>Is there a way to transfer into the Honors Program after your 1st year?</p>

<p>hey guys, i know this isn’t quite an honors question but someone may know the answer anyway… </p>

<p>i got accepted to all the rutgers universities in new jersey and i’m going in for biology… just want to know that difference between:</p>

<p>School of Arts and Sciences in New Brunswick
School of Environmental and Biological Sciences</p>

<p>If they both offer my bio classes, what would be the difference? are they on like two different campuses?</p>

<p>Is all honors housing at Rutgers better than the standard dorm ?
Also, what’s the workload like? Is there a large gap between honors and non honors students?</p>

<p>Can a transfer apply for the honors program?</p>

<p>transfer with a 3.7 after 32 credits makes the honors program i believe</p>

<p>John you have to apply for honors or are you automatically accepted into it?</p>
