Honors Program

<p>Do ppl get accepted to the honors program after BC determines yield? Or is it just ppl who initially got into it?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I don’t know about the honors programs in the other schools, but no further acceptances will be sent out for A&S. However, you may still have a shot at it, since a few students are usually invited to join as sophomores (based on superior performance as freshmen).</p>

<p>oh, i see. I thought they’d offer it to more people later, assuming that some or even most of these people attend other schools. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>BC does assume that some of these students will choose to attend Ivies and other top schools; that’s why they invite more than they actually want in the program, assuming there will be some turn-downs. (At least that’s how it was explained to us by the Admissions rep for our region a few years ago.)</p>

<p>I know people who were invited into the Honors program over the summer even though they were not initially accepted. I don’t know if this happens for A&S Honors, and I don’t think it happens frequently, but it is possible. Hope that helps!</p>

<p>What are the criteria for acceptance into the honors program? I had heard it was entirely academic, but I know some students from my high school that got into the program with lower GPA, lower SAT/ACT, etc. I was in top 10-5% for GPA and had a 2210 SAT and did not get accepted.</p>

<p>There’s definitely more to it than just GPA and SATs</p>

<p>same jake jake. I thought i had a good chance, but didnt get in it either. unfortunate :/</p>
