<p>That should tell you what it is.
My friend went on one of those honors student tours and told me that the tour guide said about 90ish % of the honors students get into medical school. It seems a little too good to be true.. unless if the honors program is very very selective.</p>
<p>I also heard that about 66% of the honors students drop out of the honors program because of its difficulty. So the remaining students must be hardworking intellectuals.</p>

<p>I highly doubt the veracity of that statement... I think the more probable situation that went down was that your friend misheard, or your tourguide was gravely misinformed</p>
<p>classes in the honors program aren't any more difficult than normal classes. </p>
<p>and anything that offers priority registration at UCLA is worth doing.</p>
<p>My friend seemed so excited about that statement. ^__^;
I think she said that the descisions came out today, but she hasn't called me back with the results...</p>
<p>that 90% rumor is a rumor....</p>
<p>honors isn't hard to get in at all... basicallly, you qualify for the program if you have a 3.5 GPA or above. And yeah, a lot of people drop out because of the workload. It's not exactly that much harder, but just a LOT more work. And in my opinion, I don't think it's worth it unless you want it to look good on the diploma, or you want it for grad school. The only thing good about it is you get priority enrollment. As for me, I'm just getting the required amount of honor units I need for this year, so that way I can get priority enrollment for next year's classes. Then I'm dropping out :P</p>
<p>i believe that the honors results are up...?
if you look on myucla, there is an honors link on the left</p>
<p>am i right about this?</p>
<p>I wasn't sure whether to join the honors program, I got called and told about it, but I was thinking about double majoring, and double majoring with honors might be super busy.</p>
<p>Anyone here double majoring with honors?</p>
<p>there's nothing that says joining the honors program means you HAVE to complete it. even if you don't complete it, as long as you're in it you get priority enrollment and other perks. also, you may stumble across some valuable classes that may not be found IN your majors, but will supplement them nonetheless (eg, HC 56 "language as a window to the mind" for a psychology major). </p>
<p>unless you'd rather pursue something else, like departmental honors or research or a job or some other time-intensive/class-intensive thing, i say give it a shot. if it doesn't work out, maybe you'll pick up some cool experiences along the way.</p>
