<p>I am probably going to apply to Notre Dame early action, and I was exploring their website today and found out about their glynn honors program (or whatever it's called)...I was wondering what the requirements for that are and what the odds are that I would be accepted into it with a 4.0 gpa uw, 4.75 w, 1/91 rank, 34 ACT, and pretty good ecs/essay/recs...how difficult is it to get in? Also, if anyone has anymore info, what are the requirements for majoring? Can you double major? Is it mainly science oriented, or do you know whether I could double major English/music with a possible minor in liturgical music ministries through the program? I know I saw some girl on there with three majors in sciences...</p>
<p>I don't know much about that specific program but it looks like you should be competitive for it. ND is a very double (or triple) major friendly school so I bet you will be able to double in pretty much anything you want. I graduated with a double without any problem, and most people do double. good luck!</p>
<p>With your GPA/ACT, they will send you an invite. The Honors Program is open to both science and arts and letters students and its actually not very science-oriented at all, although you would have to take a couple more difficult science classes than you would otherwise as an English/music major. The Honors Program fits into your degree kind of like a minor/concentration (thats what it shows up as for me in InsideND). And it is definitely possible to double major. I'm in the honors program and I'm majoring in biochemisty and Chinese and I know a lot of other people who have multiple majors.</p>
<p>If you're a science major and that's all you like to do, I would recommend against it. The HP is really an arts and letters honors program that lets science kids participate. If you love humanities in addition to the sciences, it's a terrific program. If, like me, you loathe all non-quantitative subjects, then the HP would be a poor life decision. The only real benefit to science majors that I know of (and this is ultimately why I decided to participate) is the preferential treatment for independent research.</p>
<p>If you apply EA you will be invited to submit another essay for the Honors Program, assuming you are Arts or Science, there is a separate program for engineers. Fill that thing out, they like you, you probably get an invite to Reilly Weekend in March, which is just a free weekend at the school, and they give you some gear. You major in whatever you want (English/Music). However, your AP credits won't get you out of science or math requirements because HP students must take a full year of science, math and humanities. The down side is that if you don't like those things you won't get to start on your major as soon, the upside is that you get free pastries in the Honors Lounge, more research money, events for HP, your intro classes for anthro, philo, sociology, political science, or any other AL courses will be seminars instead of lecture halls, and people will think that you are smarter even if you aren't, which could be a good or bad thing depending on the situation. I don't particularly like the class requirements but I like hanging out in the lounge and there are some pretty cool people in the program, so overall it's a good thing.</p>
<p>Yeah there's definitely a good sense of localized community within the HP</p>
