<p>I got asked to apply to Villanova's Honors program. Its a three page essay and a ton of paperwork. Does anyone know what the advantages are to the honors program? Should I even bother if they're closer to the bottom of my list?</p>
<p>I was under the impression that you don't apply for the honors program until you have submitted your registration deposit. So, no, don't do it unless you're planning on going there.</p>
<p>A select number of additional accepted Early Action Candidates will receive invitations to apply to the University Honors Program in late February; review of applications, and notification of candidates are completed by April 1.</p>
<p>Well I don't know if you're an EA applicant or not so that doesn't really mean anything to me. Sorry.</p>
<p>My D got an invite too. She is not sure she is going to V, but decided to complete the application and write the essay yesterday anyway, after looking at the honors website and learning more about the program.</p>
<p>do you have to be invited to submit an application to the honors program? i just found out that i was accepted to villanova last week, but i didnt get an invitiation, although i have the right scores to be considered a candidate.</p>
<p>My son was accepted EA and received an invitation for the honors program last week. It is due, not postmarked, by March 31st. He is not interested in applying.</p>
<p>I don't really see the point of Nova's honors program... just because someone did not apply early does not mean that they deserve any less "honors" (ok, i'm a tad bitter). this really leads me to think that it's just an unnecessary distinction that just might look nice on a job application.</p>
<p>I was under the impression that regular decision candidates who qualify can apply for the Honors Program in May. I don't think that it is limited to just the EA students.</p>
<p>VNovaMom, that was my impression too (which is why I said what I did earlier in this thread).</p>
<p>ok, i stand corrected- but still, from what i've heard honors programs are really only worth it in terms of the "perks" they provide, not the designation itself. does anyone know if nova offers any such perks? (i.e. early class registration, housing preference, etc.?)</p>
<p>Bump... does anyone know how incoming freshmen who were admitted RD can apply for the honors program? On Villanova's website, I can only find the form to apply for current students.</p>
