<p>Hello, I'm interested in applying to UF.
What are the requirements for the honors program, is it big of a difference?</p>
<p>4.0 weighted HS GPA (by UF's calculation) and 1400+ on the SAT</p>
<p>Or a 33 on the ACT.</p>
<p>If you meet the requirements, you get a package inviting you to the honors program with your admission package. You then have to fill out something online that looks like an application, but that from what I know is just a formality to make sure you are interested.</p>
<p>What do you mean "is it big of a difference?"</p>
<p>You can find all the information in UF's website. Even general college fact finding requires a little bit of homework.</p>
<p>Like the difference between an honors UF student and a non-honors. Do you a lot of advantages if you're an honors student?</p>
<p>yeah there's quite a few advantages. for example, you get to live in the nicest dorm, you get to take some more interesting and smaller classes, you get earlier registration, you get more one-on-one interaction with special counselors, etc. plus, it's prestigious once you're a graduate.</p>
<p>The honors program is pretty pointless. I'm about to graduate, and the honors degree doesn't mean anything. It'll be more important your first two years, but when you are on your way out, you'll forget you were even in it.</p>
<p>Having the honor's degree doesn't look that much better. Don't get confused with "graduating with honors," because thats different. You get an Associate Degree from the Honors College.</p>
<p>The perks are hume hall (which now I'm pretty sure you don't have to be in honors to live there), and you get to take some cooler classes (but if you are persistant, you can get in them without being honors). It might mean more if you are doing a humanities degree, but it'll mean very litttle if you are doing math/science in the long run.</p>
