<p>I was invited to apply for the honors program and am still wondering whether or not I should apply. What specific advantages does the honors program grant you?</p>
<p>bump~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>I'd apply, can't hurt, I think you get to take a few honors courses and have the chance to live w/ smarter people. And of course for grad school it looks better. Probably mostly its just a way of stelaing a few kids who would be otherwise Ivy bound.</p>
<p>wait how you find out honors? do you get asked after you pay your deposit? or?</p>
<p>they send an email about applying a few weeks after you get accepted</p>
<p>You can apply and then choose not to do it later....</p>
<p>As far as being an honors freshman goes... you take Great Books with all the other Honors freshmen, and I hear that's a good class. Then for your other classes, you'll take a regular class with an extra honors section later... or start off in the honors section... it varies but in general you get extra academic opportunities in the Honors program. Plus I think you get a special advisor and the option to live in South Quad with the other Honors kids? I definitely wanted to be in the Honors program at Michigan from the beginning. :-)</p>
