<p>I just got a letter saying that I was accepted to UC's honors program! Anyone know anything about it? All the pamphet said was that <10% of admitted students make it, and that it generally involves some different classes and creative projects...</p>
<p>Kalonity, congrats on geting into Honors. There are a number of advantages of honors:</p>
<p>1.You can live in special honors dorms and meet honors kids,which I highly recommend.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>You get first dibs on classes,which can be a big deal.</p></li>
<li><p>You graduate with HONORS noted on your certificate and transcripts,which doesn't hurt.</p></li>
<li><p>Honors special sections.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Also it isn't hard to stay in honors. There is no research project. </p>
<p>There are three categories of Honors: Low honors,which mearly requires you to take 24 credits of honors.</p>
<p>and Honors,which requires more honors credits ( 36credits I think) and 9 of these credits must be in special honors seminers. Frankly, I think lower honors is good enough.</p>
<p>There is also High Honors,which has same requirements as Honors EXCEPT that you maintained a 3.75 or better.</p>
<p>For a lot more information than I know, go to: University</a> Honors Program</p>
<p>particularly go to this thread for graduation requirements: University</a> Honors Program</p>
<p>thanks for the info :)</p>
