How does one get into the Honor's College?

<p>Just wondering for my D who is still waiting to hear on her L, S, & A app. She has an audition at the Music School in August and wants to dual enroll.</p>

<p>I'm wondering the same thing as well.</p>

<p>me too.........</p>

<p>What is the Honors College? Is it the same thing as the 'RC'? I saw something for the 'RC' on my application and I checked "yes" thinking that if I don't get into it, then I can still get into LSA.</p>

<p>Hi quiltguru,</p>

<p>The Honors College will send out an invitation after she receives her acceptance if they think that she has the stats (which are usually above a 1400 old SAT or a 30 or 32 ACT, which I think is the latter if the ACT is used, and a 3.8 Michigan GPA I think). However, if she doesn't receive a flat out invitation, she can petition for a spot in the Honors College. (If she petitions, that doesn't mean she'll get in though. They'll just re-review her application because when you apply to Michigan, you automatically apply to the Honors College as well.) </p>

<p>The Honors College is NOT the same thing as the RC.</p>

<p>I believe they call it the Honors Program as its not a separate college.
You're supposed to send an e-mail to some address I don't remember. Most people I know got an invitation to apply in the mail.</p>

<p>And you have to write an extra essay after you get accepted to regular LSA.</p>

<p>I got an invitation in the mail a week or two after I sent in my transcript/test scores/recs/etc.</p>

<p>I finished my online app about a month later.</p>

<p>Thanks. Sounds like with a 35 ACT and 3.9 UMich GPA she should have a chance, then.</p>

<p>The terms Honors Program and Honors College are used pretty interchangeably here. Just search the Michigan web site. You'll see the use of both terms.</p>

<p>Should I apply for RC? I'm not 100% sure of what it is, but I figured that I should at least try. To my understanding it sounds like a comprehensive program that focuses on the arts and sciences. If I get rejected from RC, does that mean I don't have a chance at LSA?</p>

<p>Check to see what it is before you decide whether or not to apply. When I personally looked into the details about it, I wasn't interested so I didn't apply for the program. However, others seem to love it so it really depends on who you are.</p>
