<p>And only because its not worth starting a new thread... one of my good friends won one of the full rid cincinnatus scholarships. He got into the honors program too, lol.</p>
<p>does anyone know what sort of criteria they use to give out cincinnatus scholarships?</p>
<p>I got a 1460 sat ( on the old 1600 scale) and 31 act, my gpa was 3.7 and all i got was the minimum 2000 for instate tuition... what gives?</p>
<p>Rebeccalive, as far as I know, no one was informed about their Cincinnatus results. Thus, I don't know how you found out so quickly.</p>
<p>Also, what college and major did you apply for?</p>
<p>I got a letter in the mail on friday. College of Nursing, Pre-nursing major</p>
<p>Also, I decided not to apply for the honors program. I guess I just dont see enough of a return on that investment, for the field I am going into. I dont think Ill have a hard time getting a job, and I just dont know if taking honors classes is worth the extra effort. That sure sounds lazy, but I am married and living on my own and I guess I have those things going on besides school. I hope I'm not making a bad choice. The Director of Recruitment at the College of Nursing kind of agreed with me, that it wouldnt really make too much of a difference in the job field. If they gave out extra money for being in honors, I think I would have tried.</p>
<p>Rebeccalive, getting into honors isn't for job contacts. It guarantees first dibs on courses,which is the best reason. It also allows access to honor's dorms and equipment, such as computers, in honor's dorms.</p>
<p>Maybe for nursing, it wouldn't be that beneficial. For design, it would be a nice addition.</p>
<p>s got accepted into honors program initially for the dorm dibs but is excited about the preferential access to other university amenities.</p>
<p>Taxguy, has your d decided to attend UC? been away for awhile and recall she was considering several other programs. cmu? gl</p>
<p>Hardknox, my daughter just got into honors. She hasn't formulated any final decision yet since she is awaiting decisions from CMU and RISD. However, she is leaning towards Cincinnati. The only think that bothered her and bothered us was the lack of any portfolio requirement.She is a good, well-trained artist (for a high school student)from a humanities magnet program and doesn't want to be with a lot of beginners.</p>
<p>gl to her and hope she gets everything she wants. I wouldn't get to wrapped around the axle about the portfolio concern or "beginners". I used to think the same thing until looking at the programs curriculum, meeting with the Dean, examining the retention and graduation rates, and discussing the issue with program graduates....bottom line for us is that the outstanding faculty (4 of top 25 nationwide as you pointed out elsewhere) are very successfull at drawing out the creativity of these kids and that their artistic prowess will be realized and demonstrated in many different ways. Your d will have ample opportunity to display her talents and will be challenged to do so, imho.</p>
<p>What will be your son's proposed major Hardknox?</p>
<p>DAAP, Ind. Design</p>
<p>I thought that my S was not going to get into the Honors College but he received his acceptance today.</p>
<p>College of Engineering
3.4 GPA
31 ACT</p>
<p>He had decided not to go to UC after the Cincinnatus competition but maybe with the Honors college he might reconsider.</p>
<p>Is the connections program (8 year Bs/MD) a good choice?</p>
<p>well it pretty much guarantees admission as long as a minimum GPA and MCATs are achieved, which are substantially less than normal med school requirements. Also, Cincinnati has a very good medical school.</p>
<p>Yeah but would you reccommend the program over a four year degree at vanderbilt</p>
<p>I am not familiar with the Vanderbilt program to comment. However, I would bet that the Cincinnati program is a LOT less expensive per year. It also has a very well-regarded medical school.</p>
<p>Also, geting into med school is a crap shoot anywhere. You might have a better shot at Cincinnati since it isn't as well-known a program as some others.</p>
<p>Well I am already commited to attend the University of Cincinnati and have been accepted in the Connections program. Thanks for your insight</p>
<p>S is admitted into the Honors College; going to DAAP for industrial design; 3.9 unweighted, 5.5 weighted; 2040 SAT; chose a DAAP floor instead of an honors floor for the dorms</p>
