<p>on the website it says that if youre in the top 10% or scored 1280 or better on your sat you are automatically admitted into the journalism program. Does this mean they don't look at your writing score on the sat?</p>
<p>also can someone tell me about the campus life in missouri, weather, sports anything of that nature.</p>
<p>Honors program- top 10 percent and 1280. what does that mean what are the benefits of being in the honors program?</p>
<p>For the SAT, they just look at your math-verbal score...according to the website. </p>
<p>Weather--It is really nice in the spring and fall. Winters will be cold, and summers will be really warm.</p>
<p>Campus life--Basically middle-class Missourians, a lot of the students are from Kansas City and St.Louis. I have heard that Columbia is a great college town. </p>
<p>Sports--the football team one of their best seasons last fall, but the basketball team could do lots better. School spirit is big</p>
<p>-----Hope that this helped answer your questions.</p>
<p>Oh...about the honors college</p>
<p>"For students who want more ? intellectual challenge, academic opportunity and close interaction with professors ? the University of Missouri-Columbia offers the Honors College. </p>
<p>The most talented, accomplished and promising 15 percent of the University's undergraduates belong to this supportive community of scholars. </p>
<p>If you join them, you may enroll in honors classes, which are small, seminar-style courses led by some of Missouri's top professors. You may also engage in independent study or research, live in honors housing and earn an honors certificate. </p>
<h2>The Honors College is like a university within a university, complete with the benefits of a big school and the personal attention and stimulation of an elite academic environment."</h2>
<p>Basically smaller classes that are taught by great faculty members, and some classes with the universities best and brightest students are the benefits.</p>
<p>thanks that helps a lot</p>
<p>Sounds like you're pretty much guaranteed admission then? What if they have too many applicants?</p>
