<p>Could someone explain how to get into LSA Honors (application process, requirements, deadlines)? Their website is currently down, and I'm much too impatient to wait for it to come back on.</p>

<p>Please chance me as well:</p>

<p>Asian male coming from Michigan
High school is ranked 12th in the nation (matters?)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.85 Unweighted Cumulative
SAT: 2260 (760m / 760r / 740w); No SAT IIs
Class Rank: N/A</p>

<p>Courses:
*IB Diploma Candidate
Junior Year:
IB (English , French, Math SL, Physics, Economics, History)
Senior Year:
IB2 (English , French, Math SL, Physics, Economics, History)
All other classes are considered honors with the exception of a few (i.e. fitness, etc).
IB is a two year program, so I essentially take the same six classes both years.</p>

<p>Other significant (?) information:
Academic:
Goldman Sachs Economics Challenge State Finalist
Future Business Leaders - Vice President (treasurer last year)
National Honor Society Member
French Honor Society Member
National Merit Commended.</p>

<p>ExtraC:
Started an SAT/ACT class with a buddy over summer (does starting a small business mean much?)
Active tutor
Church small group leader
Plays regularly for recreational sports leagues (as I fail too hard to actually make an organized team)
Brush painting class (3 years)</p>

<p>I think you will be invited to the honors college. Once you get your letter of acceptance from LSA you will get a letter inviting you to write an essay to apply to the honors college. You write the essay, submit it by email, and then after a few weeks you get the decision. If for some reason you don’t get the letter of invitation, you can ask for the essay prompt by emailing the honors program director, and they send it to you. It is very much a numbers driven admission process, some students get an outright invitation, with no essay required, but the faster way to get in is usually by writing the essay.</p>

<p>^ so is there no extra application to the honors college… they just simply invite you if you have the stats (and if you’ve been accepted in the first place)?</p>

<p>Yes, that is correct.</p>
