<p>Is it worth applying to LSA honors if i want to apply to Ross during my freshman year?</p>
<p>As an Honors sophomore, and as someone who has seen many of his honors friends apply and be accepted to Ross, what I’ve seen is that even one years of honors is worth it. Great Books will make you a better writer and thinker. And far beyond that, living with other honors students is a blast; you’ll become friends, most likely, with everyone in your hall. As much as the classes, opened doorways, and prestige make honors worthwhile, the people are the biggest incentive by far.</p>
<p>Do it for the housing.</p>

<p>It’s really not that different than normal LSA, dude.</p>
<p>But it’s worth it for the housing alone.</p>
<p>I am simply relaying my experience and the experience of my liberal arts honors friends. I will acknowledge that my natural science major friends found less value in the program overall, probably as a result of a ‘bad start’ with Great Books or simply because they weren’t focusing on literary analysis, philosophy, or political science. Overall, I found that honors classes in particular brought my writing and critical analysis skills to a new level that eases success in higher level non-honors LSA classes.</p>
<p>L, S, and play haha.</p>
<p>Why does everyone hate on LSA? I see nothing wrong with majoring in an academic subject.</p>
<p>^There isn’t. It’s just that a lot of the majors are easier than most of the engineering majors. Engineers like boasting about how hard their classes are (not that they’re that bad either, though).</p>
<p>It’s worth it for the housing alone, really. Also, it’ll look good on apps for grad school if you’re planning on doing that.</p>
<p>Plus, if you don’t get into Ross, it’ll improve your LSA experience.</p>
<p>I heard that the Honors program is looked at very favorably for grad and med schools.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard back from honors yet?</p>
<p>Still waiting on Honors notification. Frustrating as other universitities let you know right away!!</p>
<p>What about transfer students. I was told about an Honors Concentration. I planned on double majoring in Financial Mathematics and Economics, but am now looking into Honors to see if it is worth it. I believe there is only a math honors program and no econ honors program?
Will a transfer student be accepted and will classes double count just as well as with the Financial Math and Econ does?</p>
<p>sorry for double-posting but i wanted to say housing won’t make a difference in my decision because i already have a house on State Street for next year.</p>
<p>Go to the Economics website, and you’ll see that there is an honors program. Like all honors programs at LSA, it’s primarily about writing a senior thesis.</p>
<p>My S has been accepted into the honors program, so they are releasing decisions. His invitation came from honors a few weeks after he got his decision in december. his acceptance to honors came a few weeks after he submitted his application.</p>
<p>Has anyone received decisions within like the past week or two for Lsa honors?</p>
<p>^ No-not in the last couple of weeks. My D sent in her essay on Feb 26 and has not heard back yet. goblue, when did you send in your essay?</p>
<p>I turned mine in on the 22nd of february</p>
<p>I sent in my application January 20-ish and i still have not heard back from them. I know for a fact that they received it (I emailed them). Is this bad?</p>
