Mt. Oread Scholars

<p>Does anyone have experience with this program? Any thoughts about how to make the most of it?</p>

<p>Um, I’m not personally in the Mt. Oread Scholars program, but the gist of it is that it’s a freshman program for good students that will help them enter the KU Honors Program at the end of their first year (or semester, I’m not exactly sure). There’s a lot of networking available, which will be really helpful for freshmen who don’t know exactly who’s out there, and are interested in meeting people in related (academic) programs. Also, I think they make an effort to help introduce students to available programs at KU, like helpful resources and stuff like that. Overall, I wouldn’t turn it down, if I was made an offer. It’d definitely be worthwhile. Also, FYI, offers go to top students who weren’t accepted initially into the KU Honors Program.</p>
