<p>If a person were to get accepted into multiple honors programs (Turing Scholars and Dean's Scholars), what would they then do?</p>
<p>Would one of the two need to be picked and the other not? The requirements of the two have tons of overlap, so I'm very unsure.</p>
<p>And if they cannot both be done, how would one go about picking?</p>
<p>Double majoring isn't uncommon at all. I suppose you'd just send back the enrollment letter for both schools.</p>
<p>As for picking one - didn't you choose one to be your top choice on apply texas?</p>
<p>The thing is, comp sci (Turing Scholars) is a major under the College of Natural Sciences. Seeing as there wouldn't be significantly varying differences in my graduation requirements as a comp sci major in Dean's versus Turing Scholars, it would seem awkward (and kind of wrong, as it takes a spot) to have both.</p>
<p>I'm thinking that Dean's Scholars has more benefits on top of the Turing Scholars ones (basically just honors classes and undergraduate research) without taking but 2-3 classes off the required CS honors classes, which I could still take in addition anyway. However, the computer science one has a computer science-specific research course versus a generic one, and more visibility to the industry.</p>
<p>I'd like to get this figured out and inform one of them I'm not interested in joining in order to open a slot for whoever else deserves it and would actually use it.</p>
<p>As far as a top choice - no, they're both the same major. My second choice was in the College of Engineering, for which I did not apply to an Honors program.</p>
<p>Crazy stuff.</p>
<p>I think I have read people on here saying that you can be in both Dean's and Turing but I didn't see this written down anywhere so I might be wrong. If you get accepted to both, ask Dean's scholars if it is okay for you to be a Turing scholar too. (I think you will hear an answer "Yes, every year, several students do that")</p>
<p>Dean's Scholars is great. If you are accepted to Dean's Scholars, congratulations.</p>
<p>I'll definitely give that a shot and see what happens.</p>
<p>Thank you MidwestMom! You're a great help to everyone on here. :)</p>
