I was accepted to UMich’s LSA and I’m not sure whether I should apply to the MLC’s Honors program. I have some questions, some of which are
- will I be taking classes with other non-Honors students as well as those in the Honors program?
- if I decide to not join this program, will it disadvantage me academically compare to those who do apply and get into it? (considering my work rate, class attendance etc. is more or less that of a standard student)
- how much commitment is required if I do join the program, e.g. am I obliged to attend certain classes and event?
- will joining the program have a significant impact on the amount of free time I have?
- will I still have a decent access to academic and other support (e.g. career guidance) if I don’t join the program?
- what percentage of undergrads apply and what percentage of applicants are admitted to this program?
- are the classes in the Honors Core subjects in the first two year compulsory (I suspect they are) and are they really broad in terms of the subjects area they take up, e.g. English, Natural Sciences etc.
As far as my outlook goes
- I don’t intend on going to grad school
- I will probably major in a economics/econmics-business related major
- I studied british a levels in high school and my grades are generally good
