<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Just a couple of questions. Any answers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>1) I noticed the University Scholars Program offers advanced registration. Does this somewhat negate the complaints some people have about getting required classes?
2) It supposedly also allows you to take honors sections of intro classes. What does this mean? Smaller sections?
2.5) How are class sizes in the later years?
3) Is it possible to finish a bachelor's degree within three years? How is graduate school placement for engineering? Job placement? Any comments on the engineering department as a whole? Specifically electrical and bioengineering.
4) Are all freshmen going to be tripled no matter what pretty much?</p>
<p>Thanks again for any help!</p>
<p>1) Absolutely, yes. Our Scholars say that the priority registration alone is worth it.
2) Depending on the course, yes… such as honors chem or honors calc.
2.5) That really depends on your major.
3) Possible? Yes. Again, though, it depends on your major. If you’re thinking Engineering, it’s virtually impossible to do in three years, because there are too many credits you have to take.
4) Probably, yes, but we won’t know that until all the housing deposits are in.</p>

<p>Thanks for your response! Do you happen to know anything about engineering placement - specifically electrical engineering - after graduation?</p>
<p>Also, is there any opportunity to pursue industrial design through cross-enrollment or something of the sort?</p>
<p>Specifically, I’m not sure. You’d want to contact the department; they can probably give you more info on both of those questions.</p>

<p>Is the University Scholars Program only one year? Someone in admissions told me that today…</p>
<p>How hard is it to transfer into the Honors College?</p>
<p>The “program” is mostly a first-year program, but there are options to continue working with the program. All of the perks, like priority registration, follow you all four years.</p>
<p>HC rarely takes second-year students; you’d have to double up on the seminars, and you’ve already probably taken some DECs, so there’s not much benefit after the first year.</p>
<p>Chris</p>
<p>is there nay way to take the seminars regardless of wether or not youve been accepted?</p>
<p>No. The courses are only open to Honors College students.</p>
