<p>I waited to apply to the honors program until I heard back about Ross Preferred. Found out today that I got into RP. if you're in RP can you also be in the honors program? If so, is it worth it, or is RP everything the honors program is plus more? If you get in RP, do you automatically get into the honors program by any chance? I called admissions but no one picked up because they're closed for the day already. Anyone have any insight?</p>
<p>I’m in the same predicament, so I’d love to have the answer to these questions too.</p>
<p>I know for a fact that you’re not automatically admitted to honors. I’m also pretty sure that LSA Honors is a relatively new program and less recognized, so if you had to choose between Ross and Honors, definitely go for Ross (unless you’re unsure about business). Dunno about the rest.</p>
<p>If you get into Ross Preferred, you do not automatically get into the honors program. Ross preferred isn’t really like the honors program–it’s not an honors track, it just lets you know that you’ll be getting into Ross as a sophomore so you don’t have to apply when you get to Mich/worry about getting in. Once you get to sophomore year, it doesn’t matter PA vs regular Ross students; everyone’s a first year Ross student. Also, Ross has a joint, 5 year program with the LSA honors program. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>@interfc1 Thanks! So how does one go about applying to specifically that 5 year joint program?</p>
<p>I think if you wanted to be in both LSA honors and Ross, you would get into honors, go to Mich, be in honors for your first year, and during that first year get it all figured out. I don’t think you apply for the joint 5 year program as a high schooler.</p>
<p>LSA honors is not a new program. It has been around for decades. You can be in honors for freshman year but you cease to be in honors once you enter Ross. You do not automatically get into honors unless you are invited to join - otherwise you need to apply. It is worth it if you are interested in the program; it is probably not worth it if you are only looking at it as a so-called “investment”.</p>
