Scholars Decision

<p>Is anyone else having problems deciding between Health Scholars and Biological Sciences? I’m curious to see what other people may think, because I’m completely torn between the two</p>

<p>HSS has the nice housing, and seems morelaid back, but Bio has some awesome research opportunities.</p>

<p>I was, but I chose health. I know that my focus is in the health field, so choosing health made more sense for me. If you don’t know specifically what you want to focus on, it is a hard choice!</p>

<p>Does anyone know the likelihood that you receive your first preference, specifically a high demand one like Health Sciences? Also when do notifications of actual acceptance into your preferred preference go out? </p>

<p>"Students will be notified of their individual Scholars program placement by early April 2014. "</p>

<p>The likelihood of getting onto health or bioscience is apparently somewhat small. At scholars day the health science advisor told us she expects 800+ applications and will accept no more than 150</p>

<p>We heard the same thing during the recent Bio Sci presentation during SD at OSU. Many applications and few slots. So it looks like 2nd or 3rd choice are more realistic. </p>

<p>Does anyone know how competitive it is to get in Humanitarian Engineering?</p>
