Scholars...Help Me!

<p>Is there a chance that I can still receive scholarships even though I wasn't admitted into the honors program?</p>

<p>After the first two years of the scholars program do I become just like any other student, unlike the honor students who are 'special' trough-out?</p>

<p>Is the scholars program and less competitive program to get into than the honor program (I just want a straight forward answer!!!!! I am still in high school, these sort of things still matter to me)?</p>

<p>This program seems so random... how the poo did they decide that I would enjoy it?... kind of sucks that I don't have the option of doing a normal honors program (not that I necessarily want that, but I want the option)</p>

<p>I am so confused?!!?!?!</p>

<p>im pretty sure it goes something like gemstones/honors, honors, then scholars...</p>

<p>dont worry, im only in scholars like you. my friend told me that most people that go to CP from our school are in scholars...meaning its the easiest. sorry, dont know answers about the rest: special through thing....</p>

<p>Yes, scholars is less competitive. I have seen some people with seemingly lower stats in honors and people with higher stats in scholars. The averages are higher for honors though. </p>

<p>Honors sounds better, but honestly in my opinion, scholars is a better experience. I live in a building with 70 business scholars spread on two floors. That is the greatest thing in the world. Most of them are business majors and are taking the same classes. I have studied in groups of 10-15 people for tests for specific classes, and they all live in the building. You meet so many business majors, it is rediculous. Across the street, there is the life sciences floors in cumberland where many want to be doctors, the top two floors of cambridge are the SDU scholars and most are engineers, in Centerville the journalism scholars dorm together, the arts are in bel air, ect. You live with people that are interested in things that you are in. You meet people that can help you in your classes and see them in your classes and never have to sit in a class for your major with no one you have never seen before. The scholars program is more divided than honors. You are in your scholars group of 70 people. The art scholars don't really concern me at all. I feel like I am in a program with 70 people, not 1000(about all the scholars and the amount of honor students). I feel more like I have a place at the university. </p>

<p>Most of the school is not is scholars however, most are not in any program. There is an equal number of people in the honor and scholar programs and that takes up about 50% of the students in the class.</p>

<p>Yes, you do become a "normal" student after the two years in the scholars program unlike the scholars program. I don't know how the scholars program feels random though. I mean it is a pretty well recognized program on campus. I tell someone that I live in the cambridge community and they ask what scholars program are you in.</p>
