Does anyone know if the honors college weekends fill up. Also how many students are a part of the honors program?
I heard that about 15% of the class is honors. I don’t know if that’s the final number since many kids don’t reach the GPA min for sophomore year. But it’s around 15%.It’s getting more competitive as the application pool increases and attracts more academic students. The current sophomore class was the most academic high performing until this year’s first year class surpassed it. Now I’m hearing that the current applicants (Class of 23) is even surpassing 2022. That’s why some stellar students are being deferred. And we know that many schools do a “wholistic” approach to a student’s application review. What we may not see is that 1200 SAT, 3.5 student is a brilliant poet (who doesn’t do well in science) or a robotics champion (who has lower grades in history) or doesn’t test well, etc. There’s far more to each indiv student and admissions officers see unique traits that stand out and bring something valuable to the school.
I don’t know if Honors Weekends fills up, but I’d register. My hub said there were thousands of students visiting the weekend they went last spring. It was both Honors and admitted studs. Be sure to explore the city for dinner. Great restaurants and music.It was as much a sell for my D as the school.
