<p>Is anyone who's going interested in doing this? What's the upside? If it is more work then I only see a downside.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ve been wondering this too! I honestly don’t want to do a ton of extra work since there’s going to be so much reading. Is it really a big deal?</p>
<p>i want to do this but i was thinking about waiting to enroll until after my first quarter is completed. there is also departmental honors within each major… i don’t know how those two programs work together or if they do at all.</p>
<p>^Liz, you’ve decided to go to UCLA? Departmental Honors requires you to have a 3.5 GPA and to write a senior/honor thesis. This is what I am planning on doing as it will allow me to be recognized with “honors” during commencement and I already have a topic in mind. </p>
<p>@dezziner: I don’t know if it is a big deal or not. But I’m seeking to maximize the most from my undergraduate experience. </p>
<p>My concern is that the UCLA Honors Program is more workload but without the prestige of Regents. If that’s the case then I see no reason to pursue it.</p>
