<p>Who else is in the honors program? I was wondering if being in honors gives us priority when it comes to picking dorms or not. and which do you think are the best</p>
<p>Here’s an article about the honors program at UCSB: [Gaucho</a> Insider | The UCSB honors program](<a href=“http://gauchoinsider.com/articles/56]Gaucho”>http://gauchoinsider.com/articles/56)</p>
<p>You do not get dorm priority, but you get class registration priority, which is fantastic.</p>
<p>although u don’t get dorm priority, there is scholars communities, the honor students living learning communities.</p>
<p>I’m hoping to get into the honors program after the first quarter. Would this be hard to do in an engineering major? I know you need a 3.5 +…</p>
<p>^ I thought if you weren’t invited you had to wait till sophmore year with a GPA of 3.5 o.o</p>
<p>nah you have to have at least a 3.5 after taking at least 12 units of graded uc work. so technically you could be in after fssp if you take that many classes</p>
<p>you can also be accepted into the honors program due to your strength of classes/grades/class ranking in high school. the other option is to take 12units and maintain a OVERALL 3.5 gpa not just a 3.5 after one quarter</p>
