<p>Hi, I was wondering if they were still sending out notifications for people who got into honors, or if by this time, the fact that I haven't received anything about honors program means I didnt get in. </p>
<p>I think my stats match up pretty well and I've gotten into the honors program at schools of similar caliber, so I'm just curious.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>My son got into the University of Pittsburgh’s Honor College but didn’t get a sniff from UNC. NC State invited him to apply but rejected him even tough he scored 1400 on the SATs.</p>
<p>i wish i could get the honors title, but then I think it’s all about putting the cherry on top of a flambet dish. The requirements alone will bother me if I am admitted, and I predict that in the future I would eventually drop out.<br>
Just realize that there are other ways to getting an honor’s title than just being in the program. Sure it has its perks, but those perks are accessible by almost everyone capable enough at UNC who didn’t get into Honors out of sheer chance.</p>
<p>@SanfordDad not trying to be rude but I dont think Pitt Honors is comparable to UNC
My friend was accepted to Cooper Union but rejected from UNC.</p>
<p>Not trying to say my son should have been invited to the Honors College at UNC. Pitt is an AAU school and has been very agressive in trying to lure my son to Pittsburgh. I realize it isn’t on UNC’s level. Pitt is above NC State on the food chain. What bothered me a little was my son not getting invited for Honors College at NC State. If State wants to attract high achieving kids that major in fields other than engineering, they need to be more agressive and offer Honors College to anyone with an SAT score of 1400 or higher.</p>
<p>At the risk of sounding clueless, is UNC-Chapel Hill a good choice over Harvard?or Princeton? My son was accepted, but not sure where to go…he received a lot of great offers…I think it will be hard to choose one…</p>
<p>

<p>I’m sorry, Mr. ■■■■■, but if you are advanced enough the college game to post on CC you clearly know or ought to know the differences between UNC and Harvard/Princeton.</p>
<p>UNC-CH honors vs UF Honors?</p>
<p>Trying to decide btw these two…undecided science major…neurobiology…maybe science math teacher
Any advice…opinions?</p>
<p>UNC Honors College is better I’d think</p>
<p>Overall, Chapel Hill is a better school. But since you know your general area of study at least, compare the departments. I personally can’t comment on either science dept, but if either one is significantly better, I would say to go with that one.</p>
<p>There isn’t much to UNC Honors. It’s silly to let it affect what school you choose–either by choosing UNC because you got it or not choosing UNC because you didn’t.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Just to let you know, UNC does not have a neuroscience major…</p>
<p>I received an invite to be a First Year Fellow in the Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence. What does that mean? Does this mean I am in the honors program?</p>
<p>It doesn’t have neuroscience but it does have a cognitive neuroscience (or it’s called something like that) major which I wish I’d had a chance to look into before it was too late.</p>
<p>That said you can major in psych and work in a lab that focuses on neuroscience. Or take neuroscience courses in the bio department. That course is supposedly ridiculously hard but also incredibly interesting. Wish I had had time to take it!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The Cognitive Science minor isn’t really a neuroscience course of study…it seems to go for more breadth than depth, and you only have to take one course that focuses on the biological origins of cognition to complete the minor. OP, I can PM you details if you want.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is what I do. <em>thumbs up</em></p>
<p>Thanks…I am interested in cognitive neuroscience…love phych…please tell me more about the courses and the lab.</p>
