<p>So I have a few questions about the program. If any current students or anyone that knows about it could help?</p>

<p>1) Are there a lot of people in it/ is it recognized at all?
From the information I gleaned off their website, it doesn't seem much different than not being in honors.</p>

<p>2) Warren Writing 11 Series; is it any more interesting than the 10 series?
I suppose I may as well ask whether the grade distribution is different between 10 and 11, too.
And, I know some kids have difficulty getting into Writing 10 A and B when the want to, that the classes are sometimes full. Does the same go for the writing classes?</p>

<p>3) Warren Honors Housing. Okay, so I know you can choose to house with the other honors students. Are the dorms identical to any other dorms? (Probably). Are you any more or less likely to get a triple? (ick).
Any comments about the Honors Housing?</p>

<p>4) Other; are there any other comments about it? Benefits that are more than they'd appear? (I'm an incoming freshman CS major, if that makes a difference)</p>

<p>Bump
10 char</p>

<p>I’m also wondering about this, if anyone has an answer.</p>

<p>1) I dunno</p>

<p>2) Definitely take 11! It’s way, way better than 10.</p>

<p>3) The dorms are the same. It can be nice to live with other smart people.</p>

<p>4) Eh, a pointless organization in my opinion. They should let everyone enjoy the events, not just honors students.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I found out, the program starts out with about 50 kids (freshman) in it. It grows a bit, though, as kids get high enough GPA’s while at SD and get admitted into the program.</p>

<p>I’ve heard that only the top 2 or 3 kids get an A in the Warren 10 series.
Is this true for the 11 series, as well? Or do kids generally do better in Warren Writing 11?</p>

<p>What’s the difference between 10 and 11 series?</p>

<p>Much better grades are given out in WARR 11 (Almost everyone gets As and Bs). However, the caliber of students is also much higher. It’s a much better class than the 10 series - don’t let your fear of grades force you to miss out on a great class.</p>

<p>JTC591, the 11 series is taught by a real teacher (not a TA) and has guest lecturers on various topics. Unfortunately, you can only take it if you got a 700+ on your SATs and meet some GPA requirement.</p>

<p>Speaking of Warren Honors, today everyone in that group gets the chance to meet David Iglesias for an hour before he gives a speech tonight.</p>

10

<p>so wait…</p>

<p>if you are in warren honors, you take the warren 11 series of writing instead of the 10 series? or do you take both the 10 series and the 11 series?</p>

<p>Ogi</p>

11

<p>If you’re in honors you can apply for the 11 Series.
You have to submit a graded sample of your writing, though.
You should have gotten an email about that, if you qualify for honors.</p>

12

<p>I’m a transfer student, so for me to qualify for honors, I have to get a 3.7 or higher GPA for my first 12 units at UCSD … </p>

<p>ok, so looks like I have to do the 10 series regardless…</p>
