<p>In an e-mail they sent me, they told me they would begin making decisions starting in January and continuing throughout the spring semester, but does anyone remember roughly around when they heard back? And what were your stats(gpa, class rank, sat scores, etc)? I'm just trying to get a feel for what you need to qualify. My class rank is 2/826, 2040 on sat(700 math, 670 CR), taken 7 ap classes and am taking 7 this year as well. Do you think I have a good chance?</p>
<p>You should get in no problem, I got in as 1/504, 2090 SAT, with several APs too. I don’t think I heard until pretty late. There aren’t any real benefits to being in it though, other than housing.</p>
<p>No real benefits? Hmm… So I’m guessing you’re in the Eng Honors program? Can you tell me about it?</p>
<p>Yep I’m in Engineering Honors for EE. Here’s absolutely every benefit I’ve gotten out of it first semester.</p>
<ul>
<li>Allowed to take honors math courses – harder, harsher curve, mostly filled with arrogant teens</li>
<li>1 ice cream social – filled with anti-social male engineers and maybe 10 girls</li>
<li>Opportunity to live in honors housing. This is probably the best that’s come out of being in honors so far, although some may prefer a more social dorm. I know for my floor at least, things were pretty quiet most of the time. </li>
</ul>
<p>I’m sure there’s other things being in the program offers, but I haven’t seen anything as of yet. It doesn’t hurt being in it, but don’t be distraught if you somehow don’t make it in.</p>
<p>Huh, they’ve added the ice cream social since I was in engineering honors! It’s too bad they haven’t done more with the program.</p>
<p>I agree with the tougher math and science courses. What was I THINKING, taking honors physics?!? Ack. It was a nightmare.</p>
<p>Hmm, actually doesn’t sound all that great, since I’m already in Plan II so the access to honors housing actually isn’t that great. But you’re in EE - can I refer you over to my thread?

I’ve got some questions there about engineering, specifically EE or CE.</p>
<p>Got acceptance to EHP yesterday. 5/637 2200 SAT 35 ACT. Do I want to be in the honors dorms? I’ve read horror stories about most of the dorms but I figure it’s all part of the freshman experience. What kind of student lives in each of the dorms?</p>
<p>How did you get notified? Email or regular mail?</p>
<p>regular mail today. I called earlier in the week and they said this year they’ve already sent out all ehp notifications and the sending date was tuesday feb 22</p>
<p>I received my acceptance through mail yesterday. GPA-3.91 UW, SAT-2380, goes to math and science oriented school</p>
<p>@SATdestroyer,
You probably know my D, she attends the same school as you. She got in ChE and invited to Honor as well.</p>
<p>@Ciclidfish, that’s great! I probably wouldn’t have considered engineering at all if I didn’t go here :)</p>
