Women's Leadership Program vs. University Honors Program

Colleges and Universities A-Z George Washington University

I have been trying to find more information about the two programs, but have not found much. It seems on the CA you have to pick one to apply to and cannot apply to both. I know that you cannot participate in both, but I would hate to apply to one and not get in and think that I may have got into the other one. Is the Honors program for students who are academically stronger? Since WLP is a one year program do many of the participants apply to the Honors program their sophomore year? Is it better to just participate in Honors starting freshman year and forget about WLP? Which one is harder to get into? Does anyone know how to apply to both?

Any information anyone has would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

If you don’t get any help in here I highly recommend you contact the WLP program directly and share your concerns. I’m sure they’d love to help!

Probably already made a decision, but I would definitely recommend the WLP. Having to live on the vern is extremely annoying and the long thursday classes are too, but you make a lot of connections and a lot of the girls in the program end up being leaders in most prominent student orgs during their 4 years.
