Students also can switch from honors to course at any time if they find that they don't like the honors format, or decide to switch majors at the last moment, or for any other reason.

The application to the honors program is not "competitive" (you don't compete with anyone for a spot, and the number of students doing honors varies between departments and from year to year).

Honors students get the preference in signing up for honors seminars. Some honors seminars are open only to honors students, others are open to everyone, but the honors students get to pick first. (Maybe that's the "preferential treatment" some of the students/ alums on this forum are complaining about.)
