<p>For the requirement of 6 honors courses, Enhancing Honors counts as 1 of these. Your honors seminar also counts as 1. That is an additional course NOT otherwise required that you have to do. Even though I came in with lots of IB/AP credit, I haven’t had a problem getting enough honors courses. For the most part, the honors sections are smaller, not harder. An exception I know of is CS (but I’ve actually got a lot out that honors class), and some science labs that require a little extra on lab reports. Being in honors also gives you the option to do a junior/senior honors project and guarantees you the Presidential Global Scholarship if you go on an international co-op (which is what I’ll be doing in the fall).</p>
<p>For housing, I requested a double but was given a single. I know someone else that happened to who then appealed and got put in a double, but that may just have been because her scholarship would only cover the cost of a double, not the extra for a single.</p>
