Sorry to chime in late - I will share our experience a couple of years ago. We went to the Honors admitted day instead of new dawgs day which was fine…but…
- Turns out there was a New Dawgs day the same day - check and see if that’s the case b/c then you can get the best of both
- The 2 programs were not in the least bit coordinated despite being held on the same day (they really should be coordinated)
- New dawgs day included info on where/when for dorm tours (besides Myers) that were open on a drop in basis all day - no one in the Honors session knew this but we spread the word once we discovered it
- New dawgs day has academic drop in sessions - you don’t really need to be signed up for most of them - just show up
- New dawgs day also had info on Freshco, dawg camp, double dawgs - again on a drop in basis
Bottom line - check the itin /info for new dawgs day and if it happens to be going on same day as honors, hop in on both!
The honors program was interesting for sure but not enough to fill a whole day. My dd attended a class as part of the honors day program and she really could have skipped that. Didn’t really matter to her.
