Both the Honors College and FDDS are very competitive programs/scholarships. I don’t know your stats, but please know that it’s kind of like getting into an Ivy in terms of the acceptance rate. Most of the applicants will fall in the accepted range of stats and then AU will fill the spots to make a group of diverse individuals. There are 25 students accepted into the Honors Program and 5 of them are FDDS. Many applicants to the honors program are offered spots in AU Scholars or Community-Based Research Scholars. So apply and hope for the best, but know that many qualified applicants are not offered spots in the Honor’s Program. I think the essays are very important, so make sure to focus your effort on those.
