Agree no benefit to honors at Georgia Tech. It’s basically another LLC with no additional prestige, additional cost, and a headache getting some honors classes. The kids admitted to the honors college are no more elite or qualified than the general admits to Georgia Tech, and employers don’t care. This is why a lot of kids don’t apply. Very different under the hood than most honors programs. No priority registration which honestly is the biggest benefit it seems from most honors programs One benefit at Tech is there is a specific honor dorm, which this year was an apartment style, so that may be a perk for some students. This dorm could be a pro or a con, depending on child. My son would have ruled it out for that reason alone as he wanted to live on East campus. My current applicant has ruled it out as well for the same reason. Another benefit, which is true of the other LLCs, is that there is some additional programming which may help kids meet one another.
