<p>You can apply to the honors college after the first semester. My Daughter did, and was admitted. They usually only take a few students midyear (less than 5). She did not apply to the honors college originally, since she decided on USC at the very last minute so it was well past the deadline for application. The bad news was that she got no scholarships, even though she was told she probably would have been a McNair. After her admittance to the honors college, she got a small honors college scharship and the reduced tuition (not in-state). The good news is that she is the the right school for her, and really enjoying it. If you think you might apply to the honors college for the second semester, try to get the approval to take at least one honors class that first semester. My D took and honors astronomy and lab class. That helped her not be as far behind on the honors classes once she was accepted.</p>
