<p>Anyone in it? I just got in, just curious if anyone knows about it. I’m obviuosly accepting the offer, just looking for more tips, info, etc about the program. :)</p>

<p>i just got in too, is this more selective than the college of business honors program?</p>

3

<p>It is the most selective honors program. It admits about 125 students of the incoming class, which is about less than 2% admission rate. I believe that once you are in the program, you have to take at least four campus honors program classes before you graduate, which could be a pain in the butt if your schedule is pretty tight.</p>

<p>Can those who got the honors program please post your stats?
Thanks</p>
