<p>is it basically the same as A&S honors? top ______ of the application pool??</p>
<p>ps. i’m bummed that i didn’t get into carroll honors…can i still get in like next yr or something?</p>
<p>In terms of being the top x %, then yes, A&S and CSOM are both similar in that regard. After the first semester of freshman year, students can apply to be in the honors program. About 5 of those students who apply are ultimately accepted.</p>
<p>oooof…5? that’s like .1% lol.</p>
<p>It is true that the amount that ultimately get accepted is very small, but you also have to remember that not many students apply to the honors program. There are many requirements to even apply, including a high GPA. I would say only about 50 or so students actually attempt to apply for the honors program after the first semester of their sophomore year. </p>
<p>Getting rejected from the honors program isn’t the end of the world. You still have to recognize that BC is still a stellar school that harbors many great students from both the honors and non honors program.</p>
<p>Yes, it’s about top five percent of the applicant pool.</p>
<p>The top fifty or so CSOM non-honors students (first semester GPA) are invited to interview (two-rounds, in addition to an essay) for one of the four to six second semester HP admissions. Getting in is not about how smart you are, but how personable you are and how active you plan to be within the program. The second semester admits usually end up being officers within the program.</p>
