This will change for students in Honors programs, though. Many of their gen ed requirements will be filled with <20 student seminars rather than the typical lecture hall gen ed classes.

Yep, I totally agree, which is why I started looking at the honors college info for the schools with the highest percentage of classes over 50, because generally the big classes are the classes that are most likely to have smaller honors classes that can sub in for those. As you mentioned, not all honors programs/colleges are the same, so it’s important to learn more about each one. But knowing more about how competitive it is to get into honors can be an important factor when crafting a college list. For instance, someone who would only want to attend UT if they got into Plan II would know that it needs to go into the reach (or high reach) category, whereas there are other schools where a student knows their odds for admission to honors are much higher.
