I can give a few approximate answers.


D’s freshmen group had ~1300 Honors students. About 1/3 were engineering. The rest were spread out from architecture to zoology. Every major has differing requirements. GECs have a wide range to choose from.
Very few kids try to graduate in 3 years even with advanced credits. They would be more likely to pick up a minor or 2nd minor during their 4 years.
Scheduling is tricky at every school. Who wants an 8am or even 9am class? Being in Honors does give the kids a big advantage over non-Honors students.
D has taken a few non-Honors classes. Mainly things she had to take for her major. When you get into the higher level classes for any major, there are very few honors sections because no one is in those classes except for the majors.
ANYONE who can come up the cost can study abroad. The opportunities are mind boggling.
