DS is finishing his Jr in HS and will start the college application in a few months. OSU Honor is definitely one of his top focus. We are attending a reception tonight to learn more about Honors program. I am doing some preparation so I know what questions to ask.

I have read over the web pages on Honors but I am not finding all the numbers.

What is the total number of honor student per year? Is that around 1500?
What is the 3 year and 4 year graduation rates? Since most of honor students come in with 10 ~15 AP and they could take higher level courses directly, I would assume one should be able to complete the 190 or so credits in about 3 years.
If there are 1500 honors students and each honor course is capped at 25 student, is it very likely that a student fails to get the class he/she wants to take?
Per the honor web site, each honor student is encouraged/required to take 1 ~ 2 honor classes per quarter. What about the other 3 ~ 4 classes?
What is the % of honor students get the chance to do study abroad?


Thank you.
