<p>My son (direct admit to j-school) hasn’t sent in his honors college essay/application yet. He has to write an essay because he is just below the top 10% of his class, though his SAT scores are fine for honors. Does anyone know if the honors college has a cutoff on the number of students they accept? I had vowed to stop nagging–a strategy that has worked pretty well so far!–but maybe I should start issuing some gentle reminders to get it done. The journalism scholars program, the special-interest dorms, etc., sound great.</p>
<p>Question #2: Has anyone had experience with scholarships for freshmen that are awarded by the journalism school? He applied, but I’m just wondering what types of scholarships they offer, since they’re vague about it on the web site (they say there’s more than $200,000 available to incoming freshmen).</p>
