<p>Have either of you gotten an invitation in the mail to apply for the Honors College and/or are you statistically within the window where you would be expecting an invitation to apply?</p>
<p>I don’t know of any antedates of this relating to ED, however during RD students started receiving invitations to apply to Honors in late January/early February prior to being formally admitted to VT (not Honors) in mid-February. It was looked upon as a psydo-likely letter…no guarantees but a strong indication if you were being sent an invitation to honors. There were no reports of changes in the ‘guest access’ or applicant portal page, although that’s not to say it didn’t exist. My son wasn’t one to pour over every inch of those webpages looking for any sign of change, and I don’t remember anyone mentioning it here.</p>
<p>Bottom line…you’ve got 49 hours to make it official. I know it’s very, very hard. Hang in there!!! :)</p>
<p>edit to add…the other thing to note is if you have classmates that are also applying ED and are anxiously awaiting word on Wednesday afternoon, they may not have this distinction on their online portal but it may not mean they are not admitted, just as the distinction may not necessarily mean admitted. Until you see a big Congratulations on Wednesday I’d try not to over think this. By sharing this information publicly you could really cause some students to become upset or very anxious for no reason.</p>
