<p>^Excellent advice. </p>
<p>At FSU you have multiple opportunities that can make a huge difference:
Honors [fsu.edu</a> | Honors Program](<a href=“http://www.fsu.edu/~honors/]fsu.edu”>University Honors Program)
Honors in the major [fsu.edu</a> | About the Honors in the Major Program](<a href=“http://honorsinthemajor.fsu.edu/]fsu.edu”>http://honorsinthemajor.fsu.edu/)
Individual research as an undergraduate [fsu.edu</a> | Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors](<a href=“http://undergradresearch.fsu.edu/]fsu.edu”>http://undergradresearch.fsu.edu/)
Honors medical and legal early entry program [fsu.edu</a> | Honors Medical and Legal Scholars Programs](<a href=“http://honors.fsu.edu/medical_legal.html]fsu.edu”>http://honors.fsu.edu/medical_legal.html)</p>
<p>Some years ago we had a speaker at a high school discussing what it took to gain admittance to Harvard. He said one word - passion.</p>
<p>Passion, enthusiasm, discipline, tolerance for frustration, an unquenchable thirst for knowledge…whatever the descriptive term is what it takes to gain such goals.</p>
<p>If qualifying for the Honors program as a freshman did not happen, there are other ways to gain entry to Honors [fsu.edu</a> | Admission](<a href=“http://honors.fsu.edu/admissions.html]fsu.edu”>http://honors.fsu.edu/admissions.html)</p>
