<p>I know of a few students who got into the honors program after one semester at AU this year. It is certainly not over if you don’t get in out of high school. The reason that AU doesn’t look at anything else besides scores and GPA is because now they can wow people with averages like a 1440 and a 3.9 in admissions guides. </p>
<p>It is certainly true that there is a substantial difference in student quality from from the regular courses compared to the honors courses at AU.</p>
