Honors Admission Notification?

Just hypothesizing here, but the description of the honors program makes it sound resource intensive (separate advisors, option of special housing, …). There probably is just a maximum number of students that can be enrolled from the incoming freshman class each year, and they have to cap it somehow. Grades/test scores make you eligible; essays and extracurriculars are used to pare down the number? Just indicates the strength of the top students going to VT (and the relatively small number of slots available to incoming freshmen in Honors).
