I just went to look at my daughter’s schedule. She is an incoming freshman in Honors Engineering. She is taking Calculus 1 and Fundamentals of Engineering Honors Physics. Her Calculus class is big. Lecture has 264 but Recitation is 33. Her FEH Physics class is Physics 1260 (Mechanics, Thermal Physics and Waves) has 75 in Lecture, 25 in Lab and 25 in Recitation. She is not taking Chemistry as her field of engineering doesn’t require it. (Hope this part helps, physics is foreign language to me). I think, if I remember correctly from orientation, you can opt out of the fundamentals of honors courses and just take the beginning/basic ones but still be in Honors.

As far as her acceptance. She graduated 5th in her class with a weighted GPA of 4.1. Her ACT was 27. She was accepted to Ohio State on the first wave in November and accepted into Honors sometime in March of this year.

Hope this helps some. Are you applying to Ohio State this fall?
