Yes, both of my kids are applying. DD has 32 ACT w/ W GPA of 4.7 number 17 of 543; DD has 30 ACT w/W GPA of 4.6 number 24 of 543.

I asked because I graduated in engineering in the Stone Age and remember not enjoying the huge lectures in initial Physics and Chemistry. My feeling is Honors gives you a better feel and closer interaction with the Profs.

Are the Honors courses taught by a Prof and the recitation by a TA? Is the TA foreign and if so, does the TA speak good English? I remember taking Physics Recitation and the TA was Chinese and we could not understand him at all.

I graduated from ISU.
