Honors College Nonsense

I think it is odd that the OP’s son did not get accepted in honors, especially as he’s a NMF. Somebody with his stats should definitely get in, even with an average essay (the fact he is a STEM student should be taken in consideration).

I had put University of Kentucky on the list where my junior hs student should apply next year. He is not a NMF and, although we haven’t gotten his ACT score back, probably won’t have as impressive stats as the OP’s son. I thought he would “try” for the Otis Singletary scholarship. Also from my research, I would be comfortable if he was in the honors college but I am not sure if I would be okay if he was not. From what is written on this thread, do you think it would be even worth spending the time and application fee for him to apply?
