<p>How many kids are in the honors college? It does not say on their website, or at least I can’t find it.</p>
<p>I think they said about 500 in each grade</p>
<p>Around 10% of each class.</p>
<p>wolverine is closer to the truth than sam. It’s been slightly below 10% the past two years because the incoming classes have been so large. I’m not sure if they will maintain the percentage or number for this year though.</p>
<p>I think in the letter it said one out of every 12 michigan students. So that would put this year’s figure at slightly under 500</p>
<p>From their website "And we don’t have hard-and-fast “cut-off” numbers for invitations to the Honors Program. " But I do remember hearing 10-15% sometime last year.</p>
<p>They told me 552 this year at my orientation session.</p>
<p>hehe…not to be nit-picky, but its the Honors program, not college.</p>
<p>Jazzman, was 552 the number accepted or the number enrolled? It just seems to me that 552 is high considering that just about all honors freshmen take Great Books I and I think the scheduling capacity for that class is only 450.</p>
<p>Chibears, remember that not all honors students take great books…roughly 15% of the RC freshman class is also honors ( roughly 40 people). We don’t take GB or Classic Civ…I imagine if there are other MLC’s that have alternate 1st year writing courses, that would explain the difference.</p>

<p>I guess I’m just used to seeing the 90% statistic for Great Books. It may be that its meant to read “90% of students choose Great Books, 10% choose Classic Civ” meaning only 90% of those who elect one of the two choose Great Books rather than meaning that 90% of all Honors students take Great Books, which wouldn’t work with 552 students.</p>
<p>im a high school junior, but im wondering how students are chosen for honors? does a student indicate that he would like to join on college app. or does the university decide based on student stats or other?</p>
<p>it sucks how non-honors students can’t take great books courses.</p>
<p>You can with permission. Beware, the books are good and the discussion can be, but the lectures are terrible.</p>
<p>Taekwondo - UM invites you to apply, based upon stats, I believe. Even if you have the stats, though, admission is not a guarantee - you have to submit a paper to get accepted. I know some of the parents were very fussy over this because at other schools, it is automatic.</p>
<p>I know some people who applied early and were automatically accepted. After enough time, they stop doing this and students have to make an effort to ask to be considered and apparently now one also has to write an essay.</p>
<p>Yeah my son applied to the wrong college (for a smart kid he can be dumb at times - I KNEW he was applying to wrong college but he wouldnt listen) - so when he got Ross Pre-admit, he had to switch to LSA which was where he should have gone in the first place.</p>
<p>but you can’t apply to ross PA w/o applying under LSA in the first place</p>
<p>He had been accepted into Kinesiology (he was looking for sports mgmt undergrad) - was invited to apply to Ross PA as long as he switched to LSA.</p>
