Back on topic and off dorms.

Scholars is a 2 yr citation upon completion at graduation. Honors is 4 yrs.

The thing is a Scholars candidate doesn’t have the option to upgrade to Honors. As stated not many will downgrade to Scholars. Typically if there is movement it would be to Gemstone.

If you recall on the application they asked if you wanted to play in groups. That was for Gemstone. If you said no, you will only have Honors and Scholars as an option.

If you said Yes, than you have all 3 on the table.

Our DS said No, and he got Scholars…OOS, 2190 SAT, 4.1 wgpa, NMSF, NYLC student, 2 time VA state TKD champ, Bronze medalist TKD Jr Olympics, Life Guard, and the traditional crap like NHS, FNHS, LNHS, APs, and Jump start.

He did govt, his back up was international relations (which is now his minor). As a soph., he worked on the Hill for a Sen., 20 hrs a week the entire semester.

The real issue is these majors belong to BOS, and at UMDCP they have the highest amount of students, but get the least amount of funding, this is why they did a sit out, ly or maybe it was 2 yrs ago, to protest the inequality of how the school was dispersing their funds.
