<p>Uh, actually I’m an honors mentor. I specifically asked the Honors Director if the percentage had increased, seeing as the program exploded in size. I’m also a tour guide and asked the admissions officers.</p>
<p>Both very clearly stated that the percentage was still 10% of applicants. However they did a lot of promotion last year, and we jumped up in ratings again (and the new dorm, I suspect), so a lot more people who had been given honors offers decided to go to Northeastern. That’s why the program jumped to 540-ish. It is NOT 15% now.</p>
