<p>The Undergraduate Research Opportunity (UROP) and Michigan Research Community (MRC) are non-selective research programs designed to provide all entering Freshmen at Michigan with research experience, usually on one-on-one basis with established faculty. Most enrolling freshmen who request research opportunities get placed.</p>

<p>If honors means that much to you, and you are certain that you intend on majoring in Computer Science, you can always apply to the school of LSA. They offer a BS in CS, and as part of the school of LSA, you will be considered for the honors program. This said, there are no guarantees at Michigan. Only 40%-50% of admitted students with ACT scores over 32 are admitted into the honors program. There is no risk to you going that route mind you, as switching from LSA to the CoE is very easy. Also, should you wish to double major, (say CS and Economics or CS and Mechanical Engineering), it is certainly possible, even if those two majors should be CS Honors in the school of LSA and Mechanical Engineering in the CoE, although that combination may take an extra semester to complete.</p>
