<p>Much of the information provided by suhsirox is an accurate explanation of the honors programs (despite the fact that many of us STILL don’t understand the differences between the programs), but as an RJ Fellow, some of the info about that program is not 100% correct. I did not have to complete a separate essay application in order to be accepted into the program. Additionally, I do not think financial need was considered because I did not receive any need-based financial aid at all. Thirdly, the first group of RJs (the class of '06) had about 15 members, the class of '07 has about 11 members and I’m not sure if those numbers have increased for the underclassmen.</p>
<p>If you’re curious: the RJ program is supposed to be centered on the idea of “change” and both our Freshman seminar and our senior seminar focus on this topic. The symposiums that are held each year also stress this concepts. </p>
<p>It is possible that the application process has changed since my acceptance, but I thought I’d share that bit of input.</p>
