National Merit Finalists rejected from University of Florida?

@Notmail There has been a lot of discussion on these boards regarding the Honors application process and the quality of the program itself. It is my opinion that this is a big weakness for UF and needs to be rehauled. Anecdotal feedback from students in the program is that it is rather pointless and the main benefit is being able to register for classes earlier than their peers. I imagine that the student gets out of it what he/she puts into it, so opinions will vary.
