I went to an “honors invitational” (I think it was called) back in the late 80s. Maybe this is the same thing? We just spent a few days hanging out in the dorms, meeting other students, and getting the honors program spiel. I saw quite of few of the participants when I moved into Lechner a year or two later.

I never thought much as to how participants were selected but I was NM commended. My sibling (a few years older) had not been invited when his year came around, in spite of rocking out over 100 points more on the SAT and having a higher GPA. So it makes sense it’s based on at least somewhat on NM information but I have no idea what else they look at/consider before extending invitations.
