I know moey is trying to be nice, but it doesn’t really make sense that they would purposefully not offer it to someone “over qualified” (whatever that means). The truth is that students are chosen for chp holistically. In other words, selection is based on the overall impression that your application gave. Perhaps something rubbed them the wrong way. Who knows?

Anyway, good luck. I’m sure you’ll have a lot of other really great choices. I hope you’ll still consider uci- it’s an underrated school in my opinion.

imo, honors is amazing. You get priority enrollment, four years of guaranteed housing, graduate student library borrowing privileges, respect from professors, a great community to hang out with and a bunch of other benefits.
