<p>I have a dd at UCD in the NPB major, and, my son was just accepted to the Honors program at UCDavis. You don’t seem to understand that they have a limited number of spots and will only select a limited number of students for the Honors program. Davis picks the students it wants in its Honors program, you don’t get to pick and choose to be in the Honors program. My son is a National Merit winner and was selected, we assumed, for the Honors program based on his SAT scores. He was also admitted to Caltech. FWIW: a large number of students are in the NPB (Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavioral Sciences) major and a majority of those students are trying to get into med school, so you are not unique. If the university did not select you for the Honors program, you did not meet their criteria for their program.</p>
