<p>They may be given the best consideration for the merit scholarship opportunities, but I seriously doubt anyone (and DS does not know anyone in all his B/K encounters) at school that is not an Honors student that is there on either a partial or full B/K. </p>
<p>Also the comment regarding students being selected for the B/K being extended an invitation to the Honors College is confusing to me because upon acceptance you are notified if you are in Honors, THEN from there you are CONSIDERED for possibly being invited to interview for the B/K (and not all Honors are invited). You cannot be extended an invitation to the Honors College AFTER being AWARDED the B/K, to my knowledge or experience from others. </p>
<p>The only thing I can think of that may be interpreted from the email differently is that upon acceptance, they decided who would be extended an invitation for the B/K and notified them of the Honors status upon acceptance because they were going to be considered for the B/K.</p>
<p>DS is an Honors Ambassador and has just been placed on the B/K panel and I double checked my info with him in case I was off. This is his understanding as well.</p>
