<p>Do all National Merit Finalists at OU join the honors college? Our daughter is debating whether she would actually want to do this. She could potentially complete her degree in biology in 3 years(should have around 60 college hours when she finishes high school in May 2014). This would leave 2 years of graduate tuition left over if I’m understanding correctly from the Nat’l Merit counselors at OU. If she joined the honors college this would add extra hours, possibly another year which would cut into her grad school tuition. What are the biggest advantages to the honors college if you’re already a Nat’l Merit Finalist?</p>
