<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Can someone give me more information on the honors program and what are the requirements and benefits for being in that program?</p>

<p>Thanks…</p>

<p>For requirements you can look here: [Admission</a> to College Honors](<a href=“http://honors.ucla.edu/freshman.html]Admission”>http://honors.ucla.edu/freshman.html)</p>

<p>That also takes you straight to their website.</p>

<p>One thing I don’t understand:</p>

<p>The website says that if students have a minimum 4.1 weighted GPA and a minimum SAT score of 2080, they qualify for the College Honors Program. However, the actual application says you MUST send in proof saying that you graduated within the top 3% of your school. Which one is it?</p>

<p>Coral:</p>

<p>I recently researched this issue on the UCLA honors programwebsight, and I believe the rule is 2080 sat/4.1 weighted gpa </p>

<p>OR</p>

<p>top 3% of the class</p>

<p>But that is just a hazy recollection, so you should verify.</p>

<p>Floridadad55 sounds correct on this.
The only benefit is that you get a little notation on your transcript when you graduate, saying you were in the Honors Program. Not many people jump for that.</p>

<p>^^What do you mean “she gets nothing”?</p>

<p>You still have to formally apply, those requirements listed by Florida dad are just that, requirements. If you meet them, you are in simply by filling out the app.</p>
