My D want to be in the Honors program
Can she advocate for it?
I assume you saw this.
Why not reach out and ask Honors if it’s possible to appeal, etc. if you haven’t been in or perhaps there’s an after enrollment opportunity - like after first year.
Lots of statistical data is listed on the link.
Thanks. I will read through it. It is important to her to be in honors student as a freshman so applying later is not her preference. Maybe she will call admissions
Has she looked at what Honors entails ? It’s not the same at all schools but many students batch them all together. My son applied to some, but not others based on offerings.
At some schools, Pitt for one, you can take the classes without being in Honors.
Please be cognizant of not just ‘Honors’ but what it means for that school.
If it’s that important, then how about a different school where they might get into a program ?
Good luck with UMN.

@Ksamb If your D finds out an appeal for freshman year isn’t possible and changes her mind about waiting until sophomore year, here are the details on how to apply later:

I would also say honors notification can come any time until the end of March while admissions are shaking out. If you don’t have it yet, that doesn’t mean you won’t. That goes for scholarships too. I have a kid that applied last year, had acceptance in October, honors in January, scholarship late Feb/early March? My other kid that applied a few years ago had all that info within 2-3 weeks of application in October. Depends on program, where you applying from, etc.
That said everyone is considered and I don’t think there is a normal appeal process (we are local and alum and know lots of students who apply and attend. Both my kids were offered honors and a scholarship). It is possible to apply later however.
The other thing to note is honors is the top 10% of incoming by school or something like this. It’s more competitive for CSE, CBS, Carlson. Here is an overview of stats often included for honors (scroll to the bottom, stats are by school)
