The only way to be in both Honors and Scholars is by doing Scholars freshman year, then joining Honors. Enrolled and Transfer Students | ASC Honors Program

I wouldn’t let not being in honors affect an admission decision, since your student can join later. And being in any scholars program is great. They learn how to get involved on campus right away.

My D started in scholars, joined honors, worked in different research labs and completed an undergraduate thesis.

You don’t actually need to be in honors or scholars to do undergraduate research. There is an entire office devoted to helping students connect to research opportunities.

Attend the Denman and talk to students about their research. Some of the best opportunities my S had were from being recommended to a professor by another student. My D was willing to work anywhere. Those skills were transferable and soon she was working on exactly what she wanted.
