Congratulations & good luck all!

Is she high stats? Wondering if there may be more honors later for lower stats (or test optional) kids
My kiddo got into the Honors College today. Received an email after the portal had updated. He had the 1/26 date change a while back. He’s an OOS - 4.0 UW, 1560 SAT kid who applied to Computer Science. Thrilled to have the option to make a big school smaller.

Her stats are good, but not as high as some others I’ve seen here. She has 1450 SAT, 4.38 WGPA, 7 APs, good ECs in sports, service club and orchestra with leadership roles in her sport and a service club, community service, part time job, NHS and 3 other honor societies.

Thanks, my D is similar but test optional.
I can’t imagine all of the honors college acceptances went out tonight especially since the portal message was just updated in the last week or so to say that all honors decisions would be posted by mid-March. I think tonight was wave one with more to come over the next several weeks. Curious if all of tonight’s acceptances were from the same school. My daughter is Lerner College of Business.
Good point, looks like business and comp sci so far.
In-state son received honors college acceptance tonight. Poly sci major, 3.95UW, 4.5W, 1510 SAT submitted. Good ECs and essays. He is more excited about the interview for World Scholars, though.

Does everyone get accepted as a candidate for the World Scholars program?
I am not entirely sure how it works. He received an invitation to schedule an interview. Not sure if it was via email or the portal. It is not open to all majors. But I believe that students accepted into an eligible major can choose to apply.

DS accepted to honors - original acceptance 11/3, portal changed to 1/26 when everyone else’s did
Chem major
OOS
3.96 UW
4.6 W

He was pretty excited about this! (Although he is a kid to show over the top). Also accepted to UMd and NC State last night.
Really hoping they release info about accepted students days soon. He really wants to go to this one but his commitments make it so that we are likely only able to make the Feb one happen.
Anyone with prior experience know if they have soecial programming thise days for honors?

Received scholars & fellows invite. Will check portal for honors. Don’t think any merit info’s come yet.
Congratulations to all accepted unfortunately my OOS DS rejected 
Oh no, I’m sorry. I’m sure he’ll have other options and will find himself very happy at whatever one he chooses!
Yes, my son received that as well. I thought it would be something new when I saw the envelope, but it was just a print version of what was already on the portal. Still, there are a couple of very interesting options. I think my son might reach out to get more information.
What were the stats & when was the initial acceptance?
