<p>I think you may be confusing a couple of acronyms…? You don’t get “invited” to a LEP. LEP stands for Limited Enrollment Program, which is basically the major you apply to. Not every major is a LEP.</p>

<p>It is the LLC’s that you get “invited” to; it is a great program and LLC stands for Living-Learning Community. </p>

<p>Invitations to these programs are primarily based on your application - not just stats and gpa, but also how you presented yourself through essays and short answers</p>
<p>I’m not sure what you mean by the differences between regular classes and being in a LEP… other than you can only take certain engineering classes (for example) if you were admitted to engineering (which is a LEP). There is a distinction between regular classes and honors classes, with honors being more challenging. However, honors level classes are restricted to only those students in the honors college.</p>
