Before worrying about entering Dean’s Scholars, make sure you reflect on why you really want to enter. If it’s just because you’ve always been honors, that’s probably not a good choice. Make sure you have a specific reason for wanting to get in.

For example, if you’re interested in it because of research, there are alternative programs, such as FRI [College of Natural Sciences | Freshman Research Initiative](http://cns.utexas.edu/current_students/research/freshman_research_initiative/)

Also, keep in mind that for your core classes, you are often restricted to only the honors section, which, often enough the professor is worse than the ‘normal’ section.

Anyhow, keep these things in mind before deciding to apply. If none of these worry you, go for it!
