What do you mean ‘admitted’. I promise there is no list of admitted people. If you mean that letter it doesn’t really mean anything one way or another. It is just to save a million phone calls asking, “why is my son/daughter in the honors college?”

Did you get invited to apply for honors housing? My understanding is that is a strict cutoff for Forbes, which is unfortunate in my view. Basically anyone can take honors classes with permission so it doesn’t matter much.

IDK the honors college should be thought of more like a place and a collection of activities and people who like to do them and less like a program. The UHC is not a membership organization and no one is officially admitted or excluded. I think the misconception that there is some list is really unfortunate because i am sure we lose people every year who would contribute to our community but feel uninvited.
