Message: From GoLocalProv by Cristiana Quinn, GoLocalProv College Admissions Expert: Honors programs are a phenomenon that did not exist when most parents went to college. But today, many schools are touting them as a competitive tool. Some are extremely substantive and others are light in content and benefits. But, the truly robust honors programs offer students an academic experience that rivals the Ivy League, with many perks Ivy League students rarely see. The best offer an array of special courses, low student: professor ratios, top notch academic advising, research and publishing opportunities, and in some cases—FABULOUS honors dorms. For top students who are selected (based on GPA and sometimes SAT scores), these programs present amazing opportunities, and often, generous merit awards. Participants end up being highly sought after for graduate programs and careers because of the resumes they are able to build while still in school.
