Does taking part of the University's Honors College program gives extra points for the AROTC OML. Is it worth the extra work?
+1Don't know what college you're going to, but being in Honors Program has advantages that may make the extra work worth it, but not necessarily in an actual OML way. For example -- usually, Honors College participants get first dibs on registering for classes, meaning they get the good teachers, the good sections that fit with their schedule in other areas, and they don't have as much hassle getting the classes they need when they need them in order to graduate on time.
Those classes, filled with honors college kids, can be more engaging, resulting in a more dynamic learning experience. And you have better access to tutoring and great study groups. Special section honors classes can also sometimes be smaller and more intimate than regular classes, with more individual interaction with the professor.
Interesting outtake on that. Never thought about it that way. Nothing wrong with it; survival of the fittest.We knew that we wanted our boys that scored 33-35 on the English portion of the ACT sitting next to the kid who scored a 19. Sounds harsh, but it's true. Think "better by comparison."
As stated, there are scheduling and class size advantages to participating in an Honors program. However, when we weighed the advantages/disadvantages with our sons, they decided against it.
My husband is a college professor. He grades hundreds of papers and tests a year. We knew that we wanted our boys that scored 33-35 on the English portion of the ACT sitting next to the kid who scored a 19. Sounds harsh, but it's true. Think "better by comparison."
