Extreme Makeover: Honors Edition

October 17, 2013Featured, General News

If you’ve ever heard from one of your friends, “I wish I was in the Honors Program!” then you should:

tell them to sign up for sophomore application information for the Honors Program;
stop rubbing your registration date in your friends’ faces.

When your friends sign up at go.gwu.edu/apply2uhp they’ll automatically receive the application when it’s available. Students can only apply to join the UHP during the second semester of their freshman year, and the UHP only accepts 15 students to start in the UHP as sophomores. Competition is tough, but it’s definitely worth it!
Tell your friends to sign up at go.gwu.edu/apply2uhp for information on sophomore admission to the Honors Program.

Hey, You Should Really Be In Honors!

Students can apply to the UHP during the second semester of their freshmen year. Make sure they don’t miss the application by having them sign up for an information request at our website.
Signing up for that list will get you one or two emails in the early spring semester notifying when the internal application to the Honors Program is available. We won’t abuse any emails and promise not to sell it to spammers.
When it comes time to apply, second-semester students will need a letter of rec from GWU faculty and a writing sample among other things. Some good advice for prospective applicants: build a relationship with a professor, and do some excellent writing.
And of course, signing up for the sophomore admit info request list is a sure fire way to make sure the application doesn’t get missed.
