We've been receiving a lot of questions about the Liberal Arts Honors Program and awarding of merit scholarships to students who were accepted Early Action. Again, students who have been invited into the Honors Program were sent letters on Friday, December 29 (so the letters are out there). It is important to note that students who were accepted to PC Early Action but not invited into the Honors Program will be reevaluated for the Honors Program during the Regular Decision review process. We are only able to offer a limited number of students spaces in the Honors Program and because we do not yet know the depth of the Regular Decision applicant pool, we cannot give all of these spaces to students who applied Early Action. If, in the context of the overall applicant pool (having seen the entire Regular Decision group), an Early Action student possesses the credentials to be admitted into the Honors Program, he or she will receive notice of that invitation with the Regular Decision applicants in late March. (That's a wordy paragraph... hope it makes sense!!!!)

By the way, for a complete breakdown of the criteria necessary to be admitted into the Honors Program, head into the archives and read my blog from December 19th! It provides a thorough explanation of how selection for our extremely competitive Honors Program takes place.
