Comments
After the students in the class of 2013 have decided to commit to PC, do you invite students who were not originally in the Honors Program to join? (Since, I'm sure, not all original invited students plan on enrolling?)

To M.O.,
Good question - but the answer is no, we do not.
You're right that not every student who is selected for the Liberal Arts Honors Program decides to attend PC, and we build this in up front. So, while we only have about 125 spaces in the Liberal Arts Honors Program, we actually make close to 500 Honors Program "offers," knowing that not every student we invite will choose PC.

(In Response to previous question) I know you gave out Honors Program invitations in the Early Action round and the rest were saved for Regular Decision. But do you go back and consider the Early Action students in comparison to the Regular Decision students for those extra spots? [I'm just wondering what my chances are, as an Early Action candidate who was not originally invited into the program].

To M.O.,
We do reconsider all EA invited students who were not originally invited into the Liberal Arts Honors Program. However, it is extremely rare for a student who didn't receive an invitation to LAH at Early to be invited at Regular - no more than 2 or 3 students each year (and some years, there are none). Since the review is very consistent from Early to Regular, we know the academic credentials we are looking for at Early Action, and they are not any different at Regular Decision. I wish the answer was more promising, but the reality is that it is highly unlikely.
