[quote=Anonymous]DD is applying to both Penn State and University of Florida. Penn State is definitely a safety and I think U of F will fall into that category as well. Hence, these are not applications she had budgeted a ton of time for. Just as we were about to submit, she raised a concern that she should be applying to the honors program at each school. Personally - I am a little skeptical of making the effort. My thinking - [list]Even at lower ranked schools - these programs can be very difficult to get into - because they are quite small. I think this is true of Penn State[/list] [list]The programs often force students to take a lot of "extra" classes in fields that the student is not interested in[/list] [list]The idea of spending a lot of extra time on apps for these safety schools is pretty annoying - esp. given how many other apps she needs to work on[/list] Curious to hear other peoples perspectives.[/quote]
