[quote=Anonymous]One thing to remember is that Honors is just the "statistically" smartest students of the applicant pool. Most honors programs auto admit by SAT/GPA/class rank. The top LACs reject the overwhelming number of those candidates. One need only look at Naviance or similar to see all the red Xs. All the tippy top ones have <15% acceptance rates. From what I've observed as an educator who has seen the types of students who get into the top LACs (the ones with <15% acceptance rates), they really are filtering out for the best of the best- our star students who raise the most interesting points in class, those who go above and beyond merely making good grades, the students who we would say could change the world. The students who get into Honors are a larger group, about the top 10% of the HS class or so. Bright, capable, hardworking, but they're not going through the same filter. Just some food for thought.
