Bet your DC can't wait to get away

np. why the eyeroll? My kid is the same with the honors program. They are going to drop it next year. It's getting in the way of getting a double degree in 3 years (had lots of credits going in ). That was their decision, however.

Agree with PPs, it depends on the school, the major and what exactly honors means in that school. What advantage do they get there?
None of which you can know years before the kid even applies

PP, why do you need a specific name? So you can criticize the school?

Honors programs are similar between schools in terms of offerings.
No, there are significant differences among them.

Think it depends on what the in state option is.

No; honors is not worth $40K over four years, all other things being equal.

I don’t know about your finances, but $10k is not an amount that would be a consideration for us. I’d let my child choose the school they like the best regardless of honors status.

DC had honors admit to OOS flagship with a high rating but regular admit to in state flagship. Cost difference is about 10K all in. Is honors worth 10k/year?
