Thank you I was wondering if I should consider going to my state schools honors program

[@IvyAdmissionHelp]

It can be a really good option for many students. You can often save a lot of money and still get an exceptional education.

Should I go into the UNLV honors college program if I want to study medicine after the 4 years?

[@IvyAdmissionHelp]

Honors programs give you the feel of a small private university while providing all the benefits of a large research university. You can certainly apply to medical school afterwards.

Which one would you choose - Dartmouth or UVA Jefferson Scholarship?

[@IvyAdmissionHelp]

For those who don't know, the Jefferson Scholarship at University of Virginia is a highly selective, four year, full-ride, merit-based scholarship based on leadership and academic achievement. Since they cover the entire cost of tuition, it would be hard to pass this up for any school. The only reason you might choose Dartmouth over UVA is if Dartmouth offered you close to a full-ride based on financial need (Dartmouth doesn't offer merit-based scholarships, only financial-based aid). Otherwise, I'd 100% go to UVA as a Jefferson Scholar.

Do you have any insight on Barret honors college at ASU?

[@IvyAdmissionHelp]

Barrett is one of the best honors colleges out there. It produces a lot of Fulbright Scholars and other academic leaders. And it’s vastly superior to the general education you would get at ASU.

How would rate Rutgers' Honors College? I intend to study BFA dance at Mason Gross at Rutgers.

[@IvyAdmissionHelp]

The Honors College at Rutgers has an excellent reputation. It's a small, stand-alone college within the larger university. One advantage of this program is that you're automatically considered for admission when you apply to Rutgers; you don't have to fill out a separate application or write additional essays (which many other honors programs require). Also, in addition to earning an annual scholarship (the amount varies based on your credentials), you get to apply to other scholarships that are reserved exclusively for honors students. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.
