How to Apply to Honors Programs

We encourage students to apply to more than one honors program. Each program admits independently, and it is possible to receive multiple offers. Students applying to the Scholars Program should also apply to the Macaulay Honors College, and any student interested in medicine should apply to both Scholars and Macaulay as well as the Coordinated B.A.-M.D. Program. The B.A.-M.D. Program is compatible with both Scholars and Macaulay—students can be part of B.A.-M.D. and Scholars, or B.A.-M.D. and Macaulay.
