USM HonorsWho May Apply? Transfer Students: click here What Does Honors Look For
in Applicants? We look at
transcript information and ask for a letter of recommendation from a
faculty member you worked with at USM or another institution. Your transcript doesn't tell the whole story though. That's why we ask you to include an essay that fills in the gaps. Please look at our website carefully, familiarize yourself with our mission and courses and write us a new essay. Because we also read your USM application essay, this should be a new piece of writing based on why you want to participate in this specific program. What lead you to USM Honors and what are your goals as a student? How was your experience at your last school? Do you have a mentor that inspires you? If you never considered Honors before, why now? What is your understanding of the program's mission, courses and expectations? Choosing Honors should be based on your interest in the courses and the opportunities to work closely with other students and faculty. Apply because it's what you want. *USM Honors can not admit students who are presently in the GO Program at USM without express permission from our Director. **We recommend
students choose either Honors or Russell Scholars in order to
avoid duplication of Core/General Education requirements. 2. Please fill out our: online form Deadlines: Space is limited! First priority deadline for classes beginning fall 2008 will be March 1st, 2008 but we continue to accept applications through June 30th, 2008. Applications received after June 30th, 2008 are reviewed and students drawn from a wait list. Applicants are notified of admissions decisions as soon as they are made. Questions?
