   University Honors and Business Honors are separate programs. In order to be selected for Business Honors you must go through our application process.
8. My SAT scores were sent to the University, do I need to send Business Honors a copy of those scores?
   No, we do not need a separate copy of your SAT scores. Just complete that section of the application. We confirm your scores through the university’s student information system.
9. Is it okay if I send my picture, resume, newspaper articles about myself, etc. with my application?
   We do not review anything extra that was not explicitly requested in the application instructions.
10. How will I know if you’ve received my application?
    We send a confirmation email to you when we have received and processed your application. If we are missing any parts we’ll let you know at that time.

Current Students

1. When will applications be available?
   In early December.
2. When are applications due?
   February 6^th, 2009.
3. What should be on my resume?
   List all activities following your graduation from high school. You may include activities and employment from the summer before you entered college but our primary interest is in your activities during college.
4. Who should write my letter of recommendation?
   The person writing your letter of recommendation should be a teacher or professor who knows you well. You want your letter of recommendation to tell the reviewers something the rest of your application does not. The title of the person writing the letter isn’t important; it’s the quality of the content in the letter. Since many freshmen only had large classes during their first semester, you may not know any college professors well. For this letter, a high school teacher is acceptable.
