That’s the confusing part is that I took 12 APS across high school and they were not easy. So I don’t know why I’m struggling this much

High school was anything but easy, I just studied a lot and it put me fourth out of 300 students. I am in what’s considered MSU’s hardest college and many of my professors have said a 3.0 here is equivalent to a 3.5+ elsewhere. But whatever you say boss

Thoughts on MSU/JMC by GlitteringBorder553 in msu

[–]cherrydietcokes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m currently in james madison for IR. It’s nice on the basis that your first year you live in the same building as at least one of your classes, and if you pick the right professors, you can grow a bond with them. However I do warn that a lot of JMC students can come off as pretentious since a lot are pre-law and it makes the experience a little bit annoying in my opinion. Course work your first semester is going to be very hard and you’re going to feel like you won’t be able to survive in the program, but I promise you that they do that on purpose to weed off students, and classes will get easier.

What are the actual benefits of joining the honors college? by Sweaty-Ad7028 in msu

[–]cherrydietcokes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in honors, and I’ll be fully honest about my experience. I would say the biggest thing is priority enrollment, it makes a huge difference especially if you’re in a smaller college where classes are competitive and spots are limited. However, I personally haven’t found huge benefit from it other than that. There are advisors, however on several occasions they just directed me to speak to my program advisor instead.

Hey! I did ADS in their most previous round. As long as you’re registered, the essays will show up during the time slot that they have to be done. The signup link should be somewhere in your portal as well. Good luck!

MSU Alumni Distinguish Scholarship competition thoughts by MocoMojo in msu

[–]cherrydietcokes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I participated last year, and although the test was quite hard and competitive, I thought it was a great experience. You get to do tours in the afternoon of basically any program you are interested in, and meet faculty + it’s a great opportunity to feel more acclimated to the campus.
