not sure if anyone would know this, but is there any info on when kent honors finalist decisions came out last year? the site says end of feb/early march
I got an email when I was accepted that just said they noted my application to the honors program and the committee would be reviewing honors applications shortly after the 2/17 deadline. I also think honors finalists are interviewed at the admitted students visit day, which is 3/31-4/1. Fingers crossed we hear something this week!
i'm also waiting to hear about whether I will be granted a Kent honors interview
I got an email about the Kent honors program yesterday! No idea if they all go out at once

will they give decisions before the deposit deadline?
They usually get back to people with decisions pretty quick. I think seat deposit deadlines are somewhat adjusted if you submit an application close to the deposit date
