Application process

Students applying to the Honors Program will be required to submit two applications, the application for general admission to LCW and the Honors Program application. Both the Honors Program application and the general admissions application, with all supporting materials, must be submitted by the Honors Program deadline.

Below is a summary of the material that an Honors Program applicant must submit:

  • General admissions application to LCW. This includes submitting official transcripts and SAT/ACT scores.   
  • Students who apply to the Honors Program are not required to complete the      personal statement for the general LCW application.   
  • If you are applying to the Integrated Health Sciences Honors Track or Medical 
    Honors Pathway (MHP), one of the two Honors Program essays can focus on
    your clinical or research-related experiences and be used for both applications.   (More information can be found on the application and website for each program).  
  • Honors Application
  • Two letters of recommendation to accompany the Honors Program application.  Ensure that two letters of recommendation are submitted on your behalf directly by your referees by the application deadline.   
  • These letters should attest to your specific academic strengths and capabilities that are relevant for success in the LCW Honors Program.   
  • If you are applying to the Integrated Health Sciences Honors Track or Medical Honors Pathway (MHP), one of the recommendation letters must be from someone (e.g., a teacher, the head of a lab, or a clinical supervisor) who can speak to your capability in understanding and applying scientific information. This letter can be used for both the Honors Program and the Honors Track or Honors Pathway applications.   
  • If you are applying to the Integrated Health Sciences Honors Track, you must also submit a letter from a clinical supervisor documenting your observation/volunteer hours. This is not considered a letter of recommendation.   
  • Please submit to the LCW Admissions Office the names and contact information for the teachers who will write your letters of recommendation, using the link provided to you at the time of your initial inquiry. The LCW Admissions Office will contact your teachers and provide them with guidelines and instructions regarding how to submit these letters.   
  • Please make sure to provide the requested contact information to the Admissions Office as soon as possible, before you submit your application, to allow ample time for your recommendation letters to be received by the application deadline.   

       You should apply for the Honors Program at the same time you apply for general college admission. If you are accepted to the program and attend seminary in Israel, you will be invited to special events, such as shiurim and receptions, in Israel.
