OU Early Applications & Honor's 2017 application for Fall 2018 traditional BSN

[MMMD]

Hi! So far I can not find any threads regarding OU College of Nursing's early applications or anyone that has applied for the honor's program so I thought I would start one. The application deadline was just Oct. 15, 2017 and I realize the website says notifications will be sent out by Feb. 1, 2018. However, I am curious if anyone either currently or in the past has applied for early acceptance. If so, what was your experience? Did they wait until the Feb. 1 date or did you hear back before starting the spring semester? Also I am curious about the honor's program and how many people actually follow through and complete it while in the nursing program.
