Thoughts from past Thesis Writers:

"It's ... a luxury to have a project like the undergraduate thesis, which allows you develop your own interests and ideas."

"It improved my writing skills and forced me to cogently explain why I had made the choices I did in my editing, as well as what suggestions I took or discarded from peers and professors, and defend those answers intelligently." 

"Part of my senior thesis was my writing sample for grad school applications. At Harvard, where I was accepted, ... the writing sample has to be already on par with good graduate work. The [Honors] program helped me achieve that level."

"I got to pick what I was reading and explain how it helped me to think about my own writing decisions and what elements are really necessary... This is a very transferable skill, as any job is going to want you to be able to be creative with your decisions and come up with something from start to finish that will work for others."

"The honors thesis program helped my writing skills more than any other class during undergraduate. It was definitely worth it!"
