<p>One mitigating factor here is that you got into the Honors program, meaning most of your classmates will have scores in the 500 range, not too bad. BUT look into the Honors program: how many of your classes are Honors? Can you add Honors Option (credit) to a regular course (ie research paper added, etc)?
Regardless: the fact you’re in the Honors Program will look good if you seek to transfer.
Essentially, you’ll be getting a Community College education (let’s face the facts), but entirely paid for, with a real “college experience” (dorms, campus life - make sure to request “Honors Housing” because you’ll make friends quickly and there tends to be perks). So, free education, college experience, AND you’ll have the “Honors” denomination added. You’ll have to work hard not to get too unmotivated and keep straight A’s even if the other students aren’t as hard working as you are (as many students with scores in the 300s and 400s SATs will struggle keeping up with the pace and may not have good study habits). But that’s the same at a community college, and at a CC you won’t even have the resources and the type of classmates you’d have in the Honors Program. Finally, you’ll likely skip a lot of very basic, introductory classes and move straight into more specialized classes right away, always good for your transcript.
Odds are, you’ll try to transfer after one or two years, so you’ll be using this as a stepping stone, exactly as if you came from a CC, but coming from a HBCU will also be a distinguishing factor for you in the transfer process compared to all the students whom apply from a CC.</p>
