<p>i have to apologize for touting the use and value of honors classes at community colleges. although they have in the past been a challenge and great experience for me, i just recently found out that berkeley and most UC's do not take the honors track into weight in admissions process. </p>
<p>i was lied to. i am both shocked and dismayed, but life goes on. whatev. anyway, if anyone has any insight into this matter for real? let me know.</p>
<p>It is true, honors classes play a very minor role into college admissions. I spoke with many UC reps and they told me the same. The summation of what they said was something along the lines of, "If you take it, you better get an A. Otherwise, it doesn't really do much for you. For UCLA TAP, it just puts your application at the top of the pile...you still have to get in based on your performance in school not because you took honors."</p>

<p>PM me the name and the address of the person who told you. My hommies and I are going to pay them a visit.</p>
<p>Well it's true. To be honest, my honors classes actually seemed easier than my regular classes. Most teachers know honors is a joke but it definitely makes us feel a bit better than life without it. Priority admission means exactly that. You get a bit of a push for UCLA but otherwise, it's just another thing to put on your resume.</p>
