<p>I go to Barrington high school in Illinois. For a class like Physics H, which is honors at my high school, do I put that as honors on the UC application or do I put it as NH since I don't know if it's UC approved? There's no list like that on my schools website or anything, but my school is a college prep school and I'm sure my honors classes are legitimate.</p>
<p>Bump. Bbbbb</p>
<p>If you are out of state, you can’t list them as Honors, so put NH. It’s unfortunate, but honors only count for CA students. We are in Illinois too - Aurora.</p>
<p>Agreed, just list them as “Not Honors”. It’s really confusing because most sources tell you not to list classes as honors if you’re OOS, but the Berkeley FAQ says that if a course is listed as honors on your transcript, then you should also mark it as “HL”… Just list them as not honors and you’ll be fine. It won’t hurt your chances or anything.</p>
<p>OH NO. I’m OOS and I marked all my honors courses as HL. Would that count against me?</p>
<p>No, I’m sure you’ll be fine. Once again, UC themselves give contradictory information. Here’s a quote from the UCLA admission FAQ: “Out-of-state applicants: only designate HL for courses designated as honors level on your official transcript.” They can’t penalize you for something that’s directly stated on their website, even if all the other sources tell you to do it otherwise. I’m pretty sure they’ll just disregard all the courses you’ve listed as HL and treat them as not honors instead.</p>
<p>Okay thanks(:</p>
<p>I just designated all my honors courses as NH but wrote stuff like “Honors English 10” in the title box. At my school at least the gaps between honors, mid-level, and CP classes are very significant, so it seems ridiculous to leave this sort of ambiguity in the application for out-of-staters who may or may not have challenged themselves academically.</p>
