Does being an honors student in college matter in law school admissions?

<p>Hi, I'm currently a freshman at a fairly well-known, very large state university. I am pretty set on going to law school after I graduate, and recently I've received a letter from my school telling me that I'm eligible to become an honors student. I did some research and talked with an honors advisor, and although she tells me that honors courses are not more difficult but are just more discussion-based, I think they might be harder than normal classes, which might impact my grades negatively. Also, if I become an honors student I will have to take more than twice the amount of general education courses, which, frankly, I dislike as a whole. I'm a 4.0 student and would like to stay that way, and law school admissions are supposed to look at your LSAT, GPA and personal statement (in that order), so that's my argument for not going into the honors program. Would you agree? Any other kind of advice would be very much appreciated!</p>

<p>If it’s going to hurt your GPA don’t do it. I’m in the honors program at my university, but it helps me get into the classes I want through registering early (and there are also unique honors classes that I’m interested in and wouldn’t be able to take as a non-honors student). But your GPA is far more important than your honors designation with regard to law school admissions.</p>
