<p>I am a senior this year and was accepted to the the honors college at Oregon State.</p>
<p>Reading other threads I have seen many people say that honors college doesn't mean much in terms of medical school admissions but I was wondering if I should accept the offer. The advantages are of course the smaller class sizes (I was looking at the catalog and honors classes such as freshman biology and calculus seem to have a 20 person cap, while regular biology lectures has like a 525 person cap). I think the disadvantages are more reading, writing, discussion, projects (more work overall), which possibly means lower grades and I know that GPA is extremely important.</p>
<p>What do you think about honors colleges and what do you suggest? Is the grading indeed harder and is it harder to get a higher GPA in an honors college as opposed to the regular college?</p>
