<p>In certain subjects such as math, my school offers around 3 levels of difficulty. For example..for precalculus, there's the regular level, the accelerated level, and then the honors level. I feel that I COULD take honors but the workload would be overbearing. Since accelerated is above regular levels (and already quite difficult IMO) but not as detailed/abstract as the honors level, do colleges just completely disregard accelerated programs? I'm taking everything else honors and AP but math is an area of difficulty for me.</p>
<p>They definitely consider it, but you have to look at it in context. For example, at more prestigious colleges, it’s natural for everyone to take the highest level (AP, honors, IB, etc.) of whatever course they take. To NOT take an honors or AP course would hurt you. The lower down you go, the more they credit you taking AP and honors courses as something out of the ordinary. It also depends on what you want to go into. Most fields in the sciences regard math as an important subject, so not taking AP/honors level math courses would hurt you more there than at a social science college.</p>
