<p>Does taking honors classes help in med school admission? If one doesn't take honors classes but gets a good gpa, does that hurt him? How hard is MAT 141 honors and freshman Chem honors?</p>
<p>Aldo, how many people do the classes usually have?</p>
<p>You have to chill out. Just study hard and you will do fine, trust me. GPA is king in med school admission, they don't care about honors classes, this isn't high school. An Orgo class has around 1000 students.</p>
<p>can someone who actually knows inform us how many people are in a typical honors class--like honors chem?</p>
<p>The largest lecture hall on campus holds 500 students... Organic Chem caps at 400-450 for the lecture, I think. There's no class larger than that here.</p>

<p>what about the honors classes? How are they different and how large are they?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>If you want to know how big any given class is, look on SOLAR and see what the enrollment cap is set at.</p>
<p>Med school admissions aren't college admissions. They don't care which version you take, as long as it fills the requirement and you do well. Some honors classes are probably worth taking, some aren't. I've heard good things about PHY 141/142 (that the professors teach better, care about students more, and explain material more completely), bad things about CHE 141/142 (mostly that the professor sucks, but I have no idea if the same person teaches it every year), and that MAT 141 is fine but 142 is a KILLER (I know people who went on to snag As without much effort in calc 3 who nearly died in 142 and had to drop, seriously).</p>
<p>pse, can you tell me how many people can enroll in honors chem I?
-I don't have a solar account and am just trying to get an idea about how large these classes are at SB.</p>
<p>Looks like 160 spots in CHE 141, according to SOLAR, with 72 spots available as of right now.</p>
