<p>Would they help you alot? Is it same as high school to undergrad where taking honors and ap is a def. plus in admissions?</p>
<p>Won’t make a difference. If you do decide on honors, do it because you want to do it, not for admission or application purposes.</p>
<p>i’ve heard it doesnt help, unless in a science honors program, u take the honors research and publish a paper…</p>
<p>It probably won’t help in medical school admissions directly. Adcoms are unlikely to think more highly of you because of the honors tag on your transcript.</p>
<p>However, taking honors coursework may actually benefit your GPA. At many colleges, honors courses are actually easier than their regular counterparts due to more generous curves.</p>
<p>well, there are only 3 or 4 extra classes u have to take to complete the honors req’s… that want necessarily increase ur GPA by much, especially not before applying because u do honors classes most in ur senior year… like senior honors seminar, honors research 2… and stuff like that…</p>
<p>there are other classes u have to take too, but they are just higher level major’s classes… not necessarily classes which only honors students can take…</p>
<p>Every “honors college” or “honors program” works differently vick; yours is not representative of everyone’s, nor is everyone else’s representative of yours.</p>
<p>At my school, a number of honors classes are required (and available) to graduate with the honors designation; most are easier than their non-honors counterparts for precisely the reason shades mentioned.</p>
<p>^^ yea i see… i figured that because my U has very less difference between the regular and honors bio major… I guess the classes for honors at out U are difficult because there are so few of them u need to take…</p>
<p>Honors have a lot of benefits like Merit $$, early registration, small classes. Classes are not much more difficult at all, actually some kids agrre that they are easier becuase they are much smaller and prof. is more accessible.</p>
