<p>What happen with A with honors? Better?</p>
<p>answer!</p>
<p>I'd say getting the A is more impressive. Unlike high school, in college the honors label is more an indicator of having to do an honors thesis, a better professor or smaller class sizes rather than a more challenging course. This is not to say the latter isn't true, but it's just based on my own experience - my friend is in Honors Psychology yet I have the same material despite being in a regular class.</p>
<p>According to the counselors (from UCB and UCLA) I talked to getting an A in a class is better than getting a B in an honors class. To me, the only reason you should take honors classes would be to complete TAP or something along that line.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'd say the A without honors is more impressive. I'm not sure how it works at your college, but at mine, to acheive "honors" just means completing extra components on top of your regular expected coursework...kind of like extra credit. If have an A without honors, it means you did well in your class with homework, quizzes, and exams. To have a B with honors means you didn't do so well, but you did an extra honors component. The regular A seems more impressive than the honors B, I would think.</p>
<p>I am an advocate of TAP. I am applying for fall 2007, about to be TAP certified. Whew it is a lot of work for me and stressful as hell. It involves a lot of work outside of class 1 on 1 with my instructors...</p>
