Molloy College Honors Business program--

<p>I have an opportunity to enter the honors business program at Molloy College. My current plan is to attend law school after college; and since law school admission is said to be 95% GPA+LSAT, coming out with a 4.0, or close to it, is my main priority. </p>

<p>While going into the honors program does seem to have its perks, my question is whether entering this program would basically hurt my grades. My concern is that while I would most likely stand out greatly in a regular class, my performance would be much more leveled with the other top students. </p>

<p>In my mind when a teacher is grading subjective work like an essay, the best would receive an A while the rest would trickle down through B-C-D etc compared to the best of the pack. Although my question probably can't be answered with hard data, any relevant opinions are welcomed. </p>

<p>If someone does happen to have statistical data on students in the honors college compared to the regular from any college/university, that would be amazing.</p>

<p>Start in the Honors Program. If you can’t keep up the workload, drop down to the regular classes. Not all professors grade with a curve. It is not unheard of for all the students to get an A in a relatively tough college class.</p>

<p>If you have specific questions about the grading at Molloy, you should contact the head of the Honors Program, and ask.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. The reason I’m asking and not just jumping at the opportunity is also because I will have to interview for the program, and I need to decide whether to go into the business or regular honors program. </p>

<p>I’d still be interested to know whether a law school would take priority over a student with a 4.0 from regular classes or a 3.8 from an honors program. Do you think if I email the dean I could get the average GPA for students in either the regular or business honors programs?</p>
