<p>Hi there!</p>
<p>To put it shortly, I didn't get honors in my English class the first semester. I now have the chance to do it for second semester, but I'm not sure if I should. I'm hoping that the colleges will overlook the missing of two Hs on my transcript, rather than the inclusion of one and none right below it. I am not worrying about GPA, because honors in my school are weighted the same as regular classes.</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t you do it? Even if it is just one “H,” is the second one so it would improvement and taking advantage of an opportunity when presented. I don’t think it would be considered a negative.</p>
<p>In agreement ^^^</p>
<p>Does Harvard and the like weight honors classes over regular ones when they calculate GPA?</p>
<p>harvard looks at the level at which you challenge yourself. There are a lot of schools that do that, but they do not isolate their review t your senior year. Take what challenges you - don’t over thing the college thing.</p>
<p>That’s what I’m worried about though. I have about 16 APs on my transcript, so there will be a plethora of bold that denotes a weighted class. </p>
<p>Which brings another factor into play. The honors classes aren’t weighted, so my GPA is unaffected.</p>
<p>Also, for honors situations at other schools, is it usually if you lose honors for one semester, you can’t get it the next? I don’t really even want to do honors because it’s curriculum is essentially just some extra vocabulary from the same book that I used last year, so it will help me less than a regular class. However, colleges won’t know this, so I’m worried that me not doing it the second semester will make a difference.</p>
<p>16 APs… O.o I’ve taken 11 and I thought that was super high…</p>
<p>With 16 APs and you’re obsessing about one Honors class?</p>
<p>You’re the typical Harvard applicant here on CC. Pfft.</p>
<p>I thought lots of people took 16 APs…</p>
<p>How can you possibly have 16 AP’s?</p>
