Greetings,
I am currently a high school senior and will be attending a community college this coming fall. My goal is to finish community college within two years and ultimately transfer to a UC. I have thought about taking on honor courses and being apart of the honors program; however, I am worried this will affect my GPA. I want to make sure to maintain a high GPA because I know it’s imperative to keep a high GPA in order to transfer. With that being said, should I take honor courses? Will it be too overwhelming? Does it make me stand out to UCs?
Yes definitely take honors courses if you can handle the work. If you find out you can’t that’s ok plenty of people don’t.
It also depends on what track record your cc’s honor’s program has, and their transfer rates to your targeted schools. Definitely reach out to the program coordinator!
