[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no distinction between a “honors” class and a regular class. Both cover the same material. The class is named differently to segregate kids. Colleges don’t care or even look at “honors class” crap. You want to take a higher level class - take a higher level class. Don’t call it “honors” and pretend it’s somehow different than the regular class.[/quote] Yes they do. Some colleges even give honors, AP, and dual enrollment classes the same weight for calculating your GPA.[/quote] Except - wait for it - no college does that. If you want an IB or AP, take the IB or AP. If you want to brag your kid took “honors” English - get a life. [/quote] The entire UC system gives A-G honors classes the same weight as AP and dual enrollment classes, at least for California residents: https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/freshman-requirements/gpa-requirement.html[/quote]
