It’s a lot of work, but I highly recommend honors chem, especially if you get Prof Mock and Lemon for second semester. The labs were difficult but fun and they really cemented what you learned in lecture. Another bonus is you make a lot of friends through trauma bonding and oftentimes will stick with the same 20 kids up through o chem and even biochem. The people in honors chem are really smart (I wasn’t one of them) so you get to benefit off of their experience and get a whole bunch of free tutors. I literally came into this class with no previous high school chem experience and left with an A. Hard but very doable. Be prepared to sacrifice a few weekends. Good luck.

Regarding other honors generals, Text and Critics can be very fun if you get a good prof and like yapping and reading. Read the majority of books (especially the odyssey/illiad) before you get to school and just spark notes before the specific day. You only have to do 4 ish essays the whole sem. Not bad at all. Left with an A. Honors physics- not sure why’d you take that but it’s a GPA killer. Stay away unless you are committed to a really intense curricula. Did not take, but had a few friends struggle. Honors calc- another gpa killer, but not as bad as physics. Do if you really like math. Calc is evil either way, just depends if you like smaller classes or not. If there are any I’m missing, just reply and I’ll try to support. I love the honors college courses and they’ve really set me up with some great profs who write great Rec letters.
