Are college bound classes that bad?

Applying to College
1

<p>I go to a private school and no one informed me that colleges actually care so much about honors classes, so I blew them off freshman year completely and took one last year (Hon Geometry). There are 6 classes with the label and I’m taking one next semester so I’ll have taken only 2/6 honors offered. </p>

<p>My questions:</p>

<p>Are college bound courses looked down upon or does it really depend on the class rank? I got an A in an english course where most students got B’s and C’s and a couple even failed, wheras the “honors” course gave out almost all A’s and a few B’s when I know I worked harder. </p>

<p>Also, are honors courses only the ones with the honors label attached. We dont have honors bio, honors chem, etc.</p>

<p>What the heck is “college bound”?</p>

<p>I don’t know why people expect everyone to understand the precise vernacular their school uses.</p>

<p>College bound classes are normal level classes, so they’re not looked down upon. But you would be better off taking honors/AP courses for competitive colleges. I don’t really understand your second question.</p>
