I would advise against it. I took Honors Organic Chemistry at College and it was much more difficult then regular Organic Chemistry. Although I did well, I had to put in significantly more work. Moreover, my transcript did not even indicate “honors” on it. What BS! If you elect to take honors classes, makes sure you get your due credit on your transcript.

Also, my premed adviser told me that Medical Schools just want to make sure you have an aptitude for science. A high grade in a science class and a good MCAT score will do that. There is no need for honors.

Just my humble opinion
