Hey, I’m not sure to what degree being in the honors program would factor into consideration for medical school. I am not exactly familiar with how that works but I would think the most important aspects are MCATs and GPA, whereas additional academic programs (like the honors program) wouldn’t hurt to have but would be of a lesser importance. I haven’t found the courses to be overly difficult to the point that my GPA suffers. The courses (at least that I’ve taken) are writing intensive and more in depth, and do cover many other requirements (global, world views and ways of knowings, etc.) and are interesting at the same time. It’s a great way to take courses that are challenging and interesting and I definitely recommend it! Hope that helps, sorry I couldn’t be more specific about the med school particulars!
