Is Honors worth it?

<p>You should speak with the professor. Ask him/her how many hours/week he/she thinks this extra work would take. Discuss your reservations and your reasoning for wanting to do it, and let them advise you as well. The professor will have a good idea if you are a good candidate to do it or not based on previous experience. </p>

<p>That is a lot of work to get honors designation. It’s not worth it for the honors alone. However, some of these experiences would benefit you as a student immensely. And as I previously stated, discussing even one of them would be a fantastic essay topic. If you are simply looking to improve your admissibility, don’t bother with this. If you want to improve yourself as a student and think you can utilize this experience to its fullest potential, by all means pursue it. </p>
