does honors help? well it depends. holding everything equal (grades, MCAT, ECs, essays, etc), it may help slightly. if you are going to do honors, make sure you can excel in the program… otherwise it’s not worth it.

and yes, it is a large school. there are many bright kids, but also many kids who won’t make it past preliminary applications.

but in the end, you shouldn’t worry about how others do in your school. there are many qualified and brilliant pre-meds from all around the nation from very prestigious and non-prestigious schools as well, who will be applying for the same spot you want in med school. they are your competition.
