@VeniceMate No, not at all! The Honors College just offers more opportunities on top of the numerous amount that Cofc has. If you think it is worth it, then you can also apply whenever you come here! The only thing that I believe is more helpful and might make a difference freshman year is the First Year Experience course, Beyond George Street, which is just for Honors Students. We begin making resumes, looking at study abroad options, looking at nationally competitive awards, etc. It makes you aware of all the resources available at Cofc and it also requires a one year volunteer service at any of their partners(I believe this option is available to just freshman but I could be wrong). You can also volunteer at any of their partners without the help of the Honors College! The biggest advantage though is that Honors students receive numerous amounts of funding when it comes to studying abroad and sometimes research. They have their own scholarships and some Cofc scholarships in general give priority to Honors students. That’s just something to think about. Regardless you will be fine with or without the Honors College for pre-med. A friend of mine was just accepted into her top med school choice and she’s not in the Honors College. Honors has its benefits that some students don’t get(and some commitments) but you will still succeed without being in honors.
