Will NOT make a difference. The only thing that affects med school admissions is your own gpa, outside activities (such as research) you participate in, and MCAT scores. Departmental Honors is far more selective (and therefore more impressive/helpful) because it is based on college performance, not high school. So, aim for that. Depending on the department, the application for that is either for sophomore or junior year.
