<p>I am an entering freshman at Pitt and I think I can answer your question. </p>
<p>As far as being in the honors college goes, no one is in the honors college unless, as my honors advisor put it, they are physically inside the building. Anyone can participate in honors activities and all you need to do to get into and honors class is convince an honors advisor that you are interested in taking the class. The one thing you might not be able to do is live in Forbes honors housing, but you would have to talk to Eric Owens about that. </p>
<p>Med schools don’t care one bit about UHC versus regular classes. In fact, the dean of admissions at Pitt’s own medical school told the UHC that he doesn’t care. The ONLY reason to take a UHC class is because you are interested in the subject and you want to learn more. If (and I am not saying that this is the case for you at all) the only thing one cares about was getting into med school then it would be better not to take UHC courses and to get work on getting the highest GPA.</p>
<p>Hope that helped answer your question.</p>
