<p>The sciences are pretty tough at Pitt. The pre-meds and the nurses work very very hard. And the honors college courses can be quite a bit more demanding than the regular versions. So add it up, and you have a double whammy. If your goal is to get into medical school, you need good grades. So I don’t think taking honors bio courses is going to help in that regard. Just my opinion. </p>
<p>My daughter is honors college eligible but has only taken one honors course so far, psych. She worked her butt off, and when she bumped into someone taking the regular version, he told her he was finding it easy. My daughter loved her class (only 16 kids) and thought the professor was awesome, but the amount of work was also awesome.</p>
