Hey guys I am currently a student at a top 50ish school (top 20ish public) and I have done pretty well so far in my classes. I have gotten A/A-'s in pretty much all my bio classes as well as orgo but I can't help but think that things would be much easier had I been in the "smart" classes in high school. Freshman year I did poorly in gen chem and calc because my math skills were poor. In HS I was in the slightly above average math class (not really honors) and I just can't shake the feeling that I would be doing much better in school if I had been in honors math/sciences the entire time in high school.
I took AP bio senior year and I attribute a lot of my success in college bio to that class.
Are pre-meds that take all honors classes in HS at a great advantage when it comes time for college? If you took 4 years of honors English along with classes like AP US wouldn't your verbal skills be 100x better than someone who took the "regular" classes in hs?
What kind of students were you guys like in high school?
