What kind of student were you in high school??? How has it helped you transition in college??? Were you a regular student, honors student, or 1-3 honor classes?? Based on level of classes you took??

I was a A/B student in high school (graduated with ~3.5 cumulative GPA). In college I really slacked off during the first few years, but did well the last two (again, graduated with ~3.5 cumulative GPA). In medical school, I have done very well (GPA ~3.95, AOA, 250/270 Step 1/2 scores).

It is truly up to you when it comes to excelling in school. The more time you commit to learning, the better you will do. It's simple as that. It might not be the sexiest answer, but it's the truth.

In my high school, we had a good number of AP classes. For the AP students, it was almost a stigma to be in honor classes, and worse to be in regular classes. But I suppose it depends on the school.

I did well in HS. We didn't have honors in our high school, but I took almost every AP and Pre-AP course I could take. It for sure has helped me develop stronger study habits for college.

AP classes taught me that English is not my best subject. Also that spark notes and 24 hours won't cut it for 20 page research papers.
