A quick question about California Community Colleges?

Question

I know this is the sort of thing I should ask my counselor (and will) but I also want it from another source: does being in the honors program at a JC really improve your transcript outside of the TAG programs and all that jazz?

Answer 1

It really depends. If you do well in your honors program and you stress the importance or the challenging nature of the program adequately, it will definitely benefit you. However, if you participate in an honors program and you don't do so well... Then your GPA suffers. It is a double-edged blade. If you think you can handle it, go for it. If not, don't.

I'm inclined to say, 'don't' but that's because I have a very conditional work ethic.

Cheers.
