I am wondering if all my hard work trying to get an honors diploma is really worth the effort? Will it truly help me when I am applying to college? -- Wanting In
Answer: Higher educational facilities definitely look at the distinction between different diplomas. When they see an honors diploma, they know at once that a student has taken a very demanding course load and has received good grades in these classes. This tells colleges that a student should be able to handle their academic demands.
Remember, colleges are also looking at such things as extracurricular activities, community service and part-time work experience. Your honors diploma will be less impressive to them if you can't show more than success in the academic arena.
