Hey, so I’m considering adding an Honors Humanities class to my schedule but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Would love to hear from someone who's been through it. Did you enjoy the class? More importantly, did it play a big role in your college app or do colleges not really care about that as much as other courses? Any advice would help a ton!
Absolutely, an Honors Humanities class can be a strong addition to your schedule. The rigor of an honors class is something colleges look at closely because it shows that you are challenging yourself academically. Humanities courses, in particular, are valued because they develop critical thinking, writing, and analytical skills, which are applicable across disciplines.
From my experience, students who have taken rigorous courses like an Honors Humanities class and done well are often seen as prepared for the demanding college environment. It's not just about the class itself, but what you make of it—engaging actively in class discussions, taking on a challenging humanities project, or even integrating what you learn into other areas can make it stand out on your college application. Remember, though, it's crucial to balance your course load so you can still achieve strong grades across all subjects.
