Programs Starting my bachelor's degree in physics

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing an honors program during a bachelor's degree in physics at the University of Toronto can enhance academic credentials, particularly for those aiming for a Master's and PhD at top US universities. While a three-year BSc with good marks may be considered by some graduate programs, it is advisable to directly consult the specific graduate schools of interest to understand their requirements and preferences. Engaging with potential graduate programs can provide clarity on how an honors designation might impact admission prospects.

I'm starting my bachelor's degree in physics and i was wondering wether or not it is worth doing an honors program? (by the way I'm attending U of Toronto)

thanks
