Other than academic gratification, is there really a point to graduating with honors? I ask because I'm thinking of double concentrating, and if I do so, I probably won't be able to graduate with honors because my schedule will be full. I just want to know what I'm missing out on.

Honors as in the program or honors as in 4.0 GPA and high grades?

If you mean honors as in top-ranking student, there are like a million reasons to excel in academics....looks better on your resume, easier to get your foot in the corporate world, and also, with higher grades, you'll get more tuition assistance each year....for example, I maintained a 4.0 GPA for my first two semesters and i just received a scholarship paying for more than half of my tuition.

I was thinking about it too (whether or not honors is worth it) and it seems to be all about the inner worth. But if you go to a college where the honors kids are treated like gods then it has it's advantages as well as what agentxprovocateur  said good for corporate world etc.
