I have been nominated for all these awards but many of them are “scams”. Should I list them anyway since they look good?
Who’s who among high school students
USAA Science award
National honor roll
NYLF
poetry.com “Poet of the year”
NSHSS (national society of high school scholars)
<p>"Who's who is a scam" and I think NSHSS/National Honor Roll is too.</p>
<p>No clue what NYLF is</p>
<p>I am a Who's Who Scholarship semi-finalist so it doesn't seem like a scam to me! And hey you might as well list them it won't hurt!</p>
<p>DONT LIST POETRY.COM---- scam scam scam</p>
<p>Don't list anything of these. Also don't list things you are nominated for; just list real awards you've won. List only awards given by credible organizations, like your school (book award, scholar awards, honors), Rotary Club etc, scouts, awards through competitions like INTEL, essay writing, sponsored by museums or other credible organizations.</p>
<p>ummm...poetry.com?</p>
<p>yea i heard poetry.com is a scam</p>

<p>They look good to you; to the adcoms, you look foolish and naive.</p>
