<p>Should I feel bad?</p>

<p>Not really.</p>
<p>I didn’t and I don’t feel bad, especially because all of my classmates were whining about “how much work it is” to actually become a member.</p>
<p>Definitely don’t want to be a part of a “society” where people are going to complain about it like that.</p>
<p>Only a little bit, and then you should realize that you’re probably gonna do things in your life that are way more important than having your name listed in the midst of a fairly unimportant organize, and then you can get over it :)</p>
<p>What is NHS?</p>
<p>I got into NHS before probably even your parents were born (meaning long, long ago), and it didn’t make a big difference in where I went or what I do. Focus on other activities that you enjoy and that you do well, and of course classes at school! (:+) Of course it will sting a little bit, but don’t let it get to you.</p>
<p>I hope NHS = National Honor Society.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yup, the same NHS.</p>
<p>@Foodlover001; at my school, you got the invitation if you had an 88 or higher in all of your classes throughout HS, though they changed it starting this year to a 90 and grandfathered the class of 2013 in.</p>
<p>NHS acceptance criteria vary greatly throughout the country, and at many schools acceptances are highly, highly subjective. Just move on - you will find many other more worthwhile activities.</p>
<p>Thanks for the support! </p>

<p>Don’t worry about it at all. I have several friends who got accepted to Cornell but were rejected from NHS</p>
<p>Mope for a while(check) and then get over it. It’s just another competitive, stress inducing club–there are plenty others to take its place. </p>
<p>At my hs, not only do you need to be honor roll, you also have to hold a few leadership roles, which is the main problem for us braniac, charisma-deficient people.</p>
<p>ahh NHS–another tryhard club</p>
<p>It’s not even that important lol. U can just do it next year </p>

<p>120 people accepted in my school, 16 declined. Of course for some unknown reason I was one. People asked if I was joking at first, unfortunately I wasn’t.</p>
<p>Wow! You guys actually have to apply for NHS at your school’s? At my school you only need a 3.5 GPA to get in and stay in (easy I know).</p>
<p>Yeah, at my school you need a 4.0 weighted GPA + hours/leadership positions/blahblahblah based on a points system to get in, then you need 20 individual hours and 3 group hours per semester to remain in, as well as attend almost all the meetings, events, and have no disciplinary issues.</p>
<p>usually my school accept a GPA rating a little to high for my reach (I have 3.1 the requirement is like 3.4+ or smething). But really I didn’t really care as my main focus was just to get good grades not join a club.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it (: If you want to do it, just do some community service this summer and work hard in school and you can apply next year</p>
