<p>I am in a predicament right now; I have to choose between NHS and basketball. Which one should I choose? To be honest, I love basketball so much, and I cannot live without it. This year, I am very likely to be a varsity starter. However, if I don't go to the tryout because of NHS induction ceremony, I cannot join the team. I certainly want to go to a great college, but if I don't play basketball this year, I think I will regret until I die. What are the benefits of being in the NHS? Will it get me into a great college?</p>
<p>We don't have a NHS at our school. Too small and with most students taking the IBMYP and IB Diploma, kind of pointless.</p>
<p>So my advice is a bit biased. Take basketball, especially if this is a continuation of something from a few years ago. Are you a junior? </p>
<p>I don't know; some people say in their high schools the NHS isn't a big deal since their school doesn't use weighted GPA so those taking easy courses get a 4.0 GPA while those with AP/IB/Honors classes get low-ish grades. Others say the standards are pretty low and the Society doesn't really do anything. It all depends.</p>
<p>I love basketball. (JV team captain, but still!) So I say go for basketball.</p>
<p>I'd speak with your BB coach. Doesn't seem he could cut you from the team for missing a conflicting school event! You've been playing...you're not missing a game...if he isn't receptive I'd speak with the Athletic Director or HS Principal?</p>
<p>The problem is that the coach doesn't even know me because he's new this year. :( My parents don't really want me to play bball, so I really don't know what to do. I already miss the first day of tryout because of fckin orchestra.</p>
