<p>NHR makes money indirectly by selling mailing lists of the students that they collect. You might look at:</p>
<p>I don't think it is that important either way but why would you want adcoms to be rolling their eyes even for the one or two seconds it takes to skip over it?</p>
<p>Seriously you guys, don't waste you time with this stuff. If you're that desperate to get some "recognition" down on paper, then there's a problem.</p>
<p>In general, these types of recognitions is what you want:
- awards from your HS
- awards from activities you actually participated in (aca decath, etc.)</p>
<p>What's so important about a national thing that practicially everyone gets and from an org that has no idea who you personally are?</p>
<p>Well, on this piece of paper I recieved it says I am recieving NHR, whatever it may be, because of an award I recieved from my high school. So that's where my lines of understanding are blurry. Everyone says they don't know you personally, but then how did they know that I won an award from my school paper?</p>
<p>let it rest, makeyourself.</p>
<p>NHR is a scam award. Its tempting to mention it because of how excellent it "sounds" but fight that temptation. Adcom's recognize it as a scam and may even perceive you as lacking in sense and awareness if you list it.</p>
<p>NHR is such a well known worthless award. Did it say what award you received from you hs?</p>
<p>it matters where you are applying...but in the long run.. it means nothing because everyone can get it basically</p>
<p>If have to ask, how prestigious could they be?</p>
