I currently have dropped being part of NHS as I see it as another community service club. When evaluating the club I didn’t really feel passionate or excited about it. Was I wrong for doing this ?
I don’t think so. My daughter just did the same thing. NHS was a lot of work, it wasn’t very interesting to her and she prefers to spend her time on other things. From your other post, you have a lot of very interesting and significant ECs, so this should not matter. Just be ready to explain if someone asks (I’m assuming it will show on your transcript - it will be a W for my daughter).
Depends on what the “cost” is to be “worth” it. Our NHS requires nothing but volunteer hours, so most students can remain active by default. If it’s truly “a lot of work” and you get nothing out of it, then no, it’s not worth it.
Unless you’re in a leadership role, NHS doesn’t really carry much more weight than other school clubs. If there are other things you can do that are more interesting, they certainly sound like a better choice for your efforts.
D20 really wasn’t interested in “forced” community service (she needed to work a certain number of hours in chapter sponsored events in addition to outside things she was interested in). A teacher friend told me she needed to do it anyway because selective colleges will see there is a chapter at the school in the school report and if they see a student doesn’t belong, they assume the student had a disciplinary or academic dishonesty issue that made it so they couldn’t be in it. D became a member, did the required work and was admitted to a selective college.
Baloney, IMHO. Admissions officers aren’t going to assume the very serious issue of academic dishonesty, which is not documented on a student’s record, based on a missing club name.
