<p>I'm well aware of the fact that NHS is not a big thing. However does the lack of NHS on a resume look bad? Does it look bad for a student ranked in the top 10 in a top 100 school in the nation? </p>
<p>I really don't why I was rejected. I met all the requirements and my GPA is only topped by a few people in my school. People ranked 20 below me got in...</p>
<p>No. NHS is used by millions of students that if you don’t get in, then no prob. It’s just like any other club.</p>
<p>Imagine it like this:</p>
<p>Colleges wont look down on you if you haven’t gotten into Model UN, or Key Club, or Chess Club.</p>
<p>lol, don’t worry. The only concerning thing is that the fact that you didn’t get into NHS might indicate that your ECs are lacking. But colleges will look at that for themselves.</p>
<p>Thanks for your advice guys. My main EC is science research. I’ve done over 300 hours of that during my high school time. I’m also president of a club, won awards in multiple competitions, spend hours in martial arts per week (have a 2nd degree black belt), and volunteer at a local hospital. If I do anything more I think I’ll die lol.</p>
<p>Literally what I am going to do is hand in my application, recieve the acceptance letter, scan the letter, and store the letter into the same place I keep my school awards and plaques.</p>
<p>NHS is the “Everyone is an MVP Club” of Overachievers.</p>
<p>I got some mail about some honor society that told me to pay $60 so I was like, yea, no. Then my school has its own NHS thing but the induction is next month and I haven’t been invited even though I have the highest average of my grade :P</p>
<p>I was rejected and I know of two kids in my school who were also rejected, and are currently enrolled at MIT and Cornell. No big deal</p>
<p>Wow youngm that’s very reassuring. Thanks.</p>
<p>It really depends on the school though. My NHS is stupid, and so are a lotta others. People at college admissions know that, and they won’t know if your school is any different.</p>
