<p>I mean, I know NHS looks really good but we don't have one. But we do have CSF (California Scholarship Federation). Will it look the same for colleges.</p>

<p>I think it depends. Almost no school in my district has NHS, but we do have CSF. At my school CSF is basically turning in three dollars and a report card every semester. At another school in my district, it's very active in community service and planning school events.</p>

<p>Don't feel bad about not having a NHS: take a look at this thread,
