<p>What do you do in the NHS?
Is it good for college applications?
Whats the advantage??</p>
<p>There is 0 advantage unless if you do something with it, such as becoming an officer or starting an initiative. </p>
<p>Also, it is another “line” on your application. If you are applying to top schools, admission officers could feel as if something was missing…</p>
<p>You get a triangle around your gown when you graduate. you get to wear a national honor society t-shirt.</p>
<p>but thats about 100% of applicants applying to top schools</p>
<p>It depends on what you do in the program. I’m an officer at my school, so I’m actually heavily involved in NHS. But, if you just go to meetings, NHS probably won’t matter much for college apps.</p>
<p>I think if you are a top student who doesnt do NHS it is more of a red flag/ding</p>
<p>Why crystal? If I was an admissions officer, I wouldn’t care less whether someone signed up to be a part of a resum</p>
<p>Being in NHS isn’t important in and of itself. As others have said, you could make it matter. But that wouldn’t offer any real advantage over having made your involvement with the track team matter, or madrigals, or debate, or your paid job.</p>
<p>But I disagree with crystal: not being in NHS isn’t important, either</p>
<p>I disagre w/crystal as well. I was frankly too busy to join just another club. No NHS for me. No rejections come April either. </p>
<p>“red flag”---- pfft.</p>
