National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) - Worth Joining?

Paying for College
1

<p>I just received a letter in my school mailbox saying that I’ve been accepted for NSCS. I have a few questions that weren’t answered on the site’s FAQ:</p>

<li><p>If my GPA drops below a 3.4 after I’ve been accepted/admitted, will they kick me out?</p></li>
<li><p>Is it worth it? How does it distinguish itself from other programs? I’ve received various invites over my high school career, and wouldn’t be lured into paying the $20 fee to have my name published in a book or what-not… National Honors Society or whatever it is. So am I really going to get anything out of this program? I’m a psychology major, will they be able to hook me up with internships in the future? Because if all I’m gonna get out of this is a name to put on my grad school resume, it’s not worth it to me.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>They must have just made a huge mailing as this topic has come up in several threads over the last week or so. Here is one thread, to see others do a search:</p>

<p>Frame the letter. It's cheaper than paying to be listed in the book.</p>
