National Society of Collegiate Scholars

<p>Got this letter saying I was nominated for this. Says it's for fresh/sophs. Anybody else get it? Is it legitimate, or is like that stupid who's who high school? How many people get nominated?</p>

<p>I saw another thread on this somewhere on CC just recently, dont remember which forum</p>

<p>I don't know, but I joined it and paid the fee. I think it's top 15 percent or something like that, top 20% maybe?</p>

<p>you PAID?? isn't it kind of fishy when they tell you to PAY $$?
well i got this thing, and i don't remember what it was called, but they wanted me to pay $40, and i was like.. HELL NOOOOO im not paying for anything!</p>

<p>I thought it sounded like a scam (National Honor Society, anyone?) so I just trashed it.</p>

<p>there's a facebook group with the same name --> semi-reputable?</p>

<p>I posted the same question about a week back.</p>

<p>I really don't know...</p>

<p>well this one's not $40, it's $75, which is pretty pricey.. it seems legit but is it worth actually joining?</p>

<p>they are holding a meeting this Thursday, May 6th at 6:30 PM in 220 Wheeler. i guess if you're thinking about joining, go and ask some questions and find out what it's all about.</p>

<p>Hmm, it was my dad's credit card so who cares.</p>

<p>Anyway, I joined another one. It's called "Golden Key international honor society," which I've actually previously heard about. </p>

<p>I think it's for people with junior and senior status and in the top 15% of your class.</p>

<p>Have you guys heard of this too? Is this legitimate?</p>

<p>(And how is 40 dollars even that much? geeeeeeez..u pay 1100 bucks a month dorming)</p>

<p>"it was my dad's credit so who cares."</p>

<p>lol :D</p>

<p>NeedAdvice: well, in that sense $40 isn't all that much, but I wouldn't really want to throw the $ away in the air without getting nothing out of it..
why spend $40 for no reason when you can do something that actually benefits you??? hmmmm? seriously.</p>

<p>nah there is a benefit, even if slight: graduate school applications.At least they'd realize you were in honor societies.</p>

<p>if i weren't applying to grad school though, i might have not joined.</p>

<p>ur funny needadvice</p>
