National Society of Collegiate Scholars

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello everyone!
I am a sophomore at northeastern, looking to transfer to Emerson. I just received an invitation to join the national society of collegiate scholars. Is this a real thing? Is it worth joining? I have a 3.6, if that matters.</p>

<p>there was a past thread on this exact topic:</p>

<p>IMO, it isnt worth it(i.e. any prestige club that requires an entrance fee is ridiculous)</p>

<p>yeah the NSCS is literally stalking me at this point. they've sent numerous letters to my school and parents, e-mailed me a few times, and keep asking me to respond so they can let me know when the induction ceremony is.</p>

<p>haha, maybe you should tell them you'll join if the admission fee is dropped....then the stalking will cease.</p>

<p>you must've done a really well last semester</p>

<p>My son has been "offered" this honor numerous times--and he (quite properly) just keeps throwing the junk mail away.</p>

<p>P.S. They also try to tell you that if you join and pay the fee then you have a better chance at one of their scholarships. It's basically a different version of that Ghana bank con deal--where they want to share their fortune with you, but you need to give them your bank account number and pay a small "processing" fee of $15,000 upfront before they give you your share of the $20,000,000 lottery win. </p>

<p>Translation: Don't be conned by scammers.</p>
