national society of collegiate scholars

<p>So i was invited to join the national society of collegiate scholars and im not sure if its really worth it. Though it is a one time fee of 75 dollars, i just dont believe that it is anything oh so great. Im a sophomore in college doing pre med and focused on getting into medical school. I realize that i do need to do things to build a impressive resume but i would think that shadowing, working in a health care field, and doing community service would look better than this little society that im paying to be a part off. honestly, i feel like its just a scam, what do you think?</p>

<p>I agree. I was invited to join something similar (phi eta sigma) and my parents wanted me to, but I told them I wasn't unless they paid. Guess it wasn't worth it to them haha.</p>

<p>But really, you don't need to pay for a line on your application to reaffirm what schools already know (that you have good grades).</p>

<p>Did you do a Google search for "national society of collegiate scholars"?</p>

<p>Basically, the organization just wants your money. No one cares one whit about this national society. Put it on your resume and people are more likely to ask you what it's about than to be impressed.</p>

<p>Almost everyone I know received it, regardless of their academic performance. It's kind of a 'scam' spin-off of NHS. If they ask for money, not worth it...</p>
