<p>So at my school the requirement to get into NHS is a 3.50 (unweighted) or a 3.84 (weighted). The application process is long and very extensive so I'm assuming not many people qualify due to the community service aspect. Keeping these conditions in mind, is NHS something I could possibly list on a college application?</p>
<p>Not at all, just about everyone is in it by senior year. You could list it, but it probably won’t help much.</p>
<p>(Full disclaimer: I am in my school’s NHS)</p>
<p>A <em>lot</em> of people do NHS – so it isn’t necessarily unique or prestigious, but list it by all means, especially if you are heavily involved in it - however; none of the students in the top 10 of my graduating class are in NHS and they’ll are snagging ivy/ivy-esque acceptances - it isn’t going to put your application over the top; its just a club like most other things. Don’t dwell too much on it. </p>
<p>OKAY. I’M FREAKING OUT. So I left a form with an Adviser for an organization I volunteer at a few days ago. So the adviser spilled water on it (only a small circle though). Will I not be accepted if I turn in a form like that? It really feels unprofessional. What should I do??</p>
<p>It probably doesn’t matter, but you could make a photocopy.</p>
<p>My school didn’t even have NHS. I got into every school I applied to. By what I’ve heard my classmates say, it wasn’t a unique title. So, to me, all it sounds is like something extra to put onto your list of “useless” titles on your college application, something admission officers are well aware of. It definitely won’t hurt to have the title, but I doubt it would be of any help either.</p>
<p>List it, of course, but don’t expect to get anything because of it. Pretty much everyone is in NHS, so the only benefit to listing it is so that you won’t stick out for NOT having it. At my school we don’t really do anything - its just an annoying organizations with meetings you have to attend every other week.</p>
<p>It depends on how involved you are in NHS. If you’re an officer and you use NHS to spearhead some community service project that sends (insert educational item here) to (insert impoverished country/continent here) and the project is fairly successful, you could list it. </p>
<p>NHS is a cult. You have to go through an initiation process once accepted and have to swear and abide by the strict consitition set by NHS. NHS is more of a self pride thing and a clique of smart students.</p>
<p>NHS doesn’t even do anything in my school, and they let pretty much everyone in except the most qualified students</p>
<p>Don’t waste your time unless you have a leadership position or enjoy it</p>
<p>The only thing the NHS does at my school is do their required extra community service hours. They barely meet.</p>
