<p>I'm in NHS, but for applications that tell you to briefly describe what you have done, I don't know what to write for this. I'm only a member, not an officer, so I guess I could just write pursued scholary interests or something?</p>
<p>don't you volunteer for NHS?</p>
<p>i dont know, we really havent done anything for NHS so far.</p>
<p>Then just write "member." It sounds like you don't do anything except pay membership.</p>
<p>Sounds like I don't do anything. No, let's get one thing straight, the club as a whole doesn't do anything, and there is no membership fee, btw</p>
<p>NHS is the dumbest club ever..at least in my school...they do some community service crap...I tell them to sweep the school for community service..but of course they don't want to help further our education..</p>
<p>NHS at my school does a lot. We have an event almost every week.</p>
<p>From what I hear, NHS is having less and less actual value in an application, because at some schools virtually no work is required. There's no set standard.</p>
<p>For some colleges, just being a NHS member will give you an automatic scholarship -- not a large one, but anything can help. You can Google "guaranteed scholarships" and "college" to find a list that includes some colleges offering scholarships to NHS members.</p>
<p>For most colleges, ECs don't matter at all when it comes to admissions. This particularly is true for public universities, but also is true for probably most private colleges, too. ECs matter for merit aid. The exception is athletics: Public and private colleges can be very flexible when it comes to filling up their football teams.</p>
<p>It's usually only for the very top colleges -- places like HPYS -- that ECs are important factors in admissions. That's because such colleges have such an overabundance of high stat students that the colleges can make selections to create a well rounded class. For these kind of colleges, simply being an NHS member won't matter at all. Virtually all of their applicants qualify for NHS anyway.</p>
