<p>I have been accepted to Cornell University. Sent in my deposit and are all geared up to go,, but now in on probation for National Honor Society! The letter says if I become exused from the program they will mail my college a letter</p>
<p>I have gotten two complaints, but have no idea where they have came from, but I have not even been written up for anthing!!! My parents are furious because these aligations hold no weight because they have not been documented.. </p>
<p>But anyway what would Cornell do if I got kicked out of NHS will 4 more weeks of school left??</p>
<p>I’d have your parents raise holy hell, on general principals. If you’ve been accused of something, you have the right to face your accuser and defend yourself.</p>
<p>I’m going to guess Cornell cares about 0 on a scale of 0 to 100. NHS is a joke at most schools. The ONLY reason I would potentially have pause is if there was some serious academic integrity violation that is the cause of your probation or you committed a crime of some sort. I’m assuming you’d be aware if those were the sort of allegations you were facing.</p>
<p>First of all, I agree with the others that I don’t think that Cornell will care. However, I think that the possibility of any negative letter from your HS to your College should be taken seriously.</p>
<p>I am a parent – If you were my child, I would make an appointment with the principal to demand to know what complaints had been made, and to demand that no action be taken. Unfortunately, this is the kind of thing that only a parent can do.</p>
<p>Based on other threads about NHS I’ve seen, my guess is you didn’t attend enough NHS meetings or events. The reason they’re sending the letter is that they are trying to scare students into participating. It’s a horrible tactic, especially since more than likely, your admittance to NHS was automatic.</p>
<p>If my guesses are correct, you have nothing to fear and you should have your parents unleash their anger against the school administrators so that whoever is responsible for the letters stops doing stupid stuff like that.</p>
<p>It depends on what the causes were. If it’s just lack of participation, then yeah, it’s meaningless. NHS is totally pointless.</p>
<p>But if you bullied someone or cheated on a test or something, then those acts might cause you some trouble. But if you know you didn’t do those, then you probably have nothing to worry about. That said, it’s weird that the letter didn’t specify what they were.</p>
<p>I am sorry, but the OP’s dillema is really similar to my older brother. He attends Cornell COE, and last year in his senior year, (after he got accepted) he posted pictures of transvestites over the librarians desk (she looks like one and she was a jerk to everyone and him especially) and then facked a sick call at school and got caught and he was suspended and kicked out of NHS. Don’t worry, if that happened to him, and he was just fine, I doubt you are in any actual trouble.</p>
