<p>I was recently rejected from the National Honor Society. (I was more than qualified: 4.0 (uw), 6 leadership positions, and 300+ hrs. of community service). However, the deadline for submitting the applications was Thurs., and there was so much stuff going on that week that I totally thought it was due Fri.</p>

<p>After stressing out the entire day, and making numerous calls to my mother to retrieve the rec. letters from the house, I finally got everything in by 12 that day...4 hrs late.</p>

<p>Despite my qualifications, I was rejected. I feel terrible right now b/c I have wanted to be in the society since freshman year. I guess the purpose of this post is that I wanted to let prospective NHS inductees know that the admissions committee is very strict (due to national guidelines) and will not care if you're the validictorian or not if you can't follow their rules.</p>

<p>As another example, this guy got a 1600 in my school on his SATs (the old one, of course...) and he was rejected for a "lack of leadership."</p>

<p>I know for a fact that several qualified students who could really add a lot to the society are rejected each year, and sometimes unjustly so...</p>

<p>thank you for your encouraging comments diablo2 and rexrun. </p>

<p>Looking on the bright side, everyone who applies to any selective school will be qualified enough to be in NHS anyway, so it's pretty much a given...and it's just another line on your activity list...</p>

<p>it's just...i can't believe that this girl who's taking regular, non-honors classes and just does key club can get accepted...
and also...if my mom was home (she left 3 min. before i called her...) then I could have had it in on time... OH WELL....</p>
