<p>I just got a letter from NSHSS (National Society for High School Scholars) and they are persuading me to pay $50-$60 to join this "society". If I join this club, I apparently get opportunities for scholarships and they claim that their society (NSHSS) looks great on a college transcript.</p>
<p>I want to get into an Ivy League college so will paying and joining NSHSS really help me or is it a scam/waste of time....</p>
<p>I don’t believe that it makes any difference. I received the same letter last year and was told by friends that participating in this is just an opportunity for the program to make money.</p>
<p>Is NSHSS highly respected by colleges since only good academic scholars are invited?? Is it worth the money? Is it actually beneficial when applying for competitive colleges?</p>
<p>It’s a scam…half the students in my school got it too! Save your money. If you google it you’ll see that it’s a scam as well.</p>
<p>My daughter got this in the mail yesterday and sorry to say she is not a “top student”. Feel everyone gets this mailer.</p>
