<p>The National Honors Society of Community Colleges, I would assume would be listed as a National award, but with the revelation the National Honors Society for High Schools is considered a school award is a school award, we are now wondering.</p>
<p>She did get an letter from the national organization (instead of directly from the community college), whereas the High School Honors society invite did come from the school.</p>
<p>Any insight?</p>
<p>Hi Goheelslhd,</p>
<p>I just found your post. My son has exactly the same situation as your D. He took 63 community college credits and will get his AS next may. He is also senior in high school. He told me PTK is counted as school award like NHS.</p>
<p>Do you think AS while in high school let them stand out from a bunch of other high qualified kids?</p>
<p>We can communicate more</p>
<p>We are leveraging it hoping it will be a differentiating factor. She has been taking extraordinary course loads in addition to her other ECs. And accentuating it to show she is taking demanding courses her last year. She could lighten the load and take a couple of courses over the summer ans still get her associates, but she wants the summer “off”. She wants to double major in two areas that can’t be any more different, so she feels getting all these general requirements out of the way will increase her changes of being able to do it in four years and do a couple of study abroads. Her SATs are average but not outstanding and she hopes this shows her drive outweighs subpar SAT scores.</p>
<p>Last summer she took ten hours at the community college, this fall seventeen hours at the CC with her final English at the high school, and will be taking twenty in the spring with an high school elective course. Since the high schools only gives them honors weighting (instead of AP weighting) and she has struggled in a couple of courses, her GPA is a mixed bag – 3.6 unweighted, 4.5 weighted.</p>
