Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I received this in the mail today: "National Dean's List". It says that it is one of the highest academic honors that can be bestowed on college students. Unfortunately I am not in college yet. It claims to have no financial obligation attached. But really, I am not secretly attending a college (my name is printed on the application form). Is it a scam?</p>

2

<p>yup i got this too, i dont tink its a scam cuz i called and cheked the website. but its weird that they give it to incoming freshman who arent college students.... o well</p>

3

<p>They just want you to buy the book.</p>

4

<p>that's what i thought so too, billhpike, but how would you evaluate this list. In terms of college admission, would adcom treat it as a joke?</p>

<p>HAHAHA</p>

5

<p>As a rule of thumb.. anything you didn't apply for/test for usually is a scam.</p>

6

<p>but it could be nomination like Who's Who (which i agree is a scam but its the only example i could think of)</p>

7

<p>It's a scam. Don't bother.</p>

8

<p>Adcoms will laugh at you if you put Who's Who on the top of your list of ECs.</p>

<p>scam alert</p>

10

<p>laughably i don't know what who's who is</p>

11

<p>I linnkt to this anytime anyone mentions Who's Who

<p>Hahahahahah this california girl needs to open her eyes!!!
What an ignorant idiot</p>

13

<p>holy ****
that girl seems like a tool.
ugh do we have another one of those prestigious whores that think berkeley and ucla suck just because they are state schools?!
i am sick and tired of those kind of tools.</p>

<p>do you know where she got accepted, eventually?
i'd laugh my ass off if she got rejected everywhere.
she seems to not know ****.</p>

14

<p>She claims she got into Harvard but no one believes her.</p>

15

<p>**** i just saw .
harvard my ass
as far as i know, she might be doing that to still prove her point since she is so thickheaded.</p>

<p>What about the "all-american scholar" thing?</p>

<p>If they sell $130 books containing the names of the who won it likely means little for college admissions.</p>
