<p>About 30 kids are in it. You need a 3.95 to get in. Most people with that will get in, but if you miss a meeting or don't volunteer you get kicked out.</p>
<p>But that was because of their stupid transfer student policy. You would have gotten in if that hadn't applied...</p>
<p>It's relatively easy to get invited to apply NHS at my school, but it's really hard to be accepted. Mainly due to crazy community service requirements.</p>
<p>It is incredibly easy to be in my schools NHS. You have a 3.0 and your in.</p>
<p>My school's NHS is a complete crapshoot. Officially you need a 3.5GPA and have to write an essay, but some truly amazing people have been turned down and there are some NHSers in there that have you scratching your head as to how they got in. The sponsor probably throws darts to determine whether or not you're in.</p>
<p>our NHS is so not selective. there were only SIX people who applied for NHS this year, and all 6 were inducted.</p>
<p>yea out nhs is <strong><em>...our requirement is a 4.0 gpa out of 6.0...how *</em></strong> is that...at first i got rejected but then i appealed and got in...but its crazy how they accept anyone...and for some people all they do is completely bs their application and get in...the people dont even check to see if the application is legit...complete ***</p>
<p>aaahh...nvm...i love nhs...rejected, appealed, won appeal, decided to run for something 5 minutes before the election...improvised my whole speech on the spot...and won secretary...mock</p>
<p>these are the times that make me smile</p>
<p>Haha...heck no. Selevtive NHS? It doesn't make sense. Everyone who really wants to get into NHS does, as well as a large number of people who don't want to.</p>
<p>I'm not very well informed about NHS, but a good number of the seniors I know are in it. Not very difficult or selective.</p>
<p>wow so i recently found out all the people who made NHS at my school...it is certainly a crapshoot. (the application for NHS was 2 recommendations, a packet to fill out regarding extracurric activities and community service, and a 150-200 word essay) some people who i thought were definitely going to get in did NOT, whereas there were others who i was so surprised got in</p>
<p>3.8 weighted GPA on a screwed up and inflated scale to be "invited" to apply--and then they take everyone.</p>
<p>how useless</p>
<p>my school is kind of biased, it's all by teacher recommendation and u supposedly can't apply for it. my school values like leadership, servant leader, academic (GPA 3.5+), and another similar trait, but then this year it picked a student who was suspended for 2~3 months in freshman year -.- and o yea he wasn't in any student council, or any sports team captain... not to mention everyone else who got in, they don't have any leadership trait nor did they participate in any community service.
NHS is a gimmick. it should have some set standard.</p>
<p>Lol, NHS selection at my school is screwed up. The most deserving person I can think of (aka pekingnese09) got rejected on a technicality.</p>
<p>All you need here is a 3.8 W GPA to apply (which, trust me, at my school is not that hard.) However, it's a bit selective- my friend who had a lot going for her didn't get in because she didn't take any honors courses as a freshman (her counselor didn't let her for some odd reason). She applied twice and was rejected both times. </p>
<p>But our NHS is all right. We just do a couple of things and here and there.</p>
<p>mine is really tough, you need a 3.5 then you have to do a whole bunch of crap like essays and recommendations. If your lucky the check your background and by then only like 30 people out of 300 are left,then you have to actually work. It pretty much sucks.</p>
<p>At my school, the teacher sponsor figures out who the top 15% of the class are and invites them to join. No app process. A lot of people get in who probably shouldn't. Very limited time commitment.</p>
<p>we just had our induction "ceremony" tonight...</p>
<p>/random input.</p>
<p>I remember one of my friends volunteered as an EMT for around 20 hours a week. He got into NHS due to this activity. He also got kicked about because his 20 hours a week of volunteer work made it so he missed occasional meetings.</p>
