<p>I got some letter in the mail about me being a member of this if i py 45 dollars, does anyone knwo anything about it?</p>
<p>It's a scam, don't waste your money on this resume padder.</p>
<p>Supposedly it's just a scam.
There are at least a dozen threads about this in the past week. Check them out.</p>
<p>yeah, its a scam. if something just right up front asks you for 46 dollars, it's a scam.</p>
<p>Got the same letter today, definately wouldn't waste my money on it though.</p>
<p>Got the same thing sophomore and junior year. It's a scam.</p>
<p>Got the same letter today, I immediately put it in the shredder.</p>
<p>Ha I remember this one from last year. Isn't it the one with all the fluff about Alfred Nobel and prestige of their recommendation letters and such? I tossed it, but it's pretty sad that I know people that think they're getting some sort of advantage.</p>
<p>^^^ yeah, that's the one. I tossed mine out a few days ago.</p>
<p>They have esteemed people on their panel though. So I wouldn't call it a 'scam'.</p>
<p>It's not a scam. There are certain events and advantages to it, but for the most part, it is DEFINITELY useless.</p>
<p>...aren't there like a bunch of scholarships that it opens the doors too? like project abroad and stuff...</p>
<p>it opens the door to nothing. they send it basically to everyone who takes the psat and gives their information.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sounds like the CollegeBoard, if you ask me. ;)</p>
<p>^
lol nice one</p>
<p>Not a scam, just useless. You can get a scholarship, but it's like a lottery drawing.</p>
<p>it's not a scam!</p>
<p>I paid 45 bucks. They gave me a year book with pictures of people I have never seen before. Also, they told me I won a 3000 dollars scholarship! Week later I called them to ask why I haven't received my check yet. Their response? The person with name (JaiXX dXXXX , VERY UNIQUE NAME BY THE WAY) in Texas has cashed the check. ***? This is what happened to me with this B.S. Conartists, they shall burn in heellllll! (woo, I am getting too excited.. I should go to bed..)</p>
<p>My friend didn't appear for SAT or PSAT. Still got an invitation.</p>
<p>strange .</p>
<p>Wow, very weird. I took the SAT frosh year and have been inundated with mail from those types of "organizations" ever since.</p>
