<p>hey, what's up with this award and why is it considered pretty useless? I got it... and still don't even know how for the most part.

<p>yeah, it says only 5% people get it, basically, if you are applying to a top 25 school don't put it on ur app, otherwise I guess it wouldn't hurt, although I don't know much about it besides the fact that it's partially a sales gimmic i heard</p>
<p>any opinions people?</p>
<p>Definitely don't put it under your honors and awards. Although I'm not sure how they select people, I don't think they're very discriminatory. They basically do it so that you'll end up spending tons of money on the book that they offer.</p>
<p>it doesnt hurt to put it. but i dunno. our counselor says its kinda self nominated so. yeah. dont think it hurts. plus it fills one of the slots for awards!!</p>
<p>the adcoms that have visited, most of the ivies, UCs, stanford, northwestern. top 25 schools usually say "dont put whos who that is not an award"</p>
<p>if u have like over a 3.5 unweighted they award u the whos who</p>
