<p>I have seen this on a lot of 'chances' threads, but i have also heard that it is a total scam...which is it? and what are their selections based on?</p>
<p>It is a SCAM</p>
<p>chances thread are mostly ********, the kids on this site who assess you are generally in a no better position to do so than you are.</p>
<p>I am talking about Who's who among american high school students</p>
<p>Who's Who is sent out to hundreds of thousands of students. Some will choose to pay the money and have their name in a book. Adcoms will not see this as an "honor".</p>
<p>total scam, that has probably made millions and millions off of award hungry teenagers-- good thing this board knows better! :)</p>
<p>its actually free to get your name in the book, they just try to scam you by making you pay to buy the book.</p>
<p>agreed. same with NHSSA or whatever the other honor is</p>
<p>Yes, it's a scam sent out to who knows how many people. </p>
<p>Although hOtIvYlEaGuEwAnNaBecHiCk might say otherwise (although I think we finally convinced her), it's not a hook. :) </p>
