My English teacher mentioned it. She said it's a ripoff and they just ask you for money.

To clear things up:
NYLC is legit. This is the National Youth Leadership Conference. It's an actual trip to Washington, D.C. and the area to check out how the government works. NHS is legit. This is the National Honor Society. It is accepted by colleges on your transcript and such and it looks pretty good at graduation too [ I think you get some extra cord on your gown or somethign ]. The one you refer to, NSHSS is semi-legit. That's the National Society of High School Scholars. It's legit in the sense that "hey, it's an actual organization" but you should know that it's pretty much a scam. It won't help you much in the terms of transcripts / college applications, but you can go ahead and join it if you want to. While NHS and NYLC are selective in the students they ask to join, I'm pretty sure that NSHSS just sends out hundreds of thousands of invitations to almost all the high school students in the country. ex.1: I know somebody who's 50-year-old mother received an invitation. ex.2: There are eight graders receiving these, for goodness' sake!! They're not even in high school yet! If you can afford it and don't give a darn about throwing money around, you can go and join it. But otherwise, just list on your college app. that you were "invited to join so-and-so" - but then again, some colleges actually tell you not to list organizations like NSHSS on your applications. I got the postcard / letter too. It wasn't actually founded by Claes Nobel - it was founded by James Lewis or something, and I guess Claes is exploiting his Nobel family name to make it seem as if "ohmy! you're getting a mini-Nobel prize!! hooray!" see these links if you want to read more. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=142511 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/archiv...p/t-143002.html |

QUOTE(Sherlock. @ Feb 4 2007, 7:28 PM)  and you brought this topic back up why? Actually, it helps, I think. I got this NSHSS thing again in the mail. I ripped it up as soon as I recieved it.  Though, I could've just drove to downtown Atlanta and went to go see the headquarters. Whatever.

Dude, no one gets partial HOPE. It's all-or-nothing, and 100% based on grades.
I can't tell whether you're trying to vouch for its legitimacy or not. Regardless, though, it sounds pretty pointless. I went to school in metro Atlanta and never heard anything about this. |

Yea this topic is really old. I mean, even I posted in it, which is rare because the grandfathered topics that have been resurfacing recently aren't ones I've posted in. :O
