Graduation honors/getting into college

[Anonymous]

So happy for the 2021s. Its a really junky senior year, so they deserve all the kudos!!

My Q: As see the pics with the sashes, medals and ropes, I’m trying to learn what the regalia is and then what of this kids need to get into college. What honor societies exist and what is the criteria?

Every school has different criteria for National Honor Society, high honors GPA, etc.

This is way too much information to ask for and be provided here. You need to talk to your kid’s counselor and career center person.

And you can have none of those and get into college

OP - to get into college, you need to pass high school. Even a Standard Diploma, with no advanced classes, no AP classes, no honors, is college-prep. The student would have to be a real outliner to not be accepted to a four year college, somewhere.

Colleges don’t care about honor societies.
