[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I look at NHS as more of a box to check. If you’re applying to top schools, it would look odd if you weren’t a member. [/quote] You think AOs with their previous time are going to have that on their list of things to check? I don’t think so. [/quote] :roll: It doesn’t have to be a list — if you’re looking at 10 “qualified” kids from one school and 9 have NHS listed and one doesn’t, it would take you two seconds to see that as you read through the kid’s awards & activities. Obviously not determinative of anything, but since NHS membership requires leadership positions and service hours and no disciplinary infractions, it might be indicative of some lack in those areas. Which is why being able to “check the box” is good. It shows you’ve at least met a minimum standard for those things. It also shows that your kid can at least organize the moderate amount of paperwork required. [/quote]
