[quote=Anonymous]To echo what's been said above, NHS requirements vary from school to school. You might think about it in terms of how it might fit into your kid's Common App, which permits 5 honors/awards or 10 ECs. As an honor/award, it has little value but it's better than nothing. As an EC, it again depends on the school and what the kid makes of it. My DC's school requires NHS members to create, execute, and present on year-long volunteer projects their junior and senior years. My DC did a pretty cool and time-intensive project over both years. Consequently, DC listed it in the EC section somewhere between activities #7-#9. Anyhow, NHS could certainly help bolster the application of a kid who doesn't have much in the way of ECs or volunteer experience. It can also be a fun, rewarding experience. [/quote]
