[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Following up on the National Honor Society. Yes, it may be a dime a dozen kind of honor and not all that prestigious compared to other honors that are harder to achieve, but it's still important to get and list it (even if it's at the bottom of the awards list), and here's why -- if you're eligible and *don't* have it, it may raise eyebrows. NHS chapters can decline to extend invitations to kids based on character, so not having it when all the other applicants from your school have it may raise a red flag. It's better not to raise that potential red flag in the first place, particularly as it's such an easy lift for a kid with good grades.[/quote]

What absolute nonsense.  No one cares.[/quote]

I have to agree. It will not raise eyebrows in the context of the entire application and recommendations.[/quote]

You do you, but the thread asked for advice from professional college advisors, and this came from a professional college advisor.[/quote]

If he said NHS was important, then he is a bad professional college advisor.[/quote]
