Can You Add Nshss To College App Reddit

Quote: "Universities and admissions representatives don't recognize NSHSS, so don't list it on your resume."

Response: Since NSHSS and its partners provide real benefits such as more than $2M in scholarships, internships and study abroad opportunities, partner discounts on college prep testing, volunteering opportunities, and leadership programs, all of these items can be added to one's college resume and can certainly enhance one's application. Colleges want to know if a student is serious about their academics and adding these things to their resume will demonstrate the positive characteristics of the student. NSHSS members become part of a built-in community of like-minded peers who are serious about pursuing academic excellence and have high hopes and dreams for their futures. Of course, putting NSHSS alone on one's application does not guarantee entrance into one's college of choice, but putting an honor society down among all the other amazing academic and community involvement on a resume will absolutely demonstrate a highly-motivated student.

Furthermore, NSHSS has earned the support and recognition of numerous renowned and highly-respected universities, governmental leaders, and organizations who believe in its mission to support students in their pursuit of academic achievement and world betterment. These universities and organizations turn to NSHSS for partnerships and collaborations because they know that our amazing members are potentially well suited for their programs and opportunities as well. Our partnerships and collaborators include the U.S. Army, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Our first member event with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital was complete with a panel, pizza party, interactive workshops, and a tour of the hospital. The event was one of the most anticipated of the year: Check out the recap video and professional photography here. Additionally, NSHSS has been vetted by and has had a strong partnership with the CIA since 2013. As a result, the CIA offers NSHSS members recruiting opportunities, internships, full time positions, and scholarships. The CIA has presented at every NSHSS event for the last seven years. See info about the CIA STEM Camp for select NSHSS members at the Langley, Virginia, CIA headquarters, and the organization's participation in our Scholar's Day program.

So it is clear that colleges and universities DO NOT look down upon NSHSS or its members. Our partnerships are expanding and becoming more noteworthy year after year, and we want our current and potential students to be a part of the tremendous growth and notoriety we have acquired over the years and in the years to come.

The Former President of the National Association of College Admissions Counselors (NACAC) Nancy Beane states, "As an educator for 45 years and a college counselor for 28 years, I believe that organizations like NSHSS help students to find their place, to find their voice; and then help them to figure out how they want to contribute to society in the future."
