i got this thing in the mail over a month ago stating that they are a nationally known organization that has been in service for many years. it says congrats to me for receiving this honor for performing excellent academically for the year of (05'-06'). They say to recognize and honor the students properly, they offer an entire program of valuable educational services for those who accept their nominations; and only 5% of the nations' high school students receive this honor.

i asked people about it and few have even heard about it. and on top of that i got C's and B's, performing well academically? i dont think so (its senior yr for me, lazyness is getting to me) i do have some ap classes though
you can know more about them at www.whoswho-highschool.com

has anybody else received such a thing??

it's basically a scam for your money.
i think you need to pay them something.

A LOT of kids get that, so it's nothing to boast about, but i guess it's still an accomplisment -- to some degree anyway.

Yes, when I was in highschool, they eventually asked me for my money. It's nothing too great. Even my ex bf got one, who had a GPA less than 2.0

[dancing_pickle]

i got a letter from them too.
Don't trust those organizations. they only want your money

[cyberfruit]

I did but I didn't apply for it since you had to pay money and believe me, a lot more than 5% of HS students get it.

[TiFFaNiZeD]

my brother got it....but he didnt do anything with it lol

[sphynkter]

i got it too but i figured i didn't really care about getting into some book. they keep pushing you to buy it. i wanted to see to what point they would say "you must pay $_.__ to proceed. but i got lazy

[LDYxCR1STAL]

i got it too, but i knoe this one girl who actually paid for it, but in the supposed "yearbook" or whatever, there was no picture, no nothin`. js her name maybe? or somethin` like that

i say that sendin` them money will prollliiieee not benefit yu in any way.

[angelicXD]

haha I apply mine but I didn't order anything. I just put free there. lol so It's a scam. shoot, I shouldn't have trust them.

[foeshunkooky]

oh i used to get a whole bunch of those "awards." whenever i got one in the mail, i'm like COOL! and then i saw that there was a fee, then i was like NOT SO COOL... yea as everyone said, it's a scam

[XX3CHUNSA]

i didnt, but my brother did, which doesnt make sense because no offense to him, hes not as smart as me, and doesnt do any sports/extra currs.

[joonage]

I got them ...

All I do is fill it out ... then check the "just print my bio" which costs no money ...

but ... I never send it in the mail .... hahaha

I'm not wasting $50 on that crap ... xD

[josebiwasabi]

don't do it. it's a waste.

[drawkcab]

Like most people have already said, they make money off of their merchandise such as the yearbook, plaques, college reporting, etc, but you don't have to pay a penny for receiving the "honor," as long as you fill out the paperwork, your name will still appear on the yearbook. I've sent in paperwork a few years ago without paying anything and now they still keep sending me stuff in the mail to buy their products. IMO I think it's a waste of time unless you want to see your name on the book. I came across their yearbook at my school library and the names are like in a 7 point font with literally thousands of other names.

[H1PP0]

lol i got those too. i was all excited hah they make you sound like you're special. i nvr paid i believe?

[candymoon]

i got it tooo... like 5 of them.

they just want to make $$$

Lol that's what I did. I actually sent the thing to see if it was legit and they sent me an order form for a $15 graduation cord.

Foreal, this organization is retarded.

[sonhyangel]

yeah.. i got that--think its from joinging key club, cause some of my friends that are way smarter than me didn't get it..

i just checked the free one and sent it back in...

[touche`]

yeah, I get those crap. I don't care anyways.
