It is a real business and it is in fact just that, a business. It's a pay to play organization.Its a for profit corporation. They send me letters twice a year, and I have friends with terrible GPAs that have been invited. They are not very selective at all. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but, this is just a business looking to make a profit.
@@aim4grace97 my main question before I spend like $100 on this. Do they provide a lot of scholarships? A certification is a certification, it can be done somewhere else and also it still has to be re-certified. If there are plenty of scholarships then I’ll join
@@g_factking And still is only a 1 time fee. This is not true at all. Only selected students earn their invitations. If their GPA drops from the minimum requirement of a 3.0 the student’s GOA must be reviewed by its institution to ensure they still meet the minimum requirements. Sometimes, people luck up and not go through the reevaluation. Students can also receive invitations based on their “Leadership Potential” given that’s what this organization is all about.
Hey Mariah! I encouraged my son to join the NSLS after seeing your induction ceremony video. It's a really great program! You are an excellent spokeswoman for the organization and I think they should give you a job. Your comments are appreciated. Hope you're doing well these days. Take care!
@@flamingBBQ22 From my understanding, those are optional, as you can stop at any level you complete and receive an award/certification for each of the 3 levels: foundational, advanced, and executive. I believe the last two are currently bundled together as a package for a discount if you choose to pay for both, but you start off with the foundational level after receiving your invitation to enroll for that $95. That's why they give you the option to purchase the advanced and executive leadership certifications with a "No Thanks" option during checkout. I could totally be wrong, but that's just my understanding in case people wanted to get further certification!! I just completed their orientation quiz for the foundational level and am awaiting to hear back after it's approved so I can go on to the training day stuff! I'm waiting to speak to my advisor next week before I make any further purchases for the NSLS. I wish you luck on your academic journey to success!
Just to expand on this. There is a one-time fee after accepting your invitation. Some other Greek letter organizations have annual fees to be considered an “active” member. Only selected students earn their invitations. If their GPA drops from the minimum requirement of a 3.0 the student’s GPA must be reviewed by its institution to ensure they still meet the minimum requirements. Sometimes, people luck up and not go through the reevaluation process. Students can also receive invitations based on their “Leadership Potential” given that’s what this organization is all about. Potential future leaders that have showed some form of strong leadership qualities. ❤️ I hope this helps people with a little more clarity. ΣΑΠ🔴⚫️
It is a scam. They arent accredited and they are for profit. Their main priority is making money. Real honor societies are actually accredited and are non profit. Stop letting ignorant people manipulate you and do research yourself.
Thank you for making this video because I was skeptical. I just received a nomination also and I will be accepting it now because I've seen a couple of videos on this now. I'm glad I checked on this because I really wasn't sure. But I feel secure now accepting this invitation. And yes it is from an NSLS not just honor society. Thank you so much for that tip.
I was skeptical in the beginning but after further research I decided to join. This video confirms that it was the right decision even further. The NSLS’s goal is to craft future leaders of tomorrow. You don’t do that by sitting still. Go through the processes and you will gain valuable information and resources. You will gain confidence and networking opportunities. You’ll get the push that some of us need to make a difference in the world. I just completed my Executive Leadership certification through them and it was one of the most humbling and rewarding experiences I’ve been through. I’ll close out with this, my very first live broadcast was with Mark Cuban. I participated and got a really great shoutout from Mark and even won the “logo or no-go” game we were playing. That alone, made the initial sign up worth it for me. Having the opportunity to talk to leaders like this is an amazing experience. I look forward to speaking with Bill Gates as well.
Oh boy! Don’t sit still! Pull that wallet out and pay up! Ffs if you need this organization to call yourself a leader and to “network” then you should just work at McDonald’s
NSLS sent me one for the Fall, but I graduated this Spring and I already belong to a honor's society. They also stated that my status at my former university as a honor student is why I received the invitation. To my knowledge, i didn't graduate with honors so I'm confused.
Approx. 5% of undergrad and graduate level students may receive an invite. 5% of the undergrad and graduate level population is still a large number of students, though, the top 5%.
My school just started NSLS and I’m pretty glad I joined! Just finished the 3 steps to induction and will be participating in our eboard as a secretary for next semester.
Thanks a lot for this video. I ended up on Reddit everybody said it looked sketchy and I was about to ignore it. Thanks for talking about your experience I’m gonna give it a try too.
You’re brilliant & hilarious! 😂🙌 I just received my invitation, and of course, I’m researching it. So I really appreciate you taking the time to provide an honest breakdown. 🙏
Thanks for the video! I had never heard of the NSLS until today when I got the invitation. I am a recovering heroin addict but In my third year of college. A select few of my professors actually know about my past. I have had all A's since I started but I am a shy person. Being nominated for something with "leadership" in the title leads me to believe that overcoming my past has something to do with the nomination, not my leadership capabilities. So my question, have you known many soft-spoken people to join the NSLS thrive there? I don't seem to fit in anywhere I go, so I am weary. I only have a couple of weeks and I am exploring my options. Thanks again! ♥️
Hello, thank you for clearly things up for me about the NSLS. I got an invitation and I had no idea what this organization was and if it was serious or not. Question, if a running start student receives an invitation, are they able to join and is it worth it to apply at this young of an age?? Thanks again for making this video!!
I live in Georgia, so I’m not sure what running start is. However, using context, is this a high school student who is dual enrolled in college? If so, I think that’ll be great to get involved early! Because if you are a junior in high school, that would make you a junior in college when you graduate. Then, you’ll only have 2 years in your membership if you wait that long.
Thank you for this video. I just joined this summer and didn’t get the tshirt and packet that they had said I would get in the mail so I ignored it totally and figured I had just joined a scam. I didn’t know I should be participating and didn’t even know there was an app or anything. I’m sure I would know more about it if I was on campus this semester, but with COVID, I’m living in my hometown doing school fully online.
It sounds like you’re also expressing the importance of fully capitalizing on all of the resources the membership provides, and that makes sense. Thanks again for the great advice, and for quelling my trepidation, Mariah! 😎🙏
Do I have to do a lot of public speaking? I was nominated but only want to join for scholarships so my tuition can be paid 💀. I'm not interested in doing a lot of talking.
It is not accredited. It's basically worthless. They even offer it to C level students. A for profit organization that is trying to separate you from your money. Hard Pass!!!
This has helped me so much . I only wanted to join just to wear a stole for graduation 😂 I’m glad i came across this so next time i get that email I’m signing up
Hello Mariah, I just joined, I read a bunch of comments complaining about the $95, but come on! People spend more than that drinking and smoking in a day, so why not spend it on something useful that will help you make more than $95 in the future!!!! Thanks for the video it is informative!!
I have been out of school for four years and they sent me one. I turn it down cause I was broke at the time. I also didn't understand why I was pick cause I though you had to have a high GPA.
I got nominated, but I am staying at home for the semester due to Covid. Do you know how the induction ceremony will be coordinated for the students that are currently distance learning?
Congratulations on your nomination! I haven’t been in school for one whole year now, so I’m sorry that I have no idea. I believe most schools do have these alternatives. Check with your chapter’s president.
@@MariahJackson, I was chosen and I didn't join. I didn't have any money. I was afraid it was a scam as well. They were a year ago. I kept the paper as a keepsake though. I felt bad now.
Thank you I thought this was a scam and so many of my classmates keep saying not to join it. But I am really thinking about it. I was worried that there were a lot of hidden fees. Even though you said it was a one time fee to pay. Where there any other fees? This was a great video thank you!
Janelle Thompson Yes, one-time fee! Other fees will be things you may want like your grad set, a bottle, book bag or something. Keep in mind tho, I’m in South Georgia. It may be different where you are. Talk to the president of your NSLS chapter! I wish you the best with making your decision!
I am currently enrolled at a community college and received a letter saying I was invited to NSLS but I plan on transferring to a different college for my last 2 years to get my bachelor's. My question is if I accept the invitation is it a one-year thing, or does it last through the time I'm in college and will stay with me if I transfer colleges.
You had me at the travel trip discounts as now I am curious. Will depend on if I get credits for doing it because wherever I go I plan to speak the language so as to improve fluency.
You get what you pay for. Any honor society that accepts freshmen with a 2.3 gpa is a scam. Give me stinking break. Ok maybe scam is too much. But cmon man an honor society that accepts first year students carrying close to a “get out of here” gpa? Cmon man. Oh and it’s 175 now.
Thank you for your honesty about the process and staying involved to get the most out of it, I was recently nominated and accepted the invitation today, I look forward to what it can offer with leadership growth and development.
do you know what happens to your membership after you graduate? like do you still have to do stuff for the society or is it all complete once you’re a graduate?
I still have access to everything as a graduate. If you put it on your resume, you might get job hits. I gained someone on my reference list just because he found this video! He was apart of it in school, too. He’s a director at one of the departments of my local city government. So, I’m grateful he found this video after looking me up lol
Yes it’s a business (just like your school) but if you’re someone who’s trying to study into a specific profession I think joining the NSLS could help. If you have no volunteer experience or organizations under your belt, for some reason I do believe having something is better than nothing when it comes to strengthening your application packet
thanks for the informative video. i got one of those emails too. apparently my college just started a NSLS chapter. They seem like a legit honors society with some legit benefits but with that being said i wont be joining, mainly because im a senior and i will graduate in like 8 months, not worth it. If i was "selected" to join back when i was a freshman then i probably would of joined.
I was nominated, reality of it is that I’m really only interested if they can actually help me through funding. I doubt it, but it would be really cool if NSLS could fund/ sponsor my projects. I do research privately in biology and engineering technology. That stuff gets expensive so it would be nice if NSLS could help with that.
Thank you for this informative video about NSLS. I just got nominated from my college to participate in NSLS and luckily for me, my college is going to waive the application fee to join.
@@Chelsea-nd4fm Depending on your College, Your Associated Student Government Organization might be able to assist with the cost of the membership fee through a "grant".
It requires only a 2.75 GPA... it's not worth it... there is nothing special about it. Aim higher and go for national honors societs in your degree, education, etc.
I was sent a fancy letter by my university that I was nominated by my university to join NSLS. From my understanding, your school has to nominate you in order to join NSLS.
No, I have never received job information through NSLS, but work leads, pretty much. I have one reference networked through NSLS (Being transparent). However, I never used their resources. A department head of my company looked me up, saw my 1st video and reached out to me!
No dumb questions here! That’s actually a good question. It would probably be a lengthy answer, but I’ll try my best to keep it short. Your academic and professional resume can be the same thing. You will need an “Education” section on a professional resume that you will use to get jobs. If you need a resume to get into a certain college or college group/society, it will more than likely be different than your professional resume unless you haven’t worked anywhere. NSLS can be listed under Education included in a paragraph about your school. Or in a separate section dedicated to your extracurricular activities/organizations. If you were president for your college, you will definitely want to include that in it’s own section. NSLS can go in this section.
@@nowrinafsana498not a scam but dont expect life changing and harvard benefits. Many organizations besides greek and governing associations operate as a business. Use it as a plus to your resume. Ive been invited 3 times from 2 schools. I may join. Only because i want to participate in something before its too late and put on my resume. They prob are involved on campus like career day, day trips, volunteering but not extensively as other organizations
Much appreciated, this was my second invitation I disregarded the first one but hearing it from you I would consider the second invitation plus you also cute lol...
I just got invited through mail and it specifically said it’s going to be virtual now ☺️ Granted, I am in Online Courses because of the nature of my degree. Cyber security. I believe it will all be virtual now. But as Mariah said, I would reach out and ask.
Lol, I really appreciate this video, thank you very much 🙏🏻. If you're still answering comments (kind of doubt it because this was a year ago) how much did you have to pay initially? I'm really considering accepting, but I don't know if I have enough.
So i am currently in community college and I got nominated for this. Would I still get scholarships if from this program if I transfer to a University?
I just got an invitation to the NSLS and was wondering if they give scholarships to universities not just community colleges? Also, congratulations on your acceptance to The NSLS!
Hey, don’t know if you’re going to see this but I’d like to ask: if i were to join nsls do i have to put in work? Or can i just register with the invitation, do nothing, and be considered a member? im a pre med student and dont really have time for all that, but I think it would help my resume out.
You’ll need volunteer hours & to attend a couple events. I wasn’t pre-med, but I was really busy in college. Therefore, it took me like a year to finish all the requirements
I’m not sure how to answer your question. You will have to pay money for the trip, but they’re always scholarships & grants available when you study abroad. So, the price your chapter quotes you may not be the price you pay. Lol I’m not sure if my answer helped
Thank you! I just ignored the email from my college because I thought this was the same program as “ Honor Society” that used to spam me 24/7 in Highschool.
Hello! Is the NSLS accredited educational institution where you can earn 4 college credits when enrolling in Part 2 and 3 worth it?? Im in the middle of applying and I don't know if I should enroll for that or not?..
Not fake in the sense it exists, but it's a shameless money grab designed to make students feel important. You go on to insult people saying they're just jealous they didn't get "invited", but it's not very exclusive. They want to sell you more junk and classes. They also have an "online chapter". LOL. The fact that so many people have to ask if it's legit says a lot. Try Phi Theta Kappa, Phi Beta Kappa, or at least Phi Kappa Phi for something that has legitimacy and a reputation to be respected.
Absolutely agree this seems so sketch… I’m part of PTK and actually got a lot of benefits that didn’t require me to pay extra. My school even offered to pay the students membership fee if they couldn’t afford it.
@@VndNvwYvvSvv I definitely didn’t take full advantage of all the benefits but I did use their volunteer opportunities to help me stand out when transferring, my chapter advisor was also one of my previous professors so when she wrote me letters of recommendation she mentioned both how I did in class and what I did in PTK. That same chapter advisor also nominated me to receive the Texas-Academic Team Award. At this time I wasn’t involved in a lot of stuff at my community college so PTK helped me look better and get accepted to my current university. Additionally PTK also offers travel discounts and various scholarships. The student president is someone many of my friends knew from high school and she received the same award as me and also reaped many other benefits I didn’t take advantage of.
Man that one comment bout them was just cruel. And I was recently invited and I am proud of myself for that.....oh I also made the deans list this spring so if anyone e think that's fake plz let me know... thank u for this video!
@@jchemnix1918 actually no they won't. I talked to my advisor and they have nothing to do with the NSLS at school. All they can tell me is how to get in contact with there services
@@GuyWhoLikesfunnystuff7 if your school has nothing to do with it, then imo, its not worth signing up for it. You should rather look for societies that are at least connected to your school.
@@jchemnix1918 it's from my school dummy. There two separate entities. Meaning my advisor can't give me specifics on when the ceremony is, what time, things like that. There associated with schools not apart of schools
@@jchemnix1918 I goto a private school where there is two different business schools in the university and one migrated from Japan to be apart of the university. NSLS is apart of the school but not part of the school if that makes sense

Thank you kindly for this honest review Mariah! I do appreciate you!
This is the fakest comment section in the world who bought all these comments
thank you for your comment, I have my confirmation that I should not join this chapter.
Ikr, they all sound the same
"Oh I was Sooooo skeptical but your video helped Sooooo much I can't wait to spend $90 and become a Member!"
wait so the "750,000" scholarship is not really true? unless you qualify for the scholarship? so really its not even wirth it...
thanks for the informative video. i got one of those emails too. apparently my college just started a NSLS chapter. They seem like a legit honors society with some legit benefits but with that being said i wont be joining, mainly because im a senior and i will graduate in like 8 months, not worth it. If i was "selected" to join back when i was a freshman then i probably would of joined.
I was nominated, reality of it is that I’m really only interested if they can actually help me through funding. I doubt it, but it would be really cool if NSLS could fund/ sponsor my projects. I do research privately in biology and engineering technology. That stuff gets expensive so it would be nice if NSLS could help with that.
after 11 months, did you ever benefit from the NSLS? i'm still trying to figure out what's up with this, and your info can help me a lot
When she says “attend meetings”, means finding time to watch a prerecorded guest speaker seminar.
I can probably find the same speech on RUclips 😂
Question, Mariah Jackson. Do You have to travel to attend the conferences?
No you don’t, but I’m sure they are some optional conferences that require travel.
@@MariahJackson Thank You, I'm all in.
Thank you for this informative video about NSLS. I just got nominated from my college to participate in NSLS and luckily for me, my college is going to waive the application fee to join.
How did you get your college to waive your fee??
@@Chelsea-nd4fm Depending on your College, Your Associated Student Government Organization might be able to assist with the cost of the membership fee through a "grant".
It requires only a 2.75 GPA... it's not worth it... there is nothing special about it. Aim higher and go for national honors societs in your degree, education, etc.
I was sent a fancy letter by my university that I was nominated by my university to join NSLS. From my understanding, your school has to nominate you in order to join NSLS.
Apparently they send it to nearly everyone, since there is bo way 3.3 gpa 17 years old (me) would be invited to a legitimate honors society.
Hi Mariah! I'm a senior at Rhode Island College and just became a member. Have you received job information or work leads through NSLS as a member?
No, I have never received job information through NSLS, but work leads, pretty much. I have one reference networked through NSLS (Being transparent). However, I never used their resources. A department head of my company looked me up, saw my 1st video and reached out to me!
I am so upset I ignored the email from NSLS.
How are the meeting? Do you get assigned any homework?
Thank you for making this review. It's helped me decide to join.
how was it for you?
“Is it real? Yes.”
Me: “So I am special!!”
I still don’t feel special btw
Heyy! I recently accepted my nomination, how long did it take for them to send you your Member ID?
Wow, sorry for the late reply! I hope you’re enjoying!
I was nominated twice. I missed the deadline for the spring. I just renominated for the fall
THANK YOU for this. It was very informative. Congratulations on graduating!
Thank you sister I just got a letter and also an email inviting me to join. God bless
you and be safe there!!!
NSLS on a resume...(stupid question, but I'm kinda dumb so....) is this like an academic resume or a work? No one ever explained this too me.
No dumb questions here! That’s actually a good question. It would probably be a lengthy answer, but I’ll try my best to keep it short. Your academic and professional resume can be the same thing. You will need an “Education” section on a professional resume that you will use to get jobs. If you need a resume to get into a certain college or college group/society, it will more than likely be different than your professional resume unless you haven’t worked anywhere. NSLS can be listed under Education included in a paragraph about your school. Or in a separate section dedicated to your extracurricular activities/organizations. If you were president for your college, you will definitely want to include that in it’s own section. NSLS can go in this section.
I can’t believe I was accepted. I’m still going to ask additional information from my school because I’m skeptical about it.
Heyy i also got nominated. Since your comment is from a year ago, I would really appreciate it if you could tell me if it's a scam or not. Thank you !
@@nowrinafsana498 is not scam I got invited too and I accepted
@@nowrinafsana498not a scam but dont expect life changing and harvard benefits. Many organizations besides greek and governing associations operate as a business. Use it as a plus to your resume. Ive been invited 3 times from 2 schools. I may join. Only because i want to participate in something before its too late and put on my resume. They prob are involved on campus like career day, day trips, volunteering but not extensively as other organizations
Much appreciated, this was my second invitation I disregarded the first one but hearing it from you I would consider the second invitation plus you also cute lol...
Lol thanks
Why would an actually prestigious society invite you twice?
Idk if I should with covid how will that work
I completely understand! Email your chapter about virtual options. If they are none, protect yourself first!!
I just got invited through mail and it specifically said it’s going to be virtual now ☺️ Granted, I am in Online Courses because of the nature of my degree. Cyber security. I believe it will all be virtual now. But as Mariah said, I would reach out and ask.
Great video! Did you have to pay for the medallion and stole? or did they send it to you?
Yeah, I bought it.
Let’s say you have high student loans but are considering graduate school. Would this organization help make that happen?
Thanks for this, I thought it was a scam...
They also write ✍️🏾 out letters of recommendation for jobs for you free. It's been a while since I've seen all the stuff they do for their alumni.
Lol, I really appreciate this video, thank you very much 🙏🏻.
If you're still answering comments (kind of doubt it because this was a year ago) how much did you have to pay initially? I'm really considering accepting, but I don't know if I have enough.
Late reply, haha. But $80, I believe. Hope I’m not too late!
Is the National Society of Leadership and Success' executive and admistrative's certificate worth it?
I don't know what made me qualify but I got an invitation
Can NSLS help me get accepted into a university abroad? I really want to study abroad in South Korea. Would it help my chances more?
So i am currently in community college and I got nominated for this. Would I still get scholarships if from this program if I transfer to a University?
I just got an invitation to the NSLS and was wondering if they give scholarships to universities not just community colleges? Also, congratulations on your acceptance to The NSLS!
Same!
I am nominated for a scholarship and I'm at Capella University finishing up my internships for my Masters in Clinical Psychology.
I’m a highschool senior taking college classes and I got a nomination. Should I still consider this program?
i would pay top dollar to watch wendy williams do a nsls speech
Hey, don’t know if you’re going to see this but I’d like to ask: if i were to join nsls do i have to put in work? Or can i just register with the invitation, do nothing, and be considered a member? im a pre med student and dont really have time for all that, but I think it would help my resume out.
You’ll need volunteer hours & to attend a couple events. I wasn’t pre-med, but I was really busy in college. Therefore, it took me like a year to finish all the requirements
@@MariahJackson how many hours do we need to volunteer? And what kind of events are there? Or is it just attending and listening to guest speakers?
@@markparubrub8504 I would like to know as well
GMA in STL said she is proud!! thanks for the review!
Awesome video and great production on your video ! If these are the types of people in NSLS I’m grateful I was invited to join !
Awww thanks 😊 wishing you the best!
I’ve been invited twice now with my 3.7 gpa. I think I will accept it now.
Good luck!
What honours society were you duped by?
With traveling opportunities is it just group travel, you still have to pay for the full trip ?
I’m not sure how to answer your question. You will have to pay money for the trip, but they’re always scholarships & grants available when you study abroad. So, the price your chapter quotes you may not be the price you pay. Lol I’m not sure if my answer helped
Hi I had a quick question, I'm about to finish college is it even worth accpecting it now?
Na, you graduate Spring 21 or Fall 21? If it’s Fall, then definitely not. You need at least a year in my opinion.
@@MariahJackson yeah I graduate spring 21 but I’m thinking of going for my masters but would it help or no?
@@xhellokitty97x it may help with scholarships! Go ahead, accept then check out the scholarships! Report back to let me know what happened!
Are the speakers paid to participate?
Thank you! I just ignored the email from my college because I thought this was the same program as “ Honor Society” that used to spam me 24/7 in Highschool.
Thank you! Very helpful.
I just saw your other video , you should be a married woman now! Congratulations ! And thanks for sharing on the leadership induction!
Yes it is 100% real because you have to work hard for that and maintaining good grades
how much is the payment?
Hey Mariah, I got the email and thought it was a scam or something. Thanks for the heads up about this.
Thank you for this video! I just got an email from them and on the fence.
Hello! Is the NSLS accredited educational institution where you can earn 4 college credits when enrolling in Part 2 and 3 worth it?? Im in the middle of applying and I don't know if I should enroll for that or not?..
Just what i was looking for appreciate the content and perspective
I am 45 years old, and I am still asking my parents for the fee. ;-)
Not fake in the sense it exists, but it's a shameless money grab designed to make students feel important. You go on to insult people saying they're just jealous they didn't get "invited", but it's not very exclusive. They want to sell you more junk and classes. They also have an "online chapter". LOL. The fact that so many people have to ask if it's legit says a lot. Try Phi Theta Kappa, Phi Beta Kappa, or at least Phi Kappa Phi for something that has legitimacy and a reputation to be respected.
Absolutely agree this seems so sketch… I’m part of PTK and actually got a lot of benefits that didn’t require me to pay extra. My school even offered to pay the students membership fee if they couldn’t afford it.
@@DaDodo7 What benefits did you use? PTK and PKP didn't do much for me lol
@@VndNvwYvvSvv I definitely didn’t take full advantage of all the benefits but I did use their volunteer opportunities to help me stand out when transferring, my chapter advisor was also one of my previous professors so when she wrote me letters of recommendation she mentioned both how I did in class and what I did in PTK. That same chapter advisor also nominated me to receive the Texas-Academic Team Award. At this time I wasn’t involved in a lot of stuff at my community college so PTK helped me look better and get accepted to my current university. Additionally PTK also offers travel discounts and various scholarships. The student president is someone many of my friends knew from high school and she received the same award as me and also reaped many other benefits I didn’t take advantage of.
Did it help pay for your classes
How much did you pay?
I got a letter (“invitation”) saying $88
I GOT ONE TOO! But it said $95
I was inducted 2 years ago so my fee was $80.
Asmita Kharel yo I got one too but idk if I should join
Kevin LKG me too $95，I haven't decided if I should join
thanks for making this video
I like your southern accent.how about we go out for some biscuits 'n gravy ?
I just got an email so I'm watching this first
You’re Better off buying a “Master Class” subscription.
I bought stuff from them like 5 months ago and didn’t get anything. I’m a little upset
Report it! That is unacceptable!
Man that one comment bout them was just cruel. And I was recently invited and I am proud of myself for that.....oh I also made the deans list this spring so if anyone e think that's fake plz let me know... thank u for this video!
you should bring this up to your advisor, they would give you better advice then just this random youtube vid.
@@jchemnix1918 actually no they won't. I talked to my advisor and they have nothing to do with the NSLS at school. All they can tell me is how to get in contact with there services
@@GuyWhoLikesfunnystuff7 if your school has nothing to do with it, then imo, its not worth signing up for it.
You should rather look for societies that are at least connected to your school.
@@jchemnix1918 it's from my school dummy. There two separate entities. Meaning my advisor can't give me specifics on when the ceremony is, what time, things like that. There associated with schools not apart of schools
@@jchemnix1918 I goto a private school where there is two different business schools in the university and one migrated from Japan to be apart of the university. NSLS is apart of the school but not part of the school if that makes sense
