5KidzRUs Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Is "Who's Who of American Colleges and Universities" prestigious? I tried googl-ing it but I could not find if it were something great - as in to put in college applications ... or if it is a thing the colleges do to get us to buy their souvenirs, or??

Whereneverever Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 As far as I know, it's not. I got mailings from that and the high school program when I was younger and we looked into it and decided it wasn't worth much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5KidzRUs Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 The flyer I have in front of me states that this particular college chose 28 students from 8000 to receive this award. I am trying to find out if this is a scam of sorts - what throws me off is that it came from the college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I've always heard that the 'who's who' stuff was a scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 It's a scam designed to make you feel special--but they just want you to buy the book that lists the other suckers who are just as "special" as you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I've always heard that the 'who's who' stuff was a scam. :iagree: I got the letter that I qualified for Who's Who in the high school one... at my college dorm. :confused: Bit late on the ball, there :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I was nominated for it by my department when I was in college... I don't have any book, but I do have a very nice certificate :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
