So would it be bad for me to just use the letter to apply for the scholarship...cause I so need it?????

I am so mad that it is a scam, and I am really NOT that special...geez.

It's still kind of iffy. The forms they send explain that you have a choice to purchase the book or not and that you're name'll be published regardless. They also have applications for a scholarship as well. Granted at the bottom it asks for a $4 processing fee, which it also explains is optional as well. . .

I'm not going to worry too much about it -- either I'll get a scholarship or I won't. I figured it couldn't hurt though; I didn't send in four bucks but I guess even if you did, its just four bucks. If it's a scam, it isn't a very good one -- that is unless one is dumb enough to spend like $70 to have your picture in a book. . .which even if it isn't a scam, you're still retarted to blow your money on such things.

I was Valedictorian of my graduating class & I received one of those National Deans List letters like many of you here. My girlfriend also received one. We were in the same graduating class. She ordered a copy of the NDL book. Well they cashed her check but NEVER sent the book! She had constantly called the number in TX listed on their website only to get the run around. After a WHOLE YEAR has gone by, my girlfriend received a refund check in the mail. For those of you who may be thinking about responding to those NDL letters, all I can say is "Caveat Emptor". We have never seen thier book and know of no one who has their book. I've framed the letter because it looks nice on my wall but I've removed the National Deans List from my resume because I won't promote anything that is a farce, shady and unverifiable.

"I've framed the letter because it looks nice on my wall"

Lord, you must be desparate for decoration.

According to the letter, I am among the top 1% of college students. I am a sophomore in high school, and my gpa is nothing to boast.

Oh yeah, I got the letter on June 12 and the deadline to respond was June 1.

someone i was nominated for the 'list' and i hadn't attended school the previous year.... i thought i was special until that happened.
no worries, i didn't give them a cent.

i have actually seen a copy... it was for 1995.

Wow. A sophomore in high school receives a letter, and after the deadline at that. If that doesn't say SCAM then I don't know what does!

I am going to be a senior in high school next year and I just received a "National Dean's List" letter in the mail today.

zahn · 06-13-2007, 10:02 PM

I got the same letter too. I did not get the book or spend any money with them. I am wondering if there is any proof that we are even on any list. There has been no conformation or any type of communication from them. Have any of you gotten any reply from them.

zahn · 06-13-2007, 10:13 PM

I am keepig the letter as proof also. My GPA is 4.0 so I thought it was a ligit thing.

racnna · 06-13-2007, 11:23 PM

If the National Dean's List is a scam, is Who's Who in High School also one?
