<p>At my school there are service hours for NHS that are due pretty soon, but I don’t want to do them, because being in NHS is meaningless now that I’ve already been accepted to Rice (It was pretty worthless before too).
I told my dad this, however, and he freaked out because he thinks it will result in me being “kicked out of Rice.” This wouldn’t happen, right? I don’t know how Rice would even find out that I left NHS.</p>
<p>Call the admissions office and ask! They certainly won’t rescind for asking. But it doesn’t seem honest that you joined NHS only to look good to colleges and then don’t follow through.</p>
<p>My homeschooled son IS taking AP tests even though they won’t count for credit at his college because that’s what’s on his transcript and application.</p>
<p>I didn’t do it “to look good to colleges” (even if I had, it doesn’t accomplish that), but mainly because my parents made me.
Also, as far as Rice knows, I could be dropping out because I’m really busy with schoolwork and AP study and I don’t have the time to get the hours (this is actually true).</p>
<p>Don’t call admissions and ask - they couldn’t care less! They do care that you keep your grades up, and stay on the right side of the law. 
And, I agree that NHS is usually fairly meaningless at many high schools. Spend your time doing things that are meaningful to you!</p>
<p>HAHAHAHAH
no
how would Rice even know you dropped out of NHS?
and why would they even care about something as trivial as that</p>
<p>@rymd I agree, but I just wanted some responses on this thread so that I could prove to my dad that I was right.</p>
<p>haha when i read this, i was laughing. If you can’t finish the hours by now, there is no way (and i mean no way if you need to get so many hours) to really earn them now. Dropping out of NHS is nothing, i personally don’t take it seriously; better to make a big difference in college with the little experience the club gave to you than to try going through the ordeal of service completion. Everyone is right that dropping out of a club even if it is NHS is no big deal since it is the end of the year and colleges only rescind you if your grades plummet (this is the only reason). Just goes to show how colleges care mostly for your grades and numbers really; not much on ecs unless they are fabulous. (NHS is a fluff or any other club is if you haven’t contributed to it much or that it isn’t really great).</p>
<p>^ actually they can rescind you for bad behavior, inappropriate events, and etc…but dropping out of a club is definitely no worry. All the seniors really don’t show up for our clubs as well, so yea.</p>
<p>NHS is a ******** club at most schools–I would not notify Rice or worry.</p>
<p>(I say that with personal experience of the NHS club where I go)</p>
<p>I asked them and they don’t care.
