<p>I got my invitation today. Is this thing any good? I heard computer science (and engineering) students shouldn’t care about EC’s because what they really care about is your Math and Physics grades.</p>
<p>I’ll have to pay like 70 dollars for this I believe. I’m not worrying about the fee but what do you guys think? If it’s an absolute joke I wont sign up for it. </p>
<p>Where do you want to transfer? Many schools have transfer scholarships for ptk members, that $70 could save you a couple thousand on tuition. </p>
<p>Thanks for replying. I want to transfer to UNC - CH</p>
<p>Join it. Membership in PTK is often a requirement for transfer scholarships at a number of nationally recognized schools. </p>
<p>Also, why do you want to go to UNC-CH for engineering?</p>
<p>I just joined it. The website they also give us an account for, collegefish.org, is showing me some scholerships but most are in some very unknown universities. </p>
<p>I’m going there for Computer Science (hopefully!) their computer science program is one of the best in the country (so I’ve heard). I live close to UNC as well and I love the campus/setting. </p>
<p>I’m a CC student, and I joined PTK. I’m not an ‘active’ member as such, but I figure it can’t hurt. Being in an honors society looks good. It’s true that transfer institutions are less concerned about EC’s, but something like PTK is a bit different than being president of the math club. It’s an honors society. It shows dedication. </p>
<p>They offer a lot of opportunities for scholarships, which is certainly a plus. </p>
