<p>My friends got this postcard thing to join some Magna Cum Laude thing online or whatever, and they said you need at least a 3.75 to get it. By that standard I should’ve gotten one, but I didn’t. Does anyone know anything about this/whether it’s important or one of those things I should have even if it doesn’t count for much/ who to contact to get one?</p>
<p>The only honor society that’s really worth anything is Phi Beta Kappa. You will be notified in your senior year if you qualify (or a junior if you’re super good).</p>
<p>a lot of those things are scams.</p>

<p>It used to carry a lot more weight on your resume but still remains the most prestigeous of the collegiate honor societies.</p>
<p>The most important honor society in your career, abnu, will be Alpha Omega Alpha, an honor conferred to the best students in their graduating class in med school (usually top 16-20%). This is a significant honor that weighs heavily come time to apply for residency.</p>
