<p>Hey guys,
I am just wondering how prestigious is getting invited to the NCSSSMST Student Research Conference at the US Naval Academy? Is it really prestigious or what? cuz i want to know if I am going to be attending at as one of six from my school.</p>
<p>Any NCSSSMST member school can register their students to participate. I do not know the membership requirements, but if your school is a member they can send anyone they wish, meaning that at less competitive schools essentially anyone can go. If your HS is nationally/competitively ranked and many of the other 5 selected students are IVY level applicants then it is an honor I am sure, but from an admissions standpoint it probably holds very little weight. That is, of course, unless it leads to you participating in or completing some high-level research etc.</p>
<p>In short its a good learning experience, but not all the prestigious.*</p>
<p>I should preface this by saying I am not an expert by any means and don’t know much about it other then what I found on google :D</p>
