"Who's who among american hs students"

hey.. received a letter in the mail today stating that I have been nominated for the "Who's who among american high school students" ( www.whoswho-high school.com[/URL] ) .. A google search indicated that being nominated for this is not a big deal and is not something great which you could write in your college application.. Can anyone confirm this?

thanks

Confirmed.
 
They probably want to sell you an expensive book with your name listed in it, right?
 
alright thanks!
 
yeah, trash it.
 
Just remembered, what about the 6000 usd scholarship they're talking about? is there really one coz I really need the money to pay towards my private school tuition..
 
They just want to sell you a book

Clearly a ripoff.
 
does it have those hs kids in it from georgia who are threatening to jump straight to the NBA?
 
clearly a ripoff, but my wife got it, and that is how she found out about the high school she went to (Community College High School) ... which is where she got 2 years of her college work done by the time she finished high school ...
