    Acceptance Email
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around an email notification of acceptance into an organization called the Honor Society (honorsociety.org), which the user finds questionable due to their low overall GPA, despite having a 4.0 in their major. Participants express skepticism about the legitimacy of the organization, comparing it to the National Honor Society (NHS) and questioning its value. Concerns are raised about whether the organization sends acceptance emails broadly or if nominations are required. Links are shared that label the Honor Society as a scam, reinforcing doubts about its credibility and the significance of accepting membership. Overall, the consensus is that the Honor Society may not hold any real importance or benefit for students.

So I got a random email today telling me that I was accepted into the university honor society (honorsociety.org), whatever that is, due to my academic excellence and nomination. This is laughable considering my GPA sucks (although I have a 4.0 major GPA, just haven't taken many major classes yet).

Is this different from the NHS? If so, is it of any use/importance? Should I accept or does it even matter? Also, does this organization just send these out to a list of students, or do you have to be nominated by someone first?

Thanks and try not to make too much fun. I'm sure this bull crap. :smile:

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
