Reality TV World Message Board Forums
PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Does anyone know about this organization? There are so many scams out there geared toward high schoolers preparing for college that I just thought I would see if anyone on here had any info. Thanks!

My experience, and most of the people I've talked to agree, is that it is a scam in a sense. No, it doesn't rip you off (unless you order the stuff they offer), and it doesn't cost any money.

However, I think they mail this out to pretty much anyone who has a good GPA or solid outside activities. I don't know how they get the names, but I know I was on their list with nothing other than SAT scores to distinguish myself.

The guidance counselors I saw told me to not even put it on my transcript as an honor.

It can't do any harm, but there is no reason to pay them anything.

We got that same deal. Seems like the only money involved is buying the "directory" or somesuch.

Correction: there is a $45 "membership fee".

I got them to give me three hundred dollars just by threatening to tell people my name was in the book.
