For those of you applying for med school or have already gotten accepted, how do you feel about honor societies on your application? I have gotten invitations to a few of them (I think one is called Phi Kappa Phi, not sure about the others) and they always say something like "this is a great opportunity, blah blah blah, you only pay $50, blah blah blah" and so forth. Do you feel like honor societies are worthwhile things to get into? The only reason I would be interested is in order to make my application look better, but it just seems like a silly way to spend money to me. Because what does an honor society prove? That you have good grades. But if you already have to put your GPA on the application, being in an honor society doesn't really tell them anything they don't already know, does it? Anyone have any ideas about that?
