Onety-One Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Anyone else herd of this? I just received a nomination to join the Golden Key Society. From what I hear it costs a initial fee for a life time membership. Is it worth it to join to put this on your ABS? or could you just put "nominated for Golden Key Society"?

LeBronto2019 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 From my experience, it wasn't worth it unless you actually get involved. I'm sure everyone who can get into med school with whatever GPA will have been nominated to join because you need a 3.8+ anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexiiiluther Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I don't think it is worth it - I did a quick read through online and a lot of people agree that it is a scam. You likely won't get a lot of benefits from it, and I believe you're nominated if you're in the top 15% of your faculty or class in terms of marks.You could put nominated for Golden Key Society, but I honestly don't think it would mean very much.

MD2015 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Plain andt simple, in my view, it is a scam to pay huge salaries to strangers who don't deserve it. Unfortunately, the universities give them access to the Dean's List and out goes the mailing to us poor saps. Waste of money and meaningless.

SkepticalStudent Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Ugh, total waste of money. I got nominated and joined freshman year, since I was on the Dean's List. My parents thought it sounded prestigious so they paid the (at the time) $50 entry fee. I can't believe universities give them access to Deans' Lists across the country.

Corie Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Useless. I got nominated and didn't join after reading about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
