what is it? like whats it about?

How do you get to be in the book? Like how do you get picked, is there something you have to do to get in it? I graduated high school in '95 but I was just curious as I've never heard of this before. TIA!

I got so many letters while I was in high school to be in this book but I just never sent anything back or did anything about it.

aw the book is like a recommendation thing & you fill out this form about all the things you have done in your four years. i did all up to my junior year but it seems pretty interesting & so i was like hm ill do it. & the books are sent out to different high school libraries in the country.

Those things are kind of a scam. I mean, they make you pay a pretty penny just to have a book with a list of names. Plus, a lot of people get in so it never seemed like a big deal.


Sorry to be a pessimist, haha.

I was in it in high school but I never bought the book. I think it's the top 5 or 10% of the country...not sure though.
