That may be true, but NHS differs a LOT by school. At my school, the salutatorian was never accepted. In fact, only 4 kids in the top 10 were inducted. Yeah there is a minimum GPA (usually 3.0), but if they accepted everyone with a 3.0+ it would be half the school. At my school at least, the thing that decided whether you get in or not is the amount of service hours you have volunteered, which is why only 30 kids get in per class. This isn't a big deal, but I personally am very impressed by the fact he got in
