what is the who's who program?

Question

I got excepted to the who's who program. What is the whos who program? The paper and the website don't give a lot of information.

How much is the book?

Answer 1

yeah, it used to be a big deal, but a lot of people get it now... you can send in to have your name in the book, but thousands of others are in it as well... they just want you to buy the expensive book

Answer 2

My son and my daughters friend are both in Who's Who in America. You do not pay to get in it. It is just a book for those with out standing grades and honors. Be proud, you should get an offer to buy the book. It is something to buy and be proud of..

Answer 3

The Who's Who? looks like a group that wants your money. As my schools valedictorian, I got it and I thought this was a "for-real" org. turns out some football players that have 2.0 GPAs also got this. I ordered a book and haven't gotten it (its been about a year and half) don't do it, its a scam.

Answer 4

When I was younger and in high school and college, many of my friends were approached (via letters in the U.S. Mail) to apply to be in Who's Who of American High School Students and Who's Who of American College and University Students (or something like that). The catch was they had to pay $$ to get their names in the book, then, PAY for the books!

I am not sure how much they cost back in the 70s, but I am sure it was high.

I work in a public library and I order Who's Who books. They are very expensive (at least Who's Who in America is VERY expensive). And, many libraries like mine, won't buy it. I am referring to the Who's Who for High School Students and the Who's Who for College Students. No one uses it for research or anything else.

My advice- don't waste your money. Save it for something worthwhile.

Answer 5

It really isn't a whole lot. You have to pay to part of it. I wouldn't do it. Sure you can say you're in Who's Who, but so can anyone else who paid.
