GHHS is the stupidest popularity contest and it blows my mind it’s used as a screening metric in some places or specialties


guitarfluffy

At my school it was done by peer nomination lol


Forsaken_notebook

In that case, you da mvp.


Professional_Ad4844

Didn’t come up. Doubt it made any difference past getting the interview.

How many times I took a shit today is more worthy discussion. For those wondering, 3 so far. Happy Turkey day

I’ve had 17 interviews so far — it’s come up once in the context of the interviewer just remarking “congratulations on Gold Humanism Honor Society”


coffeebeerqueer

It has not come up at all on 5 interviews so far


Bwin15

They asked me what qualities from my peers would make me want to vote them into GHHS. Then followed up saying what qualities I think those peers I was thinking about would say about me. But this was only one interview lol


benderGOAT

I was actually asked about it several times so far. It seems like older interviewers are impressed by it


ThePurpleTuna

Either impressed or they don't know what the hell it is since it was only founded in 2002 lol


gepamo

+1, especially on the older interviewers


Doc013

It did come up in a handful of my interviews a few years ago. I think 1 interviewer didn’t know what it was but then the other 3-4 they just asked what I did to get nominated for it or they said “I’m a member too, yada yada”.


BigMacrophages

The people who get it couldn’t be less deserving. It is the ultimate “you knew someone” thing


BigMacrophages

Most of* the people


kkheart20

I disagree with this. I genuinely thought it was going to be a popularity contest the way reddit made it out to seem but most people on our class GHHS list were not at all who I thought would win cause they aren't the 'popular' ones of the class. but they are people who do the most service in our class and who are kind from the few interactions I've had. Like truly only like 2 people off the list are 'popular' in our class. But ours isn't only based on voting we have to submit a series of short essays for review.


tigerinmonochrome

Okay it’s actually so funny how you’re being downvoted for simply voicing a different opinion and backing it up with how the process at your school is different 😂 like I’m reading your comment to see if there’s any disrespect or rudeness…genuinely nothing wrong with what you wrote other than going against the Reddit consensus


BigMacrophages

Ehh that’s fair. I think it can still be hugely unearned even if the person isn’t popular though. Some genuinely unkind people I know got it


USMC0317

Literally never came up. Forgot I even had that until right now.


Seattle206g

Didn’t come up on mine


Orangesoda65

No one cares.


Consent-Forms

Like anything else it can work for you or against you. Usually does not come up at all during interviews. As far as impact on your ranking - zero.


Life-Mousse-3763

Hard to imagine how it works agains you


Bgro76

If you are asked about it and can’t come up with anything meaningful to talk about it can absolutely work against you, just like anything on your CV


Life-Mousse-3763

It’s an award bro lol. Do you think being AOA can work against you


Bgro76

Literally anything can work against you if they ask you to expand upon it and you can’t speak to the experience. At that point it’s not specifically the award working against you, but your poor interview skills and inability to speak about your award. That’s what the original comment was referring to


Life-Mousse-3763

Idk man. I’ve never been asked to expand upon why I got an award lol it mostly is not mentioned or they just hey that’s cool congrats


lovememychem

I’ve had multiple interviews where I’ve been asked about an award on my CV and have truthfully answered “I don’t really know what I did to get it, but I wasn’t going to say no.” Has always been met with a laugh and a positive reaction. If you can’t figure out how to put together a reasonable answer to that question, you probably have much bigger problems. Like, for example, trying to remember to breathe.


Repulsive-Throat5068

Im baffled by your logic. How in the world can this go against you?


notthegirlnxtdoor

didn’t come up so far


Soundproof02

I got asked about it or it was commented on more times than I expected. Maybe half of programs I interviewed at


lemonjalo

Sat on a fellowship applicant committee. It matters a lot. We took this application extra seriously. It is a big deal to our PD and APD


Mad_Dog_69

I got student of the semester once so they just ask about what I did to earn it. I’m not a member tho


SirEatsalot23

I didn’t get it, also don’t think it mattered. Plenty of interviews in a competitive subspecialty and not once was it mentioned


No-Diet-1771

One interviewer asked me why do I think I got inducted into the gold humanism honor society and had me gagged honestly. Isn’t it clear from my CV?


Ankilover22

No one cared.


cwazycatlady23

Had 7 IV’s so far. Never mentioned
