national deans list?

[buickpower]

Has anyone heard of the national dean's list? is it legit or a farce? the reason i ask is a friend of mine got a letter in the mail saying he had been selected by a professor or "educational organization" at his college to be put on the list. they want his biographical info, stuff like what degree he is getting and what his gpa is. they aren't asking for money unless he wants to buy a copy of their book that lists everybody nationwide that gets the award. either way they say they will put him in the book if he sends them his info. Just wondered if this was a scam that anyone had heard of or if it was reputable. Any input would be appreciated.

There are a lot of companies who do that, they're just trying to make money by selling their book. It's probably legit in that they're not actually trying to scam him but it's no huge honor. When I got offerred that I passed and it hasn't hurt me since.

My son's going to college this fall. I have recieve about 10 of those letters. Nice and official looking but basicly they just want you to by the album with the student's name in it.
