NSCS is based on GPA/academic achievement...so you have to have a decent GPA to get into the organization. Not everyone can apply-- you have to be asked to join-- and not everyone is asked-- just people who have done well academically. I would just skip the induction...not give up the whole thing just because you cannot make the induction. Believe me- it will look nice on a resume when you graduate...it may not seem like a big deal now but it will when you are looking for honors and achievements to put on your resume. Just my final 2 cents!!
From the NSCS website-
What Is NSCS?
Honoring and inspiring academic excellence and engaged citizenship for a lifetime.
