2019 NCSSM Future Applicants

Hey everyone! I just wanted to know how much competition there is in CD2 for ncssm. I go to a wake county school and a lot of people from my school (40 ish) are applying…

Also, how many AP classes did you guys take in sophomore year? I want to maximize my chances of getting into ncssm so I am planning on taking 6 and AP Biology over the summer between 9th and 10th grades. (i am class of 2020 btw)

@SairacUchiha CD2 isnt bad because while it’s got some raleigh folks it’s mainly pinehurst region (which isn’t dumb by any means) and triad outskirts. but taking all those APs and getting preferably A’s will strengthen your app

I want to take some APs during summer. Where are you taking your AP classes in the summer. Please advise.

for the congressional districts, are we going off the new court ordered one or the old ones. On the old district layout I reside in district 2 and on the new I am district 4(with the rest of Cary and Raleigh). If it is the new, I don’t think I have a chance of getting into NCSSM… :(( (especially with competition from kids in Raleigh charter and Enloe). If the old district scheme still applies, I have a chance…

Also how many and what AP classes did you guys take?

@lovetohavefun I am taking AP classes through Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth Online Program. I am taking AP Biology over the summer. The program is amazing and many say that it is the best summer AP program but the major downside is that is costs 1.5k

@SairacUchiha I’ve taken a total of 7 AP classes in high school, 2 freshman year and 5 this year

@SomeGuy9 damn that’s hella lot of APs

discovery day tomorrow RIP me… I’m not ready for this

discovery day isnt bad

Yeah the discovery day test was a lot easier than I was expecting so I think I did pretty well

@smath08 what topics were on there specifically?

just very simple math 1 and math 2 problems. it’s really easy so there’s no need to stress out (just watch out for the time limit)

anyone going to the discovery day this Saturday? I am ^-^

I am

I’ll be there too! Four students applied from my school, as far as I know.

I amm too @haco9655

I will be there too! There are over 10 people from my school applying

Good Luck everybody!!!
