Applying For NCSSM Next Year

  . Right now, I am a freshman attending Grimsley High in CD 13. I already have a couple of my own ideas for the application we have to submit online. I want to get my current teacher in English to do the English teacher evaluations. I'll be introducing myself soon to my IB counselor for I am on the Pre-IB course. I'll also get my current math teacher to do his (maybe) and depending on my instincts, I might get my biology teacher to do it too!  I have 5 honors courses right now (because of French and P.E). My courses are pretty above level: 1.) Honors Civics and Economics (96) 2.) Honors Band (99) 3.) Honors Biology (95) 4.) Health/Phys. Ed (98) 5.) Honors Math 2 (100) 6.) French AB Initio A (97) 7.) Honors English 1 (100)

  . My extracurriculars are average in my opinion: 1.) Marching Band *currently in 2.) French Club *currently in 3.) Mathletes *going to first club meeting next week 4.) Food Pantry Club *literally doing nothing 5.) Battle of the Books *currently in 6.) Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) *currently in 7.) Greensboro Youth Council *will join soon 8.) Grimsley Ladies Achieving More (GLAM) *currently in

  .This summer, I'll be doing an online course (Honors Environmental Science). Next school year, I'll take AP World, Honors Band, Honors Chemistry, French AB Initio B, a business class, Honors English 2, and Honors Math 3. I might go for the student council too. 

  . After messing up in Band today and also during the game, I feel like I have the duty to remain in this course so please don't tell me I have to quit for a "second science". I'm going as far as taking a summer course! 

  . I'll try to somehow find a way to get noticed for awards and achievements in my school (I'll talk to my counselor about this). But please give me some advice!

  . I'm using Khan Academy and the most recommended SAT prep books right now so if you have any advice for this then that would really help because no matter how much I do, I don't feel ready! I'm taking the SAT exactly one year and two days from now. 

  . Any help from former student council members would help with what I said earlier about applying for student council! (*Also, I'm applying to the student council in my CURRENT school)

  . Please please please give me ANY tips!

  More Questions: 1.) What is the competition I have in CD 13?
                              2.) What is the best way to get my teachers impressed?
