Hello! I am a 9th grader in CD 11 looking to apply to NCSSM next year. Could someone please tell me what I need to do more to get in? If I don’t have a chance, please tell me that too. I will be posting my things from 7th grade to what I plan on taking in 10th grade.

I also took the ACT in 7th grade and got a 26 (which is pretty low for NCSSM) I am retaking it next year though. My grades were A’s and high B’s.

In 8th grade, I received A’s, B’s, and one high C in Math. Does this ruin my chance of getting into NCSSM?

In 9th grade, I have done a lot of STEM things including completing the MIT OpenCourseWare for Intro to Psychology, I read “A Brief History of Time,” and I watched documentaries on psychology.
Please tell me if I have a chance of getting into NCSSM. Thank you so much!
