<p>so yeah, i was nominated for governers school nj today. our school nominates one person for each category. i was nominated for the engineering and technology one. the thing is i have never taken any tech classes and only one computer class (intro level). i do pretty well in math but i have yet to take physics since i am a junior. i thought if i got it, it would be for like science. i don't really know much about engineering. does anyone know what you do at this gov school? like what is it like? also, do you need a ton of ECs to get in or just grades/essays/recs/testing scores? </p>
<p>also does anyone know all of the divisions of governers school?</p>
<p>My friend was recommended too! Actually at my school we have to apply and the supervisor of the corresponding department decides on the nominees (1 male and 1 female per gov school). I was like "yo, apply for GSET" and he was lilke "um, ok" and he was nominated (which is a pretty huge deal here)!</p>
<p>Um yeah I have no clue how to answer all your questions.</p>
<p>I was nominated for the International Issues one. In my AP U.S. History II class, the teacher said that we were allowed to apply, and a committee was established to pick two people for each of the two topics available under the social studies-type category. I applied and was nominated...</p>
<p>Yeah for our school, they don't let you pick which one you apply for. I love science and will probably have a science career, so that is the one I would have applied for, but they just picked me for this one. Thanks for your help. I don't know how much of a chance I have, but it's worth a try. What are the typical stats of the people who actually get to go?</p>
