NC Governor's School 2020

Hi @estye2409 ! I was also accepted to GSW for math!
Does anybody know how room assignments work? Is it random?

Hey guys! Due to my uneasiness for acceptance/non-acceptance letter distribution tomorrow, I looked up NC Gov School acceptances on Google and this fine thread popped up. Like a lot of you, I applied for the math discipline as well and I am (impatiently) waiting to hear back. So excited to see that many of you were accepted. (Also, I live very close to GSW - it’s a beautiful campus! Those of you who are attending at the West campus, you should be stoked!)

@itbelikethatfr Good to hear, thanks!! Even though I heard from my counselor, I am eagerly awaiting my letter because part of me doesn’t quite believe it still, lol. And I want to know how to proceed with telling them I want to go! Again, good luck! We are all rooting for you no matter what.

@estye2409 Congrats!! 3 GSW math people here now, awesome! @annama314200 Yes, to my knowledge it is random, and they send a letter with your roommate’s information in late May/June.

@ApostropheUsage Hi! Best of luck with your letter! So happy to have you here :slight_smile: I’ve been to High Point before and can confirm the beauty of the campus, but I won’t say any more because I’m technically a rival now hehe.

It’s really fun to have all of you here. When I started this thread I would never have imagined there would be so many (not to mention I was pretty sure I’d be abandoning the thread due to a rejection, I’m so so happy that’s not the case)!! Once this stressful period of letters is over perhaps we can get to know each other a little better before the summer!

@isla701 that would be awesome!! i’m glad this thread exists bc there’s not really a lot out there about governors school, especially for this year. i’m not really sure how this whole forum works, but i’d love to get to know you guys before we meet in the summer!!

Chiming in a little late on this thread, but good luck to everyone else who hasn’t heard yet!

Update: I got in! Our governor’s school contact pulled me and the other person from my school who applied out of class to deliver our letters. I’m at East for social science!

Woohoo!! Congrats! Go East! @sikemajor

@estye2409 I concur about there not being a lot of info, which is why I made it! Let me know if you have any questions about the forum. Personally I’d recommend keeping super personal info (name, phone, social media) to PM if we share it, but we can talk about the region of the state we live in, colleges we’re interested in, etc on this thread. :slight_smile:

ACCEPTED to Governor’s School East and I could not be more ecstatic! I’ll be in the mathematics discipline. If anyone wants to get to know each other before this summer, feel free to PM me! I have my fingers crossed for all of you who have yet to receive your letters. I can’t wait to meet some of you this summer!

@ApostropheUsage Heck yes!!! CONGRATS!!! We’ve got an amazing trend of acceptances going here! I also have my fingers crossed and am so excited to meet you!!

Hey guys, only joined recently, but I got into GSW for Natural Science! Can’t wait to meet you guys!

@M0gbebi yay congrats!!! west is best!!!

is anyone else still waiting to find out? i found out like a week ago through my school but received the official acceptance from governors school in the mail today.

Congrats @M0gbebi! We now have someone in nearly every discipline, this is awesome! @estye2409, I too received my official acceptance in the mail today. So gratifying and exciting!

Thanks @isla701 She has only gotten a letter from the county but not Gov school. Hopefully she will get that sometime this week!

Congrats to everyone that got in!!

Hey everyone, I’m a little late to the thread, but I got into GSE for Math! Congratulations to everyone else who got in!

With wake county cancelling all field trips(for any clubs like tsa/fbla state competition) along with any activity that brings crowds(like band/chorus concerts), I am worried that if the corona virus situation gets worse, nc gov school might also be cancelled. Do you think this is a possibility? I really wish gov school isn’t cancelled!!

@annama314200 Yes. I have thought about that. As an agnostic, I am praying by the hour right now for it to get better. Within the context of my personal life (NOT the world-- we are very, very lucky compared to many right now), GS being cancelled would be one of the most unfortunate happenings of my teen years.

@cassiopeia12 Congrats!! I really hope to see you there :slight_smile:

@isla701 Same! I have been so happy for this past week after getting my acceptance letter, but I would be disappointed if gov school is cancelled. Especially because I am giving up other summer internships for gov school, I’m crossing my fingers so that corona can settle down in the summer.

@annama314200 I am sure colleges will still recognize and commend us for getting in, but I actually want to have the experience. Really hope it settles down. The past few days have been nothing but anxious words on the part of everyone I know and I am using my acceptance and meeting GS people as my needed beacon of light.

@cassiopeia12 I’m also at GSE for math! Congratulations and I’ll see you there!

@annama314200 @isla701 Likewise, I woke up this morning in a cold sweat due to fear that Governor’s school would be canceled amid Coronavirus paranoia. Just for the sake of easing my own nerves, I’m about to send an email to the coordinators and request a Coronavirus action plan. I’ll report back what they say, including any potential cancellations. Let’s cross our fingers!

Hey everyone, I just created a forum for GSW members: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/2177720-nc-governors-school-west-2020-p1.html?new=1

This isn’t a decisive division; feel free to switch between that one and this general thread (and GSE members can view if they’d like as well :smiley: )

also… let’s hope there is no cancellation :neutral:
