NCSSM Class of 2016- Future Applicants

<p>So does anyone know how competitive CD13 is?</p>

<p>Hey people! I’m applying too… though I have absolutely no idea what my chances are of getting in. I’m in CD 8, and my discovery day thing is March 1st! Does anyone really know anything about the math test we have to take? I’m in Calc BC so I don’t remember much from geometry… and I never exactly took Algebra 2 D: Is there something in particular I should be studying? Thanks!(: </p>

<p>@IceeSky - From what I’ve been told, it includes Alg 1, Geo, and Alg 2. </p>

<p>@IceeSky My school does not let us test out of Alg. 2 or PreCal, so I’ve taken both of those. I would just look through the standards covered in Alg2 and see if you can do them. I would also Google, “NC Final Exams Algebra 2 Released Forms” (or something to that effect) and see if you can do all of the questions on there. </p>

<p>Thanks guys! @pastelblue @willsister1 Hopefully I already know most of it, but it doesn’t hurt to review(:</p>

<p>I heard that for this coming year, NCSSM isn’t going to be tuition-free any more. Is this true? D:</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it’s still tuition free. Under the FAQs section of the website it says, “There are no fees associating with applying, being accepted or attending NCSSM.” @WhiteRabbit98</p>

<p>Ohhhhhhh okey. :smiley: Whew! That’s a relief! </p>

<p>NCSSM is a public school, run by tax-payer dollars. The purpose of the school is to give an opportunity to gifted students without hindering them with expenses. I think that the school will always be free. </p>

<p>I hope so, normal boarding schools are crazy expensive! </p>

<p>'Tis true. ACK fjkwofjewofje I’m so nervous for Discovery Day!</p>

<p>Me too, I’m freaking out! Less than 20 days left before mine D: </p>

<p>15 days(: I’m super excited, but also sooooo nervous that I’m going to just bomb the test. :open_mouth: :-S :!! So, snowday=STUDYSTUDYSTUDY</p>

<p>The snow is just so beautiful! I keep staring at it and getting distracted. NO NO NO GOTTA STUDY! 23 more days until my Discovery Day. ._.</p>

<p>You guys are way more dedicated than me, I’m going to go play in the snow :smiley: </p>

<p>Confession: I was literally like rolling around in it this morning. No exaggeration.</p>

<p>Haha me too, I made some snow angels xD Oh no! It just started raining! :’( I want snow, not rain! </p>

<p>I want to just jump in it. We have almost 7 inches up here (the Virginia border), but I have homework and I need to study. I haven’t been outside yet. My friend who is always late to class, was about 5 minutes early, and we are blaming him for the snow. >:) I have school on Saturday nowwwww :-q </p>

<p>School on Saturday?! D:
@IceeSky yeah, the snow here is starting to melt. :(</p>

<p>Bye bye snow :frowning: I’ve got a makeup day next Saturday, but it’s only a half day so isn’t too terrible. Still, school on the weekend is strange O.o </p>
