NCSSM Class of 2017

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>I could't find any recent NCSSM Class of 2017 threads, so I decided to start a new one.
Are any of you planing on applying? I am a Sophomore from District 4, and I have heard from a friend that one used to be hard to get into, but now District 2 is the harder one. Freshmen year, I was in Student Council (secretary), and Forensics (debate). In forensics, I was tied for 13th in the state. I have 166 hours of volunteer service at the hospital, 80 at a summer camp, and another 60 hours working for an organization that I helped to create which gives food, water, and shelter to orphans overseas. I plan on starting a new project to help children in need in Palestine. Around 300 hours of volunteer service total. I qualify for the Gold President's Volunteer Service Award. I also tutor kids free of charge. One of the things I have done and plan on continuing is helping to sponsor 6 orphans in Syria, India, Bangladesh, and Ghana. I have a 4.0 GPA. So far, I have had all A's in my entire life, no B's or lower. As a freshman, I have taken World History Honors, Biology Honors, Spanish 1, English 1, and Math 2. Right now, I am taking Chemistry Honors Online and have a 98 in the class (hoping to bring that up soon). I haven't taken my psat nor my sat yet, I plan on taking both Sophomore year. Also, I am trying to teach myself Japanese (I like being challenged) and computer programming/coding. Sophomore year, I am taking 2-4 APs, Human Geo and Pysch for sure, but I am not sure which other two APs to take. What are my chances What can I do now to improve my chances of acceptance? What should my sat score be? Should I join more clubs or groups? How am I doing so far?</p>

<p>Why do you guys that are applying want to go to NCSSM?</p>

<p>@ahat99‌ , Take this from someone who’s been through NCSSM, you kinda sound like a robot or “someone trying to beat the system.” Try to appeal to be more “human.” College Admissions and NCSSM Admissions can spot these type of applications really easily.</p>
