I think you look great. Good luck! I have several kids who attend and have attended. PM me with any questions.
@Skrunch Thank you for the reply and feedback! Also, I wanted to correct something on my previous post: after the title “AWARDS/HONORS”, I said, " (only a few because I’m only halfway done with my freshman year)", which isn’t true. I finished my freshman year and am a rising sophomore. I typed this part up a while ago and updated it now and forgot to get rid of that little note.

Hi, I’m a current junior at ncssm and I will be happy to answer any questions. @savkalhan1200, your classes look impressive and I think you have a good shot! Just remember to really write about why the things you did such as extracurriculars were important to you and emphasize why you need smath.
@icantfindany
I’m also a CD8 applicant, what school did you attend?
Hi, I’m currently a freshman in CD4, and I want to know my chances of getting into NCSSM.
Race: Chinese
School size: about 800 because it’s only freshmen and sophomores this year, will grow by one year next year
I’m attending a new school (this is it’s first year operating).
8th Grade PSAT Score: 1410
—————————————————————————-
9th Grade:
Biology honors
AP Human Geography
Health Science I Honors
Band
Math 3 Honors
Band honors (took 2 semesters)
English I Honors
PE Honors
Got/has A’s in everything
PSAT Score: 1400
Extracurriculars:
Marching Band and HOSA
I’m also taking an AP Chinese class outside of school and I’ve taken about 8 years worth of Chinese courses outside of school.
———————————————————————————-
What I plan to take in 10th Grade:
Chem Honors
AP Chemistry
Precalculus
English II
French I
Band
AP Computer Science or AP Statistics (if given the chance)
Extracurriculars:
Marching band, HOSA, Key Club, NHS, will change based on clubs offered next year
——————————————————————————————-
Since this is our first year operating, we lack a lot of opportunities that other schools have, like the chance of doubling up is very low, and we don’t (or plan to) offer summer school or online courses. A lot of courses aren’t offered here either.
Do I have a chance at getting into NCSSM? Thanks!

I think you have a really good chance of getting into NCSSM! I would probably do more community service and STEM activities but that is all!
I’m gonna be honest… CD4 is a crapshoot, even if you have perfect stats, and all the right awards, it’s still not guaranteed(or even a good chance) that you’ll get in.
I really hate to be the negative one here, but there’s just so many good students from CD4(enloe, GHHS, PC, to name a few).
For context, I was rejected c/o 2021 from CD4. Asian male, 4.0uw/4.4w, 1530 SAT, multiple state level awards. Many others I know were rejected with similar or even better stats.
Hope this helps.
I have a question. Do you know how competitive CD11 is? If not that’s fine. Thank you so much!
