<p>snowinginc, wearing a watch is definitely I won't forget! I MUST! Well, w/ Beta Club, this time I went w/ o a watch and was competing in creative writing section w/ time limit of 90 min! I took evrything except a freakn' watch! (and guess what, I messed it up!) Thanks a lot. I made 99 in my ALg II Hon. (had similar stats for Geom too!)</p>
<p>By the way, this is not supposed to be the right thread for posts abt NCSSM!</p>
<p>I'm applying to Summer Ventures too....but sicnce we're going2 india this summer it's a nogo...and my discovery day at NCSSM was yesterday....so it was pretty awesome now I REALLY wan2 go....but my grades aren't that great so iunno</p>
<p>for me..i haven't applied to anything for summer (except this SVSM!) Now, if I can't get in, hmmmm.......I have to REALLY think what can be done!? I'm sure most of the summer program's deadline has passed......i'd probably do summer job/volunteering.....and SLEEP!!!</p>
<p>Bump...</p>
<p>What subject did you guys pick? I picked Biology as my #1 choice. I think that would send me off to Appalachian State if I am accepted. If I don't get in...I'll definitely be working someplace.</p>
<p>Another bump~
I took Bio as my no-1 choice too.......I will probably work if I don't get in! (I was dumb enough not to apply to other summer programs--ofcourse, I looked for free stuffs..and couldn't find anymore!)</p>
<p>hey I don't me to interrupt but what exactly did you do at your discovery day. Mine is saturday and I just want to be prepared. The only thing that I truely fear is my essay that I turned in because there was a big problem with my computer.</p>
<p>u should've immediately contacted the admission committee......they're pretty responsive! If something messes up w/ computer.......they allow to send the essay as an attachment w/ e-mail.</p>
<p>Hey, notifications are sent out on April 5th according to the summer ventures site.</p>
<p>Yep! (EXCITED!) If I can't get in......then I've to either work or volunteer! :(</p>
<p>I just wanted to mention that I am a senior and I went to Summer Ventures the summer before my junior year at Central University. It was a wonderful experience and the majority of the students were rising juniors. There were like 4 rising seniors out of about 65 students. And my stats weren't that great but I got in. And I had a friend that didn't apply to Summer Ventures but he got into NCSSM. This past summer I went to Governor's School in Winston-Salem and it was ten times better than SVSM but I think its far more selective, although there were 800 students total. It was so much fun. I miss it sooooo much. </p>
<p>But anyway, someone mentioned something about UNC, and I just got in like last week with a 1700 SAT score, so hey, these programs might've worked (plus I'm very active with extracurriculars, employment, volunteering, etc., and my GPA isn't tooo shabby). In addition, I got a likely letter from Duke, yay!</p>
<p>What was your GPA?</p>
<p>At the time it was probably like a 4.3 but now its a 4.6 something. It's nothing extraordinary. At SVSM I was like average, but at Governor's School alot of people had like 4.8 or 4.9, so I was a little below average.</p>
<p>let me ask u a stupid question.............it's weighted GPA right? (GPA style varies so much in different schools........so :D)</p>
<p>asifkhan that's not a stupid question. but yeah, its weighted. my unweighted was like a 3.9 at the time. right now it's like a 3.8.</p>
<p>BTW, Congrats on getting into UNC! That's great. I really hope I get into UNC next year...it's gonna be a long, long senior year. :/</p>
<p>Yeah, I think my senior year has been my longest year. But that's great that u wanna go to UNC. It's my dream school so I was estatic when I got my acceptance letter. And the only advice I can give for next year's seniors would be to be yourself on the application and don't rush. I was the last person to submit my application from my school (like a week before the deadline) and I was the only person that got in. So yeah, don't rush. Good luck!!!</p>
<p>Yeah, UNC definitely is my #1 (dream) school so I'll be sure to spend a long time perfecting every little detail. Thanks for the advice!</p>
<p>(this particular thread has become a thread for NCers! Although it just started as SVSM post!:D)</p>
<p>asifkhan, How did your Discovery Day at NCSSM go? What did you think ?</p>
