Summer Ventures in Science and Mathematics

<p>Hi, I was wondering if anyone else from NC is currently applying to SVSM or has gone? Does anyone have an idea of the competitiveness or the stats of people who got in?
Thanks!</p>

<p>I think I might apply, not sure, though.
My sister did it ~6 years ago and she was one of those kids with a 4.0, taking ap calc as a sophomore, etc</p>

<p>I went last year. I really didn’t think it was that competitive. I did my applications on my smartphone within an hour and the kids there were not as bright as I had expected. I applied my sophomore year and got in.</p>

<p>Stats:
PSAT: 223
SAT II: Math 2: 780 Biology (M): 790
GPA: Weighted: 5.2 Unweighted: 4.0
Sophomore APs: Biology, US Gov, Calc AB</p>

<p>astreets, where on the application did you send standardized test grades? I guess the transcript is submitted through CFNC, but I don’t see a section for tests on the website.</p>

<p>I’m also applying for summer ventures. I’m not sure if I will get in, because my SAT scores are just ok and my school doesn’t allow us to take AP’s until junior year. I really want to get in though, so if you have been, tell me about your expirience!
SAT: 1760
PSAT:170
Unweighted: 4.0
Weighted: about a 5.1(not too sure though)</p>

<p>Thanks guys.I never submitted my SAT or PSAT test scores because there wasn’t a section for them. There are around 25 people applying from my school which makes me kind of nervous because there are only 200 total spots? My GPA is a 4.76 right now but I’m taking 4 AP’s so hopefully It’ll go up. </p>

<p>Alternate…what about you guys?</p>

<p>@LaurenMargaret I am listed as a “finalist.” Does anyone know what that means? Also, is there a confirmation email?</p>

<p>I’m a finalist too. what now? </p>

<p>Alternate means you qualified but you are on a wait list
Finalist means you are in the program</p>

<p>I contacted summer ventures and I am an alternate at app…they also said they mailed info out today…any other questions just ask!!</p>

<p>@VernonEspinoza Alright! Congrats on getting SVSM! What campus are you? I am ECU.</p>

<p>@LaurenMargaret‌ No worries! Lots of people get pulled off the alternate to become a finalist. All you have to do is wait an extra month :0</p>

<p>@galaxyunicorn‌ I really hope so…I will definently go if I am accepted-
I am an alternate at ASU</p>

<p>I wonder how many people applied. They accept 400.</p>

<p>Idk but I know they deny a lot of applicants</p>

<p>@galaxyunicorn‌ what were your course selections?</p>

<p>Ummm. Not sure. They only thing that I remember doing on the application was ranking 1-4 my top four subjects. I selected Earth Science as #1</p>

<p>Yes I meant that:)…I picked biology as my #1</p>

<p>@LaurenMargaret‌ Are you having problems logging into SVSM today? It says we need to validate our emails.</p>

<p>Does anyone know the dates for UNCC? My daughter is an alternate, not sure where yet.</p>
