Hi, Im a freshman and Im planning on applying for NCSSM. I was wondering how I could stand out or any other tips for being accepted.
This year I took honors english 1, honors math 3, visual arts 1, principles of biomedical science, spanish 2, health/pe, and APWH.(Im taking advaned math and spanish classes for my grade) I have all A’s, an unweighted GPA of 4.0 and weighted GPA of 4.5. Next year I am going to take honors english 2, honors pre-calc, AP studio art 2d, human body systems, honors spanish 3, AP psych, honors chemistry, and honors american history/civics and economics. (Keep in mind I go to a smaller school so they don’t offer as many AP’s or clubs). I am also in the 99th percentile for all of my finals. I havent taken the SAT yet but I plan to this summer.
I participate in science olympiad(Ive gone to nationals and medaled there along with a large amount of state medals), HOSA(also state medals), and wearable device(our team was the first team from our district to compete). I was in NJHS and had a position in the council. Im part of GSA, Duke tips, I know how to play guitar, and I have won several national art contests. I have earned the presidents award along with a good amount of school awards. I am also a student ambassador for my school. I have participated in NCSSM’s summer programs and I am certified for vision screening.
I regularly participate at soup kitchen and I donate art to a charity ever year. I have also coordinated my own community service project where I taught an art class. I have applied for the HEROES program and an internship at a hospital this summer. Next year I plan to join more clubs if possible, participate in student council, join the HOSA student council, do more community service work, and take college courses at a local community college.
Please give me any tips you have:)
Sounds good to me,just keep your grades up.
