Hey!
Class of 2016
I REALLY want to get in (but who doesn’t I guess)
Anyway, I’m applying next year for several reasons: I have been at the same Small private school since 1st grade 
Right now I’m basically just like floating along, getting high honors, taking what limited classes are available. I basically live in a bubble, along withe the other 160 people in our high school.
I want to go to Ncssm to meet new people, experience new things, actually CHALLLENGE myself in learning, I want to be able to take marine biolOgy and other unique sciences but our school doesn’t offer them.
I’m definitely not trying to discourage you from applying or gOing but you seem like you already have all those things! Plus, your current school could probably get you into a better college than being “middle of the pack” at Ncssm.
It all depends on what you REALLY want.
You might end up going to chapel hill either way, but the experiences you have along the way will make the difference in whether or not you made the right choice.
If you want to read a great article that talks about the Ncssm experience here is the link!
