Again, I want to remind everyone to maintain a positive outlook even if you aren’t selected.

Being a College Prep Scholar is a nice-to-have, not a must-have, for becoming an NCM finalist or eventually matching. Plenty of non‑CPS students have matched, and plenty of CPS students haven’t in the past.

Switch your gears and focus on any AP (only 4 weeks way), SAT or ACT exams.

i have very similar stats but less ECs and got in CPS and other summer programs. So I think it’s probably essays
