🎓 NC College Connect
Seniors interested in attending a North Carolina college or university are encouraged to explore NC College Connect. Students that are on track to graduate, have a 2.8+ GPA, are enrolled in a 4th level math or already completed an advanced math course will be directly admitted to participating NC colleges and universities. No essays, test scores, or recommendation letters needed. The higher your GPA, the more schools to which you'll be directly admitted! If you don't have a 2.8 GPA but you're on track to graduate you'll be automatically admitted to local community colleges. Students will receive an admission letter in mid-September or log into their NC College Connect Portal to see their personalized list of colleges. Click the link to learn more about NC College Connect.  More information and resources will be shared with seniors during their conferences and through the Class of 2027 Canvas course.
