Am I good enough?

<p>Typical Junior at a high school looking at my chances for NCSU.</p>

<p>Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Asian
Residency: In-state
ACT / SAT: Comp: 24 // I'm taking the SAT this Saturday.
----(I probably won't do so well. I'm a horrible test-taker. My ACT is an indicator of my test anxiety.)
GPA: 3.93 Unweighted // 4.612 Weighted
Rank: 6 out of 92
Community service (52 hours as of right now) and other community involvement</p>

<p>Clubs:
Member in National Beta Club, Phi Theta Kappa, Yearbook, and International Club
Secretary of National Honors Society; hoping to be president next semester and I am wanting to make our chapter well-known throughout the community
(I've worked two jobs the moment I turned 16 so I wasn't really able to do many EC's or clubs. Senior year, I will be going all-out because I will be almost done!)</p>

<p>I have only made 1 'B' which was only one point away from an 'A' in my entire high school career. I take high school classes and college classes on a college campus to get my high school diploma and Associates in Arts degree when I graduate next year.</p>

<p>....So...what are my chances? :|</p>

<p>It depends on what you want to major in and some colleges like Engineering and Design are tougher to get into that the university as a whole. Generally speaking, though, you’re in excellent shape for applying to most programs at NC State.</p>

<p>Your test scores are the only thing that I think might be a little low, but I only did slightly better on my ACT and still got a 2030 on my SATs, so there’s a good chance you’ll do much better this time. And even if you can’t get you’re scores up, you have enough going for you that you should probably be good anyway.</p>

<p>In general, just keep grades up, apply early, and use this summer and the start of senior year to finish rounding out your extracurriculars. If you’re looking at school of design, make sure your portfolio is up to par.</p>

<p>Also, excellent job keeping that GPA while working two jobs!! I’m working one right now and I feel like it’s cutting into my study time. I’m sure NC State will look on that as a huge positive.</p>
