@Alamere Just out of curiosity, why UNCC? It looks like you had quite a few CA safeties in mind. I assume you’re meaning Levine or Albert? Like most “full rides” they’re very competitive; your stats are good, but the number of scholarships available is very low. Many in state kids we know apply NCSU, but also apply Levine/Albert in hopes of full ride. Needless to say most end up full pay at NCSU. It sounds like Charlotte could be a good fit socially for you, great eclectic/artsy scene in some areas of the city, easy transit system, etc. They know a lot of kids use them as a safety, so put a lot of effort into your essays.
