Excellent chance. In my opinion, you should also be ready to evaluate the NCSU Honors and Scholars programs, since you will probably get an invite to apply to one or both.

My ACT composite is now a 33

4

you are above average profile for the school so you have a good chance of getting in. Your chances probably diminish a little if you are applying for selective programs like engineering just because they are so competitive. Good luck!

I put computer engineering which I heard was really hard to get into. I should have put undecided but can’t accept me still without getting me into the engineering program? Like my second choice instead, which was business marketing?
