<p>Accepted into College of Enginering - Undeclared Intent (Instate)</p>
<p>Weighted GPA: 4:47
Unweighted GPA: 3.85
ACT: 34 single sitting (32E 34M 35R 34S 9 essay)
SAT: 2150 (750M 700CR 700W)
SAT Subject Tests: Math II - 780; US History - 690
AP’s: BC Calc (3), US Gov (5), Physics 1 (-), Physics 2 (-), Stat (-)</p>
<p>EC’s: A long list of wrestling accolades (all-conference, all-region, team captain, scholar athlete), but other than that, pretty weak.</p>
<p>Personal Statement: Pretty good. I talked about my transformation from an unmotivated freshman to a hard-working senior. 7/10</p>
<p>Application questions: Good. 8/10</p>
<p>Other: White male, NC resident, $67k income</p>
<p>Strengths: SAT, ACT, and SAT Math II scores, good upward trend in GPA.
Weaknesses: EC’s, other than wrestling</p>
<p>Why I got in: I think my SAT, ACT, and SAT Math II scores were too good to resist, especially the math and science subsections. They were far above NCSU standards, even for Engineering.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who was accepted. Go Pack!</p>
<p>To all my homies that applied by the Nov. 1st deadline,</p>
<p>My status changed today to:
“Application Status: Scheduled for Decision
Your application is scheduled for an admission decision. The decision will be sent to you by mail and updated here on your WolfPAW account at 7:00 pm ET on 1/30/2015. The decision may be to Admit, Deny, or Defer for Final Review.”</p>
<p>So does this mean the earliest I will hear is January 30th? Like will I get something in the mail before it’s posted on WolfPAW? I’m guessing not. If only I turned in my app 2 weeks earlier.</p>
<p>That blows. I applied to Penn State over a month after when I did for NC State and I’m about to hear from them in the coming days (took them a little over 2 weeks). With NC State, it takes them 3 months. </p>
<p>Anybody else that applied by the Nov 1st deadline still having their application say “Submitted”? Mine still hasn’t changed to scheduled for decision and I submitted in Oct 31st.</p>
As decision are approaching, I must say that I am SOOO scared I feel like my stats are good enough for acceptance into the engineering college, but my gut is telling me “deferred”…
