I was recently deferred from NC State University until final review until March. I have already spoken to an admissions counselor on my tour at NC State and expressed my interest in attending the University. I have also emailed the office of undergraduate admissions at NC State, providing them with info on what I have done first semester (awards and honors). Is there anything else I could do to increase my chances of getting accepted at the end of March? My first choice major was life sciences with a biology intent. I don’t want to continue sending emails to the admissions office because that would be annoying, but I do want them to know that it is my top choice.
SAT: 1240 (new)
GPA: W 4.833
NHS, Spanish Honors Society, good amount of volunteer service including senior project and various community service activities through clubs. Tri-M Music Honors Society, Secretary of the band. I have auditioned for and made several honor bands throughout high school-All-District Band (10, 11, 12) and All-State Band (10). I also took an intensive Spanish course in Costa Rica for a month which I tried to highlight on my application. I made all A’s during first semester of senior year with a fairly strong course load-Spanish 5, AP Lit, band, and AP Statistics. I have made 3 B’s throughout high school. I have taken 6 AP’s. (AP Environmental Science, AP US History, AP Chemistry, AP English, AP Stats, AP Spanish)
Should I change my major from bio to undecided? The admissions counselor I spoke to said it was a competitive major this year.
