<p>3.55 unweighted GPA not sure what weighted is, school doesn't report it. Unknown class rank as that is also unreported. 1760 PSAT, taking SAT in May. 2 AP's at the end of Junior year, and 1 or two more during senior year. EC's are Varsity Alpine Skiing and Varsity Tennis for all years in high school. Also have a part time job 15-20 hours a week. Out of State (New Hampshire)</p>

<p>I would think your chances are good. If you do well on the SAT, you should be in.<br>
Your intended major is not a super popular one so that is in your favor. Cuts down on the competition. NCSU prob. doesn’t get many apps fr. NH either :)</p>
<p>These are schools you might want to consider as well.</p>

<p>Thank you for the advice Packmom and Daredevil31. I have been looking at other programs on the east coast, and I am very interested in UNCW, but when I talked to the admissions rep from URI at my school’s college fair I was immediately turned off by the school.</p>
<p>^ Why? I visited UNCW while I was vacationing at the beach, and it seems like a nice place. Veeeery small town, but the campus is beautiful. Shows like the Hills and stuff film there a lot. Can’t complain about the location, in terms of… well, the beach.</p>
<p>lizziedoll, if you read turtlegirl’s post, it states that she IS interested in UNCW but not RPI after talking to an admissions rep. from RPI at her school’s college fair.</p>
