Pretty sure they won’t accept any new information now and you’ll have to wait to send information like that till after the first decisions come out. Anyway, be optomistic. The admissions process is like dating, you never know who they’ll find interesting and accept. It absolutely could be you!

Yes, we’re in countdown/waiting mode for NCSt and U Miami EA after taking a holiday break. These are the only ones my son is interested in beyond the two he has gotten into (UofSC and UTK) for Finance. We really liked the visit we had to NCSt last Feb (pre-COVID) and hope it comes through for him. I had the same question on letter of continued interest but he’s inclined to just see what works out and then decide from there.
Happy New Year! Playing the waiting game here too. I think the answer to this question is “no,” but does NCSU offer any merit to incoming in-state freshman outside of the Park scholarship group?
My daughter was invited to apply (she received an email) for one specific merit scholarship but I believe she thought that it was tied directly to an essay she had written (on entrepreneurship). The email did make clear that being invite to apply for this didn’t guarentee her acceptance though (unfortunately 
)

My son had a similar experience - invited to apply for a merit scholarship within his specific major. His invitation also had the language that it was not a guarentee of acceptance. I think it did make us get our hopes up, unfortunately! Wishing Jan 30 was here already so we could stop speculating

Does anyone know if decisions could still come out before the 30th? I know in the past they normally come out the second to last Friday of January meaning the 22nd this year, but admissions said they would be out on the 30th in their Instagram comments which is a Saturday. Is the 22nd still a possibility? The 30th seems so far away.
Last year they also said the 30th but released them early anyways. Wouldn’t get your hopes up tho
We live locally and I have never heard of them releasing earlier than the last 2 weeks of January. They usually release between 4PM and 5PM on a Friday and then close for the weekend.
Not sure that it means anything on whether EA decisions will be released on the 22nd or 29th but I noticed that admissions is offering EA decision release quick chats for HS counselors on the 20th and 21st. There are openings on the 29th for international counselors. This is apparently something new they’re doing.

If the same pattern as the previous years holds true then NC State will announce results shortly after 4:00 pm EST on 1/22 and UNC-CH will announce results shortly after 4:00 pm EST the following Friday (1/29).

I hope so @stlurgrl - that would be better than having to wait until 1/30 as the website says!! Waiting is not easy!!! Good luck to all!
Not to add to folks’ anxiety here - but definitely hoping the 22nd is the day!

Same here, I’ll check it like every hour. Even though the decision is a week or two away.

Has anyone received email invite for scheduled chats from the recruiter ?
No email request for a chat here (in MA)
What email? When did you receive it?
For anybody that didn’t submit test scores, do you think other determiners will be weighted more? such as gpa, grades, essays, ect.
No test scores submitted here (tried three times to take test!)
Hard to know how they review applicants without that but maybe it is just additional weight on the other assets. It’ll be interesting after all decisions are made to see if candidates who submitted scores were accepted at a different/higher ratio (not just at NC State but at all schools that were test optional).
