NC State vs. UNC Chapel Hill

Colleges and Universities A-Z North Carolina State University

<p>So, I've been accepted to State, and I've received good word from Carolina. I'm a finalist for the Parks scholarship at State, and through that, I also received $10,000 guaranteed if I attend State.<br>
But I've always wanted to go to Carolina. I love their campus, and I love the atmosphere. I could definitely see myself at Carolina. I was a semifinalist for the Morehead, but I wasn't chosen as a finalist. I hope to receive other scholarship opportunities, though. </p>

<p>I'm interested in biotechnology, so I'm thinking State's the better choice education wise, but I dunno what I want to do! Could anyone give me s'more info about either? Pros/Cons and whatnot?
Any help is much appreciated! :]</p>

<p>Sarah, understand that GPA standards are different for transfer students at age 24 than for incoming freshmen applying as high school seniors.</p>

<p>OP, it sounds like State is a better fit for your academic interests. Don’t choose your school based on a pretty campus (and Franklin St. gets old after awhile).</p>
