NCSU Early Action Fall 2023

… either in-state or OOS

How are you guys looking with that withdraw button? Ours is still there.

still there

No withdraw button here. In state

OOS and still there

Still there. OOS. You have to click on your application link to get to the status page that has withdraw link.

Any in-state “high-stats” students still have the Withdraw button?

I don’t know if we qualify as “high-stats” but we are above the average applicant and still have the withdraw button and are in-state.

Mine is “high stats” but OOS. Withdraw button still there.

Portal astrologers unite!! Lol.
If buttons are disappearing then me thinks any hour now. Literally!

Any In State College of Arts Sciences/Statistics students out there? Needle in a haystack, I know.

It just basically means you think your student is a strong applicant (high GPA, rigorous course load, strong test scores if submitted, extracurriculars etc)

It’s a subjective measure of where you think you think an applicant lands when compared to other applicants that same year - it means different things to different people - but it means the applicant is on the high end of the applicant spectrum in terms of GPA, standardized test if they are submitting, and extracurricular activities (some people don’t even take that into consideration when they define who is and who is not “high stat”). An applicant can be high stats in some circles and not in others unless they are perfect across the board and very few are.

Please post stats so that we can get a sense of what is considered on the high end here. Also, choice of major.

I have never claimed my child is “high stats.” Even if they were I would not say they were - I dont’ like the comparison game. I come from a culture where we conceal our accomplishments so we don’t jinx ourselves! But if anyone else wants to post - feel free :slight_smile:

If you are curious as to what “high stats” is for a particular college, take a look at the data for top 75% of admits (you find lots of this info by googling or by looking at Naviance if your child’s high school uses that). This data tells you the stats most admits have and about how low of stats have been admitted.
DO TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT - each applicant is unique and sometimes different aspects of their life or things they encountered/overcame impact their stats. For example, one of my children started getting bad grades his freshman year of high school. Turns out he had an undiagnosed learning disability he was able to hide until then. His grades after diagnosis and help became perfect again. He wrote about the experience in his essay and clearly the admissions readers realized he was qualified even though the total GPA was a little lower than norm. So, while his overall GPA was not perfect, his grades Sophomore, Junior, and Senior year were, and he got into top engineering schools and is now at one doing amazing.
In sum- you cant really compare the stats as it is impossible to know the whole story. Ok to look at but be sure not to dwell on them. Students with lower GPA may get in while a student with a higher one wont - but only the Admissions people know the stories behind those GPAs.
