<p>We need to get more prospective students for NCSU involved with this site so that we can all keep in touch...</p>
<p>i would wager that most applicants/future students do not know about this site therefore can not use it. Spread the word to your friends that plan on attending NCSU. The more prospective students that i talkl with, the more excited I get about the upcoming fall...</p>

<p>I would glady be part of this but I am a junior and can't apply untill next year.</p>
<p>I am an OOSer, anybody have any advice on what I should do over the summer to increase my chances to get in?</p>
<p>yeah: travel, do a summer job or intern, participate in a educational workshop over the summer, attend a leadership forum, attend a residential summer program at a college, etc, etc, etc...</p>
<p>anything will look better than just sitting around.... you can also go ahead and start working on your personal statement for next year's application b/c their will def. be a section on ur app asking you to upload one (it is optional though - it will help you)</p>
<p>what's really going to separte you from the OOSers is the SAT score... if you have the extra money, join an SAT prep class this summer. if u don't have the money then there are lots of free recources online... Just STUDY and don't let that be the factor that keeps you from NCSU.</p>
<p>Other than that, stay motivated and try to get some solid community service hours... that doesn't mean just work for a shelter or pick up trash just to say you did it. Make a difference in someone elses life and you will be rewarded in other ways.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you next year... anymore questions about the application process, just ask. If i don't know the answer, i'm sure that PackMom or Nguyen will know... take care</p>
