This is a revised version of my first thread, what are my chances of being accepted into the College of engineering at NC State.
I am a rising senior and I plan on majoring in computer science.
SAT: 1160
ACT: 20
GPA (W) 4.36
(UW)3.64
Class Rank: 14/139
80+ volunteer hours
EC:Soccer Freshman Year, Tennis Sophomore Year, Strategic Gaming Club & Beta Club Junior Year, and I’m supposed to be part of the student council senior year
I have a job (full time during summer and part time during school)
AP English 3 , AP Biology,
plan on taking AP English 4 and AP Computer science
I have been taking college classes (4 so far). I plan on taking 2 more.
I am Hispanic and a first generation student.
I know my ACT and SAT scores are not the brightest, I have only taken both tests once. I plan on prioritizing these tests to raise my probability on getting accepted
Working part time during school AND Hispanic??!! Don’t worry about the SAT score, the admission officers will understand.
You think so?
I thought there was no excuse for that low of a SAT?
Check the school’s Common Data Set to see what range of test scores they accept. There are students who work and have above average test scores, so while colleges understand that some students have to work it’s not a free pass. Neither is being an URM. Do your best to raise those test scores and make sure your list includes academic and financial safeties.
