Does anyone know roughly how long it takes NC State to process an early application? I know it will be by Jan. 30th and on a rolling schedule, but since they’re my first choice, I’d love to have a better estimation.
Everyone I know heard before Christmas last year.
I thought everyone who applies by October 15th finds out on January 30th.
@chb088 - repeating mmm’s comment, I though it was Jan 30
This is what appears on the NCSU website: https://admissions.ncsu.edu/event/fall-early-action-notification-date-freshmen/

Which is why I’m questioning it. It’s not actually important - they’ll tell us when they tell us
well, they may state they will let us know by Jan 30, but like I said, everyone I know found out before Christmas last year. Hoping this year is the same.
actually, it looks like last year was Jan 20th. I do know in previous years it was earlier. One can hope.
The pain of waiting. I’ve applied ED and have been refreshing my WolfPaw every day. On top of this, I feel like as the days go by my confidence in getting accepted dwindles.
@LollmANoob Rest in knowing you’ve done what you can by applying. Decisions won’t be posted until Dec/Jan., so relax or you are going to stroke out before then. What you should do in the mean time is apply to some safety schools.
Has anyone applied as a transfer student for the Spring or know if Spring is easier than Fall? I really want to hear back before December 1st. Do they usually let you know before then?
@Trusting Trying not to have a stroke right now. I took your advice and applied to UNC Asheville. 
@LollmANoob: You might consider, if you haven’t already, applying to UNC-Charlotte: it has pretty good engineering and computer science programs; and your test score/GPA should make it a likely match for you.
I think maybe I heard something about November having free admission to NC universities. If this is true why not hit up a few schools with minimal supplemental requirements. Greensboro? App?
@byadg123 Only certain colleges participate. None of the free applications are schools we are considering, unfortunately.https://nccollegeapplicationmonth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/college_application_fees_cam_2017.pdf
I am wondering the same exact thing!!
