I was deferred EA, then waitlisted… What might my chances be of actually making it off the list?? GPA: 3.82 ACT: 28 Exploratory Studies, attempting to switch it over to psychology…
NCSU always admits more than they have space for, but there is attrition. 2 of my daughter’s friends in the last 2 years got waitlisted and didn’t get in. They were told that they overbooked and no one got in from waitlist. Of course, this is my only knowledge. I would consider plan B and possibly pay a deposit at your next choice by May1st. Then hope for the best that you will make the waitlist between May 1st and June 15th. Good luck! Wish you all the best. It is just such a competitive school with so many qualified applicants. They had a record number of applicants this year.
@ET1999 we feel your pain. My son was deferred EA, then wait listed. GPA unweighted 3.6; SAT: 1450 - 760 English and 690 Math. Very competitive high school. We can’t believe it. It doesn’t sound like the odds of getting in off the wait list is not looking very good. First choice was business, 2nd choice was exploratory studies.
Also waitlisted engineering first choice business second 3.4 UW 4.4 W 33 act. Knew I didn’t have much of a chance for engineering anyway but surprised at business
