Colleges and Universities A-Z North Carolina State University

NCSU Engineering is definitely my top choice.

-In-State White Male
-SAT: 1450 (710 M, 740 R)
-UW GPA: 4.0 (4.0 Scale)
-W GPA: 4.5 (5.0 Scale)
-Strong Essays
-Class Rank: 22/250
-4 NCSU Engineer Grads in Immediate Family
-4 AP Classes and 7 Duel-Enrollment with local university
-4 Years of Marching Band, 4 Years of Varsity Swim, Beta Club, National Honors Society, Science National Honors Society, National English Honors Society, Quiz Bowl Captain, Self-Taught various programming/scripting languages, Multiple Jazz Bands throughout HS

I’ve definitely been reading too many stories where people with a 1500 SAT and 4.0 GPA didn’t get in and its beginning to really stress me out.

I would think pretty good. Since your class size is only 250, I’m guessing you are not in Wake Co. which would be good, as they try to get kids from across the state. And wow, not many engineering students score better in reading than math.

Thanks for the reply!

I am in Catawba County, but I have heard about the difficulties getting in as a Wake County Resident.

I made the mistake of not taking the SAT until after I was in Calculus, so I hadn’t done the type of math on the SAT in a few years, hence the oddity in my score.
