Nice job getting your ACT score up. Is the 3.0 weighted or UW? Either way it is still low for the ECU cutoff, but maybe you can get that up some.
Have you visited the campus? I would sit down with someone in admissions and get their advice. If a rep comes to your school, meet with them and introduce yourself. ECU still a safety school for so many NC students, I think it helps your chances if you show that you really want to attend school there. I would apply early.
Where else are you considering?
Your in and your GPA is fine. Average students has a little less that 3.0 and your Sat score is very good idt it enough for honors
