I think your chances of acceptance are very good. Apply early in the Fall. Since ECU is a rolling admissions sch., the earlier you apply, the better.

thanks so much! how are the academics at ECU?

I need to be around a few smarter people

ECU academics are prob. about the same as any other non-flagship state u. The students are a mix of average to strong. Some depts. are considered stronger than others as at all schools. Honors courses are offered if that is what you're looking for.

do you think there are alot of rednecks?

like my borhter goes to a college in the south and he says he gets really sick of all the people who call him a yankee and stuff

pakjan6, if you go anywhere with that kind of attitude, you will not be welcomed.
I attended ECU. My S is now a freshman there. We are fr. NC. If you expect people to be polite to you then you should extend that same courtesy.

Funny that you are worried about name calling (being called a yankee in the south) but yet you have no problem characterizing southerners as rednecks.

There are a lot of oos students at ECU. One of my S's best friends is fr. Maryland.
