It really can go either way... More clubs would look better, and simply joining is not impressive; you must join a couple and focus on them to make a difference. Also, do the optional sections on the application and bring your gpa up if possible. Shoot for at least a 1200 (630+ on math). It still can go either way. I know people with lower stats than you that were accepted but i also know people with much better stats than you that were rejected

best luck

I went to CHHS and got into NCSU with a better weighted GPA, better SAT, and worse unweighted GPA than you did. Be sure to apply early. I think you will have better chances.

I would say you have a good chance at NCSU School of Management. It is not safe though.
