Everything sounds very good (of course your SAT score in March is very important).
What major will you be applying to? That can make a lot of difference in NCSU admissions. If you are aiming for the School of Design at NCSU, you prob. know it is a very difficult admit. They only take a limited number each year. If that is your goal, you should contact the Sch. Of Design now and find out what you need to be doing to be competitive for admission next year. Good luck.

Good for you. You're already one step ahead. My S has a good friend in the school of design (landscape architecture). He spends many hours in the design building! He spent a semester abroad (Prague) through the School of Design and had a great time.
