Are all ABET accredited programs created equal? How to evaluate/choose a program

If your willing to share his unweighted GPA and any stats and what math /science he will end in senior year that might be helpful. But of course you don’t have to.

I know the general requirements and GPA/SAT for NCSU. I do not know if it is easier or harder for CivE. Anyway, son will end up with 3.5-ish uw and 4.1-4.2 w. SAT right now is 1400 with limited/little prep 730M. Will probably retake in Aug. I will have a better idea once AP scores come out. I am hoping a strong SAT will overcome low GPA.

Be aware that NCSU has competitive secondary admission to major after entering as engineering-first-year.

Yes. We are well aware. One needs 3.5 GPA to apply after completing the 6 prereqs. The CODA stats are available. What that means is 4 in Calc BC will likely doom an applicant. See my comment related to AP. If he gets a 5 then we might be ok. If not, then UNCC will be his likely destination or some other school.
