It isn’t the easiest school in the NC system to get into, in state or not. Depending on what you plan to major in, your chances differ. Majoring in history is different from majoring in engineering. NC State has different departments or “colleges” that correspond with majors. The criteria can differ as some departments are much more competitive than others. You can check out some posts on this site about people posting their stats and decisions. Honestly, it’s too soon to tell but I’m sure you’ll be fine. It’s good that you have a school in mind to work towards. Take your SAT and ACT and keep up your grades and GPA. You don’t have to have perfect scores. Showing passion and motivation is helpful. Maybe you could mention on one of your essays how you stepped up to the plate after freshman year. Get involved in EC’s and stay active in them. You’ll be just fine!
