<p>You will definitely get into the school. As for the Scholars Program, I talked to one of the coordinators of the program last Saturday (Engineering Open House-I have been accepted!). He said that you need 2 out of 3 things:
- 1350+ on the Math and Crit Reading of SAT (I don’t know the equivalent ACT score, as the majority of NC students take the SAT)
- Top 5% of class
- At least 4.5 weighted GPA (also can be 3.75 unweighted GPA - I am also not sure about this, but it doesnt matter because 3.96 is more than any realistic requirement anyways)
If you arent invited automatically, or if your GPA/test scores changed recently and now you are eligible (my situation), you should resend your transcript and email the Scholars Program asking them for an invitation in light of your latest transcript.</p>
<p>I don’t know anything about the program that you could’nt find out from the website, other than the Scholars get to live in one of the best dorm buildings on campus!</p>
