Can someone please tell me what my chances are of getting into NC State University as a first-year student?

GPA - 4.29 weighted (essentially a 4.3)
Class rank - 10.7%
ACT - 25 (this is what I’m most worried about)
AP classes taken by graduation:
AP Statistics
AP English 3
AP Biology
AP European History
AP English 4
(Everything else has been mostly honors courses, other than electives)

Speaking of electives, I’ve taken French 1, German 1, German 2, Japanese 1, Japanese 2, Chinese 1, Chinese 2, and I’ll be taking Chinese 3 next semester. My plan is to major in certain languages and get a teaching degree and I’ve mentioned this in my application. Do you think they’ll consider these classes along with my plans after high school?

I’d say I have around 100 or so hours of community service but I’m not entirely sure, as I haven’t taken the time to add them all up lately.

So, what do you think? I’m hoping my chances will already be slightly decent since I’m not applying for engineering which I realize is a really competitive area for this particular university…
