You may be able to get an idea of where you place relative to recently admitted students by looking at the NC State Common Data Set: Part C9 of the CDS gives the median 50% for both SAT and ACT scores, as well as the percentage of the entering first-year class falling within certain ranges of SAT and ACT scores; Part C11 gives the percentage of entering first-year students falling within a range of unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale, and Part C12 gives the average high school GPA of first-year applicants.

The CDS also tells you, under Part C7, that GPA, standardized test scores, class rank, and the rigor of your high school record are “very important” academic factors considered for freshman admission; most everything else is “considered.”

Your ACT score is below the 25% percentile for admitted students, and your SAT is right at the 25% percentile; your GPA is good, although not great for the OOS pool with which you are competing. Do what you can at this point to boost your standardized test scores; and if you think that your Fall Semester courses can boost your overall GPA, you might want to consider applying RD instead of EA. This is something that I would discuss with your guidance counselor; and the sooner the better, as NC State has a very early (Oct. 15) deadline for EA applications.

Good luck to you.
