FYI, UNC has moved up their EA decision date for In-State Applicants. Historically they used a date towards the end of January and typically would release a week to 10 days before the listed date. They’ve decided to move the listed date to December 20th for In-State Applicants.

I noticed somebody pulled the band aid off and went first the year my daughter was applying, so I guess I’ll go this time.
Stats: In-state, 4.0 unweighted, 1540 SAT, 26 DE credits to date, taking 19 more this year + AP Calc. Lots of leadership, 4 Varsity sports, some volunteering that ties into engineering(but probably his weakest point).
He is looking at the Applied Sciences Engineering. I am curious if anyone here has any experience with the new engineering program in the Applied Sciences school? Engineering is his current intended major and all signs point to NC State as the right choice, but his sibling goes to UNC and it’s not off the table for him yet. Were he to get in and choose UNC, he would try for a double major in business, engineering or engineering major with business minor. And we are PUMPED about the earlier EA in-state decision date that crapshooter posted. Would love for NC State to follow suit. Good luck to all!
Stats for my DD: OOS, 4.0 UW, 1530 superscore, will have taken 9 APs and 3 DEs including DE Multivariable Calc and AP German, 5s on the 7 AP tests taken plus a 5 on the Calc AB subscore. ECs: Varsity Cross Country 3 years, captain this year, made it to States twice, Varsity Indoor and Outdoor Track all 4 years, hospice volunteer all 4 years, German Club president, and some other minor things. Honors are weak: Commended Scholar, NHS, German Honor Society, AP Scholar with Distinction. Applying for Econ or Business. We know it’s a long shot because she’s OOS.
