NC State

[cedriccj3]

Hey guys,

I will be applying as a first time application to NC State (IS) this fall, and I was wondering if anyone out there had any tips?? If anyone who was accepted in previous years could share their stats it would be especially helpful, but all input is appreciated. Please help!!

I was accepted to NCSU as a first time applicant this year, but most of my advice is just general stuff. Get started early, especially with your personal statement and getting your recommendations in. My biggest problem was that I had too much going on right around the time the application was due and regretted not having gotten all my ducks in a row well in advance of the deadline.

As for stats, check the Successful Applicant thread here:

It has people from lots of different schools, but if you read through and look you can find the people who got in to NCSU.

I already answered your PM...and my stats are in the successful applicant thread. For others, I really do recommend attending the info session. Breadth/depth of experience was emphasized at the session I attended. Start early on the supplemental if you can. It has some 'interesting' quesitons (generic but not necessarily easy.)
