I'm considering applying to North Carolina State University and was wondering if they have rolling admissions. I'm trying to plan out my application timeline and it would be helpful to know their application process.
No, North Carolina State University (NC State) does not offer a rolling admissions process. NC State has a set structure for their application submission period. Specifically, for the application cycle of 2024-2025:
The Early Action deadline was November 1, 2024. While this deadline has obviously passed, for future reference this is a non-binding application process, meaning you're not committed to attend if you get accepted. Students who applied by this date will receive admission decisions by January 30, 2025.
The Regular Decision deadline is January 15, 2025. If you apply by the regular decision deadline, you should expect to receive your admission decision by March 30, 2025.
It's crucial to note that all parts of the application must be submitted by the respective deadline for your application to be considered on time. This includes transcripts, test scores, and all other required materials. Make sure you provide yourself with enough time to complete your application ahead of these deadlines to ensure all components receive consideration.
If you're thinking of applying before the regular decision deadline and want tips on how to maximize your chances of acceptance, I'd check out this blog post from CollegeVine, which breaks down how to tackle NC State's school-specific supplemental essays: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-north-carolina-state-university-essays
