Hi there! It's fantastic that you're interested in North Carolina State University (NC State). I'd be happy to share some information about the acceptance rates and the types of students who get accepted.

As of fall 2023, NC State's acceptance rate stands around 47%. However, this number can vary slightly each year depending on the applicant pool and the university's specific enrollment goals. Please keep in mind that acceptance rates are not the sole indicator of your chances of being accepted, as the university will consider various factors in their admissions process.

NC State, like many universities, follows a holistic approach to admissions. This means they consider multiple factors when reviewing applications, including your grades, course rigor, standardized test scores (if submitted), extracurricular activities, and essays. While each applicant is unique, it's common for accepted students to have strong academic profiles and demonstrated engagement in extracurriculars or their community.

To give you some context of the average academic profile of an admitted student, as of fall 2023, the mid-50% range for SAT scores was 1260-1420, and the mid-50% range for ACT scores was 24-31. For GPA, the average unweighted GPA of admitted students was around 3.81.

As you prepare your application, focus on showcasing your strengths and demonstrating your fit for the university. Research any programs within NC State that pique your interest, as this will allow you to tailor your application to reflect how you would contribute to and benefit from the NC State community. In addition, make sure you have an impactful and well-crafted essay that helps to set you apart from other applicants.

Remember, while these numbers and tips can give you an idea of what types of students are admitted, there's no guaranteed formula for acceptance. Still, being armed with this information allows you to present the best version of yourself in your application. Best of luck!
