NCSU Update

Here is a email i wrote to NCSU earlier today and the response i got...  

Hi, I applied last fall for NCSU and i was sent a letter about 6 other classes i need to take before getting being accepted.   I was just wondering if i needed to repay the application fee again, for applying for this fall again?    And would there be a difference if i was going in a transfer student verses a freshman? 

Thanks,

Crystal Titus

Hello, Crystal:

Thank you for your email and interest in NC State University.  I'm sorry but at this point, your only option is to transfer into NC State.  Your high school GPA is not competitive for admissions and you do not have an ACT or SAT score on file.  Once a student has enrolled in a second semester of college we require that they meet our transfer requirements.  Most programs require a 3.0 cumulative college GPA for admission.  The last time you applied, your cumulative college GPA was just over a 2.0 which is why our transfer counselor Taylor Holland recommended that you take at least six courses and then re-apply. You will need 1-2 full-time semesters of straight-A work to improve your GPA to where we'd like it to be for admission.  You definitely need a Biology and a college-level Algebra or higher math to be admissible to the program you want here at State so be sure to take those during the Spring, 2012 semester if you're applying for the Fall, 2012 semester.  The application deadline is April 1 and then we'll need to wait for your Spring grades before we can make a decision.  I'm sorry but yes, you do have to re-submit your application & re-pay the application fee for fall.  We still have your transcripts on file, you'll just have to submit your fall 2011 grades by or before April 1 and then a final Spring, 2012 transcript later.  

Hope that helps.  Let me know if you have other questions.  

Best,

Dana Troutman
