Does anyone know what NC State wants for incoming freshmen now? I don't know how it works with the new SAT (3 parts) instead of the math and verbal most of us took to get in. Do they still just look at math and verbal? Or do they do something with thier writing skills portion?

Considered a more selective university, NC State accepts fewer than 60% of those who apply. Out of the 3,175 students in the 2004 freshmen class, 43% were ranked in the top 10% of their high school class and 48% scored greater than 1200 on the SAT. Twenty-five percent were in both categories. State law limits the admission of students from outside North Carolina, so there is strong competition among non-residents for admissions.[7] [8]

Uniquely, NC State requires admission candidates to choose a preferred college of study. After determining that an applicant meets the overall university requirements, the individual college must also agree to accept the student. Due to this process, some colleges have significantly higher admission requirements than others. For example, the College of Engineering has higher admission standards than the College of Natural Resources. In addition, students might have a difficult time transferring between colleges. Transferring to the College of Design from another college could be difficult due to lack of design experience.[9]

^But all of those SAT scores are out of 1600 not the new 2400

I think for a few years, they are still going to mostly go with the 1600-based scores. I'm working orientation, and they keep telling the new student groups "Congratulations, your average SAT score is 1150" or whatever, which would be pretty bad if that were on the 2400 scale.

They will probably consider the new section, but want to wait a few years to see what they should expect before they start using it instead of the old score. That's just my guess.

I wonder if that is based on incoming freshman or people who actually graduate... I am not sure how it is in ME, but I know in AE the dropout rate is insane.

The new section is writing on the SAT if I'm not mistaken, so the colleges kinda look at it separately from your math and verbal sections....which still scale the same as the old SAT. Seems to me like the MCAT writing section that aparently doesnt matter unless you do very poorly or very well on it.
