  • Location/Region: I’m from North Carolina! I wouldn’t like schools that are far away, specifically near the west coast. I would like to stay near the east coast. I would possibly consider schools in the midwest.

  • Major: accounting + neuroscience, bio, or genetics minor. (maybe econ major if they don’t offer accounting??? haven’t really thought about this route yet.)

  • GPA/Test Scores: 4.0uw + 4.49w, taking act soon.

  • Curriculum: flexibility of taking class across multiple disciplines disciplines, good business school. a bachelors + masters degree program is a plus! i hope that I can eventually become a cpa so a school that can help prepare me for that would be great. schools with labs or research facilities would also be good.

  • Size: more on the mid-big size, but open to different sizes.

  • Costs: i have no idea how much i can exactly afford yet, but i know I will be needing a significant amount of aid.

  • Schools You're Currently Looking At:
    ncsu
    uncc
    unc
    uncw
    nccu
    ecu
    nc a&t
    campbell
    app state
    wake forest
    purdue
    iu bloomington
    duke
    emory

  • Additional:

  • im graduating with my associates degree (60+ credits)

  • not sure about my oos publics, doubt they would give good aid.

  • i would like schools that are in/near the city, nothing rural

The best way to leverage that associates is likely to stay in state

i thought so

#

probably what I’ll up doing

love love love NCSU for accounting omg

  • transfer a lot of your associates credits
  • dedicated accounting program & direct application to the 1-year MAC (so you can get your CPA pretty easy)
  • genetics minor here is also really lit
    i think the only downside is that im not sure how easy it is to take non-major courses without declaring a second major, and that process can be a pain for double majors between colleges

yes yes! I’ve heard nothing but good things about state

#

i think UNC KF has a 1-year MAC program as well so another great choice, although im not sure about competitiveness
UNC doesn't have a dedicated accounting major either but im sure there are good major/minor combos for prep

#

also if you qualify for carolina covenant that could help significantly with costs

yeah that makes sense

solar nymph
#

it’s okay though

#

What have your act practice scores been about?

solar nymph
#

around 27 or 28

#

i only did one

#

or 26

#

andddd i haven’t been studying….i should probably start doing that 💔💔

little oyster
#

alright! That's not bad for a first attempt. Ideally to be competitive for merit scholarships aim for 32+.

solar nymph
#

i think my act is in march

little oyster
#

ok that's enough time to start studying. do you have a book of practice problems and review?

solar nymph
#

yes they’re all digital study material

#

And

#

When they gave me my score back it listed the areas i did kinda bad on

#

so I’ll use that too

#

i think I’m going to apply to all in state schools. unc system is pretty good

#

and for publics my credit will transfer directly over

lethal oyster
#

26-28 practice ACT for UNC system is honestly a great spot to be in

#

i believe in you :)
