Readiness
Rural students often suffer from fewer academic and test prep opportunities. SAT scores from rural county students have historically been 100 points lower than metro students. Most of this obstacle lies in school district resources. Here are some of the ways we are offering clear messages and enriching opportunities to make rural students competitive.
Know your chances
High school achievement contributes to college readiness. Knowing NC State’s admittance averages helps students decide if they are ready to apply.
