NC State and letters of recommendation

Hey everyone! I'm applying to North Carolina State University, and I can't find if they require letters of recommendation or not. Does anyone here know?

Hi there! North Carolina State University (NC State) does not require letters of recommendation for their general admissions process. While you are welcome to submit them if you feel a teacher or other mentor would be able to add valuable insight on your candidacy, your application will be considered complete and receive a full review without them.

Do note that NC State does require letters of recommendation for applicants to the Agricultural Institute specifically, which includes majors like Agribusiness Management and Field Crops Technology. Some scholarships may also require letters of recommendation, so make sure to check the details of any you're applying for.

Finally, on a separate note, if you want tips on how to strengthen the aspects of your application to NC State that are required, I would check out this blog post from CollegeVine, which breaks down how to tackle their school-specific supplemental essays: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-north-carolina-state-university-essays/. The essays can be a great place to showcase some of the more intangible qualities that might typically be included in a letter of recommendation.

Good luck with your application!
