They act like they are UVA with admissions. I was told when I called that I would not get in with my GPA being a 2.9. Three weeks later they sent me an acceptance letter. So don't feed into the hype.

“I am a Caucasian female and I applied toJan 29 2010Undecided
I am a Caucasian female and I applied to this school early (non binding) with a 3.28 GPA, (on a 5.0 scale) 1990 SAT score, and did not write an essay. I was accepted. I applied to PLP: at this point in time my GPA had risen to a 3.4. I wrote an essay about an international peace activity which I was a leader for. I was accepted. I graduated from high school with a 3.54 GPA, but by this time I had already been accepted to both PLP and the school.

“Getting in was not too much of a problem for meJan 06 2010Music - Composition/Theory
Getting in was not too much of a problem for me. I was on the e-mailing list for about 2 years and they sent me a Students First application, where you would basically do early admission, yet you receive your letter in about 5 days. I had a GPA of 3.3, Combined SAT score of 1090, and an ACT score of 25. I also had an outstanding Resume and showed leadership through a job and my extra cirricular activity. Great campus and if youhave what I got, you'll have no problem! Good luck!

I visited CNU twice before deciding on coming here. Each time made my decision easier. The dorms, classes, and students were the main reasons for my selections. I was 5th in my high school class and scored 1380 on my SATs.
