i think you have a good chance of getting in if you pull that SAT I up a little bit. the rank going up a few probably wouldnt hurt either.

however, don't rely too much on your stats...they definitely base their admission on MUCH more than stats alone. I had 2300 SAT, 3.9 GPA, a crapload of ECs (president of 3 clubs, national sci competition, etc), and while i got admission to some of the best ivies/private schools,i didnt get a nod to UNC's honors program or anything. also, a lot of my friends didnt even get admission, who i thought had a lock on it. so dont be surprised if you get deferred/denied...its happened to a lot of people who didnt expect it. I think the reason is that most people underestimate UNC...especially here in north carolina, so they usually make it a backup. thats a mistake. make sure the rest of your application is perfect.

NEVERTHELESS IM GOING TO CAROLINA NEXT YEAR WOOOO
