You should visit both schools as soon as possible. The atmosphere at NCSU is very different than the atmosphere at UNC-CH. UNC-CH has a more liberal leaning student body, larger Greek presence. For someone who is undecided. NCSU's First Year College might be a good choice. I don't know if Carolina has a similiar program.

You said you would feel better about yourself if you went to UNC. Have you asked yourself why? Is it because of your family's reaction? Is it because, UNC is more highly ranked so you get more satifaction out of knowing that you acheived something that others did not?

Try to not think about the reactions/opinions of others and focus more on what you might be interested in studying and what kind of people/atmosphere you most enjoy being around.
