Have you thought about retaking the SAT? Your GPA and extracurricular activities look good, and Eagle Scout never hurts, but UNC is getting more and more competitive by the year.

You definitely have a shot at UNC-W, though, and I have a friend who had somewhere between a 1400 - 1500 out of 2400 get into the honors program at UNC-G, and she loves it there, so don't lose hope when it comes to a school in the system.

if you posted this a month ago, i would have said go take the dec. ACT , have you tried the ACT , this test saved me i almost have the exact scores on the SAT i took it 2 times and then i turned to ACT and my scores are 29 on avg this is a 400 point increase or more. sometimes the wording of the test makes the difference.
