So, I am pretty focused and and excited to begin college and want to go somewhere with a great reputation and what not.UNC-Chapel Hill is my #1 choice. I have visited 3 times already and am going back again to visit this summer. I really believe I belong here. I know how ridiculous it is for out-of-staters to gain admission here, but I am in West Virginia, which is an under-represented state, so maybe that helps just a tad?

Sex: M
Ethnicity: White
State: WV
School: Public

Top 10% of class

(Keep in mind my school doesn’t offer a plethora of AP’s. You cannot take any freshman year, may take 1 soph. year (AP Euro History), which I took, and a few more Jr. and Sr. years that I am taking and will load up on AP’s next year. So Im pretty much taking the most rigorous classes I can. Also, my school doesn’t weight honors courses if that matters because I know of some that do.) Upward trend as well.

AP Euro
AP Language
AP US Government

AP US History
AP Physics
