<p>not looking good. they’re incredibly tough on OOS and you have about a 10% chance of getting in. hopefully, the volunteer will work towards your favor</p>

<p>What’s your class rank? It’s an important component that isn’t mentioned.</p>

<p>Your GPA is a little low for OOS but the ACT score will help to offset it a bit if you can make the rest of the application very strong.</p>

<p>Focus on your essays, they are EXTREMELY important in the UNC admissions process and make sure that the LORs are stellar, not just solid. I’ll repeat, focus on your essays, they are EXTREMELY important in the UNC admissions process. </p>

<p>I’ve been around these boards a little longer than most and I will say that that your chances are better than 10% as previously stated but remember that UNC admissions is a long shot for virtually any OOS applicant.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
