Agree. You are in state, which is huge for UNC, and even Duke seems to love the NC kids!
W&M…who knows. A match except it is so hard OOS! good luck!

They’ve pretty much covered all bases fam. Maybe look into Elon, but Chapel Hill is surprisingly easy to get into for the average CCer, much less someone in state. Look into Elon and Davidson, although I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for in a college.
I would apply to more reach schools, Duke, Davidson, Vandy, Gtown, etc
I’m just worried about UNC-CH. I hear a lot of horror stories about students not getting in with great stats. Also, UNC had a record number of applicants this year. Do you think I still have a good shot?
Well, my GC says that UNC CH is very by the numbers, so if you hit all of their averages then you’re in. But don’t put all of your eggs in one basket, you do have other schools that you are just as into as UNC, correct?
Yes, I like other schools such as U of South Carolina, Tulane, and Wake Forest. I do not love any school as much as UNC, but I know that I would still be happy if I went to any of those.
Those all seem like sensible matches.
You should also consider UVA.
Maybe add some reaches in there
