The Early Action deadline for UNC is really early: October 15. If you take the ACT in September, you may have your results back by the EA deadline (but you may want to check with the UNC admissions office to find out whether they must be submitted by the EA deadline, or whether you can send them along later if necessary). Otherwise, apply to UNC as an RD applicant if you can get your test scores up a bit, AND if you think that you can get a boost from your Fall Semester grades.

If you are in-state for Georgia, what about Georgia Tech? You might have a little better chance getting in there (although it also has an October 15 deadline for EA applicants). Or, you might consider Emory University – Oxford College (which after 2 years should get you to the main campus of Emory).

If you have not been to Furman or Rhodes, I recommend a campus visit to both schools; they are lovely.
