Arab American female from Charlotte, NC. I don’t expect to get into UNC, but I’m really hoping for NC State.

Weighed GPA: 2.99

AP English (5 on exam)
AP Psychology (4 on exam)
Otherwise, mostly honors classes
3 years of French

2 enthusiastic teacher recommendations

35 English
23 Math
30 Reading
22 Science
6 Writing Subscore
30 Comb. English/Writing

Also retrying the ACT after finishing a prep class; expecting 30+ composite.

Not that this matters, but I was diagnosed with ADD last year.

Democratic National Convention internship
Writing for student newspaper (12th grade)
Four-day journalism workshop on UNC campus
French club (2 years, nothing special)
