<p>My best advice to you is to not over-think your admissions chances. If you are well-rounded, have a superb GPA, challenging courses, high class rank and are in-state, you are on track. However, they also put a lot of emphasis on essays and recommendations, so make sure those are top-notch. It is hard to figure out what they are looking for- I have seen students who I thought had no chance whatsoever get in, and some who seemed to have excellent chances not make it. So, apply to UNC but also have a good back-up school just in case. Good luck- their pharmacy program is excellent and UNC is a special place. Do you best on the application and then let it go- you can drive yourself crazy stressing until January!</p>
