Hey guys I know this is probably one of the more-annoying types of threads but I could really use some outside perspective. It’s always been my dream to get into UNC, but as an out of state kid from Connecticut, I realize that it is a huge longshot. I’m just wondering where you think I might stand in terms of acceptance… I applied EA and was deferred, so they didn’t like what they saw too much, but at the same time they weren’t too unimpressed, I guess.

4.1 weighted GPA
2130 SAT, (800 math, 700 writing, 630 reading)
I play varsity baseball, and play in league teams for it all year round
NHS member
I’ve done a decent amount of community service
720 math II SAT II, 710 us history SAT II
4 on AP stat and ap us history exams
since I was deferred I’ve heard that midyear grades are pretty important, mine were:
AP English Literature: A-
AP Calculus AB: A
AP Physics: B
Accounting I: A+
Humanities: A

I know how hard it would be to get in, but it would really be a dream come true. The good thing is that I’m not 100% dependent on getting accepted in terms of getting a quality education, I’ve already been accepted into the Honors Program at Tulane with a $24,000 a year scholarship, so at least that pressure is off.

Thanks for all your help guys.
