<p>I’m thinking about possible colleges that I could apply to, and UNC - Chapel Hill is a HIGH PRIORITY on my list, as a matter of fact, it’s really the only school I want to go to. I know Chapel Hill is a very hard school to get into, so I was just wondering; do colleges look primarily at end-of-semester report cards or do they look at individual grades, projects, mid-term reports, etc. ? </p>
<p>Also, one other quick question - I plan to double major in Sociology and Criminal Justice. The only problem is, Carolina does not have a Criminal Justice program. Can you take online classes towards a major? If I couldn’t, then I am not too worried about that. I’m more for a Sociology major anyway.</p>
<p>If you could help me out, please help! Also, if you are a student at UNC Chapel Hill, ANY advice you have about that school would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!</p>
<p>-I am a Freshman in a High School in North Carolina, so I’m in state! Is there anything else I can do to boost my chances of getting in to Chapel Hill?</p>
<p>Woah. A freshman.</p>
<p>I’m not quite sure how accurate College Board is, but I suppose it’s reliable. There’s a lot of information about different colleges there, and you can find information about UNC Chapel Hill there, such as its most important admissions factors, tuition, average SAT scores, etc.</p>
<p>Colleges, I’m pretty sure, first look at your midterm report. But if you let your senior grades slip and wind up with a D, your acceptance could be rescinded. It could be rescinded even if your grades dropped down to a C. I think. I could be overstating things.</p>
<p>You can’t major in something the school doesn’t offer, so taking online courses could get you a degree, but not from the university you attend. It would come from the online university.</p>
<p>And if I’m wrong about anything…well, I hope someone corrects me.</p>
<p>But yeah, keep your grades up, be open to changes, but if you’re really into sociology you should participate in things that would express your interest in it, etc, etc…</p>
<p>Colleges look at your transcript. Everything that’s there is…there. But, that’s usually 1st and 2nd semester grades for each class that gets a grade. Some schools show a final grade for the year. Some include any or all SAT and/or ACT scores. Speak with your GC. And, make sure you have the college costs talk with your parents. </p>
<p>If any college has supplemental questions about why you chose a particular possible major, be certain you understand what that major is about. Many kids get confused about some of the social sciences.</p>
