Idahoan wants to be a North Carolinian..Chances?

[neelesh]

<p>Ok, I am sending my app tomorrow....wish me luck!</p>

<p>SAT-1370 (710M,660V)
gpa-3.83, when i send them my midyear grades, it will be 3.91
EC-random ECs like volunteer work (500hrs), honor society, executive renaissance society, key club..stuff like that</p>

<p>Took hardest classes possible at my school
Taking SAT II's in a week</p>

<p>Out of State(idaho of course!)
Applying EA
Asian Indian</p>

<p>so....do you think i will get in? if its a reach, or match(which i know it is) could you maybe post percentages? like for example. 20% chance or something like that. (dear god i hope its not 20%)</p>

[joev]

<p>Which North Carolina school are you applying to. You are a shoo in at NC State. Duke might be a slight reach, while UNC would be a match.</p>

[AndrewD]

<p>Wow, I'm an Idahoan wanting to go to UNC as well. What school do you go to?</p>

<p>I go to Eagle.</p>

<p>I'm not trying to sound snobbish at all - but ncsu is so easy to get in (I applied October 15th, received acceptance 22nd, letters dated 20th) </p>

<p>for UNC, I don't know - you don't have a lot of ECs and leadership :-/</p>

[neelesh]

<p>I am applying to UNC-Chapel Hill.</p>

<p>lol. forgot to say that....</p>

<p>Andrew, i am from Idaho Falls, and go to Skyline High School.. Grrr..eagle. you guys beat us in tennis. lol..whats new...</p>

<p>bumpamustafamus once again!</p>

[AndrewD]

<p>Well, your SAT is a little higher, and my GPA is a little higher. Plus my essays are very good.</p>

<p>I figure you and I have about the same chance. What that chance is, I don't know.</p>

[neelesh]

<p>my essays are OK. i think you probably have a better shot at UNC because of your essays... i hope our chances are like 75% at least. :-)</p>

[AndrewD]

<p>75%.... Oh man you're insane if you think our chances are that good.</p>

<p>Optimistaclly, I see a 15% chance for me. Remember, 80% of people accepted at UNC have to be North Carolina residents.</p>

[pokey318]

<p>Make that 82% instate, 18% from out of state.</p>

[neelesh]

<p>erg...ok..5% chance of getting in then??</p>

[AndrewD]

<p>That's probably a closer estimate to our chances.</p>

<p>But 5% is still 5% and you never know.</p>

[neelesh]

<p>lol...maybe i can bribe them...hmmmmmmmmm</p>

[AndrewD]

<p>They already got my $60 application fee, what more do they want, lol?</p>

[neelesh]

<p>lol...maybe they want an idaho potato!!!</p>

[AndrewD]

<p>Man, where am I supposed to find a potato? Meridian is about as suburban as it gets.</p>

[neelesh]

<p>aah. i just turned in my app...</p>

[AndrewD]

<p>Nice, good luck to you! I submitted mine on Sunday. </p>
