Recommendations- Should be good to very good. I chose two very articulate teachers who care a lot about me.</p>

<p>in state or OOS?</p>

<p>Sorry- oos.</p>

<p>Probably a reach just bc of GPA (the one thing that UNC values more than SAT/ACT) and OOS status, but you definitely have a very solid shot at gaining admission. Good luck!</p>

<p>Are you kidding?? American Indian–you are in dude (dudette)?<br>
I saw your posting on the UVA site too, where your American Indian status was noted too.
Otherwise, I mean without the URM status, I’d say that UNC and UVA are difficult reaches for you.
I guess my response really hinges on whether or not you are applying as a Native American and have tribe documentation/affiliation?
You have posted this on other sites too (Yale, Davidson, Amherst…), I’ll be curious to follow the responses. Best to you.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone. Anyone else with chances?</p>
