<p>Seems like you would have a solid shot, but by no means a shoo-in.</p>

3

<p>If you take your SATs again and raise your score by around 40-60 points you would be a lock. If you have any ECs or play any sports be sure to list those. Academically, you look strong.</p>

<p>Thanks! Another question, do you think that having the girl scout gold award on my application is worth waiting till regular admission or should I apply early admission without it on there?</p>

5

<p>Early without it.</p>

<p>Anybody have a differing opinion on the gold award? I don’t have the impression it hurts you much to apply at the regular admission deadline, and I would think the gold award would be an impressive credential. I wonder if it someone in Admissions would be willing to answer that question. I don’t know if either of the following blogs are still active, but you might want to give it a try:

<p>Sorry, I blew it when copying one of the web addresses above. The UNC GAA link has nothing to do with Admissions. The other Admissions blog is:</p>

<p>You have a good chance.</p>

<p>most likely in-- deff apply early</p>

<p>Doesn’t matter if your Gold Award is completed at the time of application - as long as your proposal has been approved and you WILL be earning it - I’m working on mine too right now (: This is the answer I got from an admissions rep at UNC.</p>

<p>OMG! That is such a relief! Thank you so much! I thought I would have to rush to finish it and then hope that the committee approved my final report the first time. So on the application do you put the gold award as already completed or do you mention your still working on it? Thank you so much for your help!</p>

<p>I said that I was a candidate to receive the Gold Award, and was in the process of currently completing my project, and that I had a completion date of Fall 2009. No problem!</p>
