Is my schedule good enough for early app?

<p>I went to project uplift in May and when the admissions counselors talked to us, they said that our schedule should be strong if we’re applying early. My schedule is:</p>

<p>Computerized Accounting I (online)
Criminal Justice 3 (@ my local community college)
AP Stat
French III Honors (online, yearlong)
AP Lit (yearlong)</p>

<p>French IV Honors
Criminal Justice 4 (@ community college)
Annual(yearbook/journalism)
French III Honors (online, yearlong)
AP Lit (yearlong)
And then Calculus @ the community college since I couldn’t fit it into my high school schedule</p>

<p>My main concern is that I know they mentioned liking ap courses over dual enrollment. Also, does my schedule look strong or do I have too many electives? Any appropriate responses will be greatly appreciated</p>

<p>It really depends on your school and the type of resources it has. The class rank is a good determinent of your standing and chances. The best you can do is apply. If you’ve taken easy classes in comparison to the rest of your class in the past and are now thinking to raise the bar—mmm, there might be a problem then.
Dual enrollment is not looked down upon actually. If you’re school provides a lot of APs and stuff, then it would be, but I still wouldn’t see anything wrong with it. But if you do dual enrollment b/c your school lacks APs, then that makes you seem a more promising candidate for UNC.
I would look at other colleges/unis if you are iffy about UNC b/c ed is a good shot for you but also keep in mind that strong players go into it too.</p>

<p>What other things did the counselor say? Was it just that you need to have a strong Senior course list?</p>

<p>I think your senior schedule looks fine. Just make sure that you’re taking a challenging courseload. </p>

I also went to Project Uplift, and I believe I heard from the same admissions officer the OP was talking about. He mainly discussed what it takes to put together a strong application. Things like a strong transcript, good recs, extra-curricular activities (leadership positions), involvement, test scores, essays, etc.</p>
