Being from a non-metro county of NC (ex. NOT from mecklenburg, wake, orange counties to some degree) really helps you with UNC-CH admissions. If your SAT score does rise (2000s) I drop some of those other schools like ECU, Fayetteville State since you’ll be a shoe in at Chapel Hill. You already look strong for instate admission. To quote from a recent thread, “you will be very hard pressed to find a school that is the same caliber as UNC, will cost no more than UNC, and that [you] can get into.”

If budget is a concern, I wouldn’t really look into Wake, UVa, W&M, University of Illinois OOS/Private since they are so much more expensive.

Definitely keep reach schools like Duke, WUSTL, Vanderbilt on your list and see where your SAT retakes get you.

Good luck!
