Congratulations on your achievements, sorry that Duke didn’t work out.
Did you make the EA (and scholarship/honors college) deadlines for the schools on your list that have EA (UNC, NC State, App State, ECU, Charlotte)? Are you applying for financial aid?
You might have your HS GC take a look at your application and essays, just to give everything the once over. Posters have no idea if you have the rigor in your classes for an elite school. If so, definitely send in a few reach apps. Have you considered sending in additional apps for some more match schools? Does your HS use naviance? If so, is UNC a match or reach?
