Hi, I applied for UNC-CH regular decision because I wanted to take that first semester and improve my grades. Can anyone tell me my chances of getting into UNC-CH? And I am instate
ACT Score: 34 Composite
SAT Subject Test: 740 in Chemistry and 800 in Math
GPA: there is a GPA calculation issue with wake county… its not offocial… but my guidance counselor calculated it to be a 4.14. But, on my transcript, I had a 3.95 weigted GPA
Teacher Recs: I am pretty sure they will be above average or really good. I also had a recommendation from a UNC professor who I interned with over summer. Does that help at all?
ECs: I had average to above average ECs on my resume and common app
Essays: I am pretty sure I had decent essays…
Reason why my GPA is so low: my GPA does not reflect my intellect. In 10th grade, I received horrible grades due to personal problems (family). But, I rebounded in 11th grade getting all B’s and 1A. Then in 12th grade 1st semester, I received All A’s and one B. So, I have been on an upward trend. Does UNC-CH take this into account at all?
Can anybody guess my chance of getting in? I applied to GA Tech Engineering school and got waitlisted… I also got waitlisted from NorthEastern… the surprising thing is that I got denied from NC State.
