I’m sorry, but I don’t think your extracurriculars are going to make up for your grades. Probably 95% of the out of state kids I’ve met were in the top 10% of their classes. While your extracurriculars are extremely impressive, grades are also a huge factor, especially in OOS students. You’re going to need to raise your ACT and work really hard in your classes this year. They would rather you scale back on your extracurriculars to focus on academics.

Also, UNC doesn’t do interviews because of the sheer number of applicants. You do have room on the application to explain anything you didn’t say elsewhere, and I would also recommend highlighting your leadership positions in your essays.
