<p>I am in-state, will be in marching band, and will be taking the most rigorous courses available to me. What should I do starting this year in order to get accepted into unc chapel hill?</p>
<p>never get complacent.</p>
<p>I thought i was a geniust aking the most rigorous courseload and was way above my peers. turned out this was not the case. I did nto study at all junior year and it really hit my GPA. ALso I did not prepare for the psat, ended up scoring a 201 which really pained me.</p>
<p>Never consider yourself above your peers, realize that it’s always a challenge. You already know what you want, so shoot for the stars.</p>
<p>I’d recommend you stop thinking about what you can do to fit UNC’s standards. Instead, shape your high school ECs and course load around YOUR interests, and come junior/senior year, you can figure out what colleges would fit YOUR needs at that time.</p>
<p>Don’t try to seem like a model student… do what interests you. Expose yourself to a variety of clubs/interests to find out what you like, then stick with them and try to get leadership roles. Keep your grades up, but maintain a rigorous schedule. Also, don’t waste your summers. Get internships, take classes, do anything to help yourself stand out as a motivated individual</p>
