<p>Extracurricular: Here are just some, I realize I won't have space on the common app for everything so these are my best, I have a lot of EC's because I was convinced I was dumb freshman year and that I needed to makeup for that by doing EC's lol:</p>

<p>It isn’t even a question of whether or not you will get in–that’s a definite. If you bring up your rank or test scores a bit you would be a likely candidate for Scholarship Day/Robertson/Morehead and almost certainly invited to Excel @ Carolina and Honors. </p>

<p>I’m a first-year at Carolina now. You WILL get in. They love people who are on top of their game from rural parts of NC. Good luck, but you don’t really need it :slight_smile: </p>
