<p>i think u have an okay chance... the only thing that doesn't look great is your weighted gpa (still not bad though) everything else looks GREAT so i think you have a shot</p>

<p>Thanks. For the record, that was an educated guess at my weighted GPA. I'm not sure exactly how the system works, but I think I have a roughly 102% average weighted. </p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>How many AP's do you have? If I am reading things correctly, it looks like you have 2 AP's. One last year, and one this year. Carolina looks strongly at the rigor of courses one has taken. Does your school offer more AP courses? Have you taken the most challenging courses available to you? Your EC's look great though and you have other good stats.
OOS acceptance is so difficult. You might have an uphill battle.</p>

<p>The amount of AP's available at my school is extremely limited. I've taken all of the AP's available to me minus one this year (AP Calculus), which means my courseload is one class shy from the most rigorous possible. Otherwise, I have taken one AP last year and three AP's this year. The rest of my classes both junior and senior year have been Honors. No Honors classes are available in 9th or 10th grade.</p>
