Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Its always been my dream to go to Carolina, I make pretty good grades in school, All A's and B's and the occasional C. All my classes now are either Seminar or Honors. I took the PSAT and did pretty good for my age, I am currently a member of the Principal's Advisory Council at my school, I do a lot of vonlunteer work, and next year I will be taking mostly AP classes. Is there any hope for me?</p>

<p>Are you in state for UNC or OOS? We’d need to see more exact results than what you have posted to give you a helpful answer!</p>

<p>If you look at the UNC forum, EA applicants have posted their stats and their decision (admitted, denied, deferred). You can compare your stats to theirs.</p>

<p>Okay, well, check out the UNC board for more specific advice, but just as a general note, you need to be very concerned about those C’s. IMO- for someone instate, they are going to be a pretty big red flag for admissions. If your GPA has recovered enough (i.e. you have around a 4.1+ weighted), then it might not be a problem, but just try to limit those as much as possible. Good grades alone can’t get you into Carolina, class rank/course rigor is also very important.</p>

<p>Anyway, don’t give up hope, just try to improve your test scores and GPA. I got into Carolina in-state with a 3.3UW/3.5W GPA, so there definitely are anomalies, but you just need to make that everything (and I mean everything: test scores, EC, etc) are stellar.</p>

<p>Ok thanks, as of last year my GPA was 3.7W, and I have been working extremely hard to improve that. And the C’s are only in one subject and with the tutoring I am starting I think i can eliminate them.</p>

<p>i think you definitely have a chance. a 3.7 isnt bad. just try to keep those grades up and you should be fine. i wouldnt mind a chance back :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/861966-chance-me-please-cmu-cornell-wvu-others.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/861966-chance-me-please-cmu-cornell-wvu-others.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks everyone. This summer I plan on attending a leadership program at NC State, which I’ve heard looks good on a application. Does anyone have any suggestions on programs that will look good to college’s?</p>
