Chance a kid who's freaking out?

[dannypkeeper]

<p>So UNC is my first choice and I'm so nervous about whether I'll get in.</p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>Male
White
From Maryland
Attend a small private school with a graduating class of 50. Nobody from my school has gotten in to UNC</p>

<p>3.8 GPA
32 ACT 2100 SAT (800 CR, 650 M, 650 W) both one sitting</p>

<p>I take either the 1st or 2nd most difficult schedule of anyone at my school</p>

<p>ECs:</p>

<p>Class President
Music Honor Society President
Varsity Soccer (4 years, won team MVP and leadership awards)
Varsity Lacrosse (4 years once the season starts
Basketball (One year on Varsity, 2 on JV)
Worked as a counselor (unpaid) at an academic camp for kids in the local middle school (2 summers)
NHS member
I run my school's peer tutoring program
1st sax in my school's jazz band
Play 4 types of sax, 2 types of clarinet, trombone, and percussion
member of my school's theater tech crew since freshman year</p>

<p>Recs were really good, my teacher told me it was one of the best she had ever written
Essays were pretty good I think. My common app one was about Shaquille O'neal, and my UNC supplement was about matzoh ball soup. </p>

<p>oh, and I was national merit commended</p>

<p>Another question: Is there anyway to update UNC about stuff? I've won some awards and made the Varsity Basketball team, but neither are on my commonapp.</p>

<p>Hey! I’m a current UNC student, so I can probably give you a general idea. The fact that you’re OOS makes your chances small, as UNC only accepts 18%. Your GPA does fall a little below the average UNC student GPA, but not by much. Your test scores are very good, so no worries there. Also, your ECs are fantastic, so that makes you very competitive. While I’m not an admissions officer, I do think you stand a fair to pretty good chance, as long as your essays were good. If you applied EA, I don’t know if anything you send can be considered now, but if you applied RD, it might be. Best of luck!</p>
