<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>I think you’re basically IN almost everywhere. SAT is decent, a bit low, but you are a URM (wayyy underrepresented) so it should help make up for the deficiency. I have a friend who got into prestigious colleges with 1900 something on the SAT.</p>

5

<p>Williams, JHU, Amherst will be reaches, but you are URM so that will help. The other schools you should be fine at. Your SAT is a bit low though so you could try to raise that before you apply.</p>

6

<p>Thanks to everyone who’s commented. If anyone else would like to comment it would be greatly appreciated.</p>

7

<p>bro, you can aim higher for your ED</p>

<p>good stuff man, keep workin</p>

8

<p>I don’t know about that. My SAT score isn’t that great and my GPA is only a 3.73. Anyone Else?</p>

9

<p>if i were you, i would apply to stanford, harvard, couple others just to see what happens with your URM status.</p>

10

<p>I may be weird when I say this but I would rather go to North Carolina - Chapel Hill than go to Harvard. I just don’t expect to get in.</p>

11

<p>What do you like so much about UNC? Are you OOS? Are you applying for FA?</p>

<p>I agree with the other people who are saying to aim higher, but since UNC is your first choice then don’t.</p>

12

<p>FYI, UNC does not have ED. Are you OOS? If so, I think UNC would be a big reach.</p>

13

<p>I’m actually applying Early Action. I accidentally typed Early Action. Sadly I am out of state.</p>

14

<p>You still are as the guy said above an under represented minority. You have a pretty good academic background that will attach with the minority status. You probably will get into almost all those schools even if your out of state.</p>
