Chance an AVERAGE yet UNUSUAL junior!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a junior and live in NC (Durham County).
I have been home schooled my entire life.</p>

<p>ECs:
I have a working student under the UNC-Chapel Hill Equestrian team coach/PE Teacher for the past 5 years.</p>

<p>I have had 2 jobs since I was 15.</p>

<p>I was on my Church's youth Council for 4 years, VP for 1 year, I expect to president senior year.</p>

<p>I've been teaching beginner riding at a summer camp for the past 3 years.</p>

<p>I will be volunteering with a (large-animal) vet this summer.</p>

<p>I've bought, cared for and trained my horse (ex-racehorse) from the ground up with no financial help from my parents. I am very committed to her and that is where the majority of my time is spent out side of school.</p>

<p>I am taking classes at a local community college and I've gotten all A's so far (Biology, Chemistry, intro Sociology, intro Business).</p>

<p>My SAT scores are not great (1790, CR:670, M:520 WR:590 E:8) but have been getting tutoring and feel like I've improved and took the May Sat. My biggest difficulty is math, I am fine with solving equations but taking the word problems and making them equations is difficult for me, I always want to make it more complicated then needed. I LOVE Critical reading and my writing is so so.</p>

<p>I also will be taking the ACT soon and I think I will do better on it than the SAT. I also will be taking SAT IIs - Lit and Bio, I expect to do well.</p>

<p>My GPA is currently about a 3.7 unweighted but I am trying to bring it up before the end of the year.</p>

<p>Recommendation letters will be from my Trainer (UNC PE teacher/coach), my Sociology/Psychology teacher (from the CC), combined letter from the UNC Equestrian Team, all I expect to be excellent.</p>

<p>I will NOT need financial aid, my mom got her graduates degree and my grandfather got his graduates and pharmaceutical degree at UNC.</p>

<p>My goal is to eventually get into UNC's Pharmacy school.</p>

<p>Chance me for: UNC-CH, NC State, VA Tech, Appalachian, UNC Charlotte, Campbell University.</p>

<p>I’m sorry you never seem to get any bites :(</p>

<p>Nobody seems to know what to do w/ a homeschooler. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Just chance me like any other student…</p>

<p>If you can get a rec from your Equestrian guy, you should be in.</p>

<p>Home schooling kids are always wild cards, from what i’ve heard. But you can get in i’m sure. you have very interesting ECs! :]</p>

<p>Thank you Jenni, I just do what I enjoy.</p>

<p>For those of you who don’t know what to do with me because I am homescooled what would you say if I were at a public school w/ the same stats?</p>

<p>Chancing as if you were a regular kid…
I’d say that you are probably in at VT and Appalachian (assuming that you can pull your SATs into the 600s). </p>

<p>Get some SAT II’s in there (in the 650+ range), too to give you an edge at Campbell and NC State.</p>

<p>Not too familiar with the other schools, though. </p>

<p>Good luck :)!</p>
