I’m about to start applying to schools and would love some advice. My #1 is UNC Chapel Hill, but I’m also applying to UNC Charlotte, UNC Wilmington, UNC Asheville, Elon, App State, Georgia, and UCSD (dad lives in california and wants me to apply).
Anyways, here are my stats! Any feedback would be appreciated.

I already wrote my essays and have asked my boss and AP Bio teacher to write me a recommendation since she knows me from being the advisor of Animal Protection Club and has a lot of positive experiences with me.
Again, I know my SAT isn’t fabulous, but I think most schools take grades and GPA into higher consideration so I don’t think it will drag me down that much, especially since I’m in-state for my top schools.
Thanks for any help!
