<p>Applied early action. Although there are only six days left the wait is killing me, so maybe this will kill some time.</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT I (by section): 740 CR, 690 M, 700 W
SAT IIs: USH 770, Math II 700
GPA, Unweighted and Weighted:UW 3.7, W 4.2 (Valedictorian has 4.5 if that helps with point weighting)
Hardest Course Load with 9 AP's Total
Rank: Top 10% </p>

<p>APs (including this year's): Past: AP Euro 5 , AP English Language 5 , AP Calc AB 3, APUSH 5, </p>

<p>Location/Person:[list][<em>] State or Country:Miami, FL[</em>] School Type[li] Ethnicity:White Gender:Male</p>[/li]
<p>Subjective:
ECs listed on app:</p>

<p>Very Involved in Debate and Forensics: Competed all four years of high school (Director for Extemporaneous Speaking and Public Forum debate)11,12</p>

<p>Placed at numerous national tournaments mostly in Public Forum and even Student Congress</p>

<p>Semi-Finalist Yale Invitational </p>

<p>Semi-Finalist Crestian Classic</p>

<p>Finalist Wake Forest Early Bird Tournament </p>

<p>Presiding Officer at UPenn Liberty Bell Tournament (Student Congress)</p>

<p>Attended Harvard Invitational.</p>

<p>Qualified for state tournament in Extemporaneous Speaking</p>

<p>Won 3rd Place at local tournament. </p>

<p>Other stuff is typical:</p>

<p>Mu Alpha Theta
NHS
100 Community service hours by tutoring 6th graders in math.
Spanish Club</p>

<p>Essay's: The short one was a little risky and the long one was cliche at times, but really well written. Overall I liked them. </p>

<p>Teacher Recs (if you saw them): Did not see them but can guess they were about average.
Counselor Rec (if you saw them): Pretty good; she has gotten people admitted to UNC before. </p>

<p>Hook (TASP, RSI, Research, etc.): Male not applying for any financial aid? I'm hoping in this economic situation of decreasing endowments not applying for aid might help me since I'm a little borderline. </p>

<p>Also UNC loves my school since we are a well known rigorous private school; 7 of the 11 who applied (all OOS) were admitted last year</p>

<p>I really want to get in EA because UNC is not only one of my top choices, but I can really see myself at Chapel Hill next year.</p>

<p>Thanks and leave a link if you want to be chanced back!</p>

<p>I think you have a solid chance. Your unweighted GPA might be a little low, but your weighted GPA and SAT’s look within range. Pretty sure UNC doesn’t care about whether you are applying for aid. Debate EC’s look unique. </p>

<p>Either way, I think you have a really good shot, but I wouldn’t be that surprised if you were deferred.</p>

<p>In I think, but I’m not an expert by any means. Test scores/GPA a little low, lacking diversity in ECs. EA probably helps, so good luck!</p>

<p>you have a good chance. SATs are a little low but still within range for OOS. ECs are good. I would say you have about an even chance or more. Being OOS is just hard. I am also applying EA OOS and am also anxious. Good Luck!</p>
