<p>ACT: 25 not submitted....</p>

<p>SAT 2: Math 2C:800
Chem: waiting but probably low 600s even high 500s so unlikely to
submit this score
Korean waiting for the score but most likely to be 800 (it was a safety net for chem
so I can apply to schools that require 2 SAT 2s.</p>

<p>GPA 94.xx/100 UW Class Rank not provided but expecting top 10% (specifically 7%)
Catholic School in Boston with approx 141 students in my class
NO AP SCORES before the application, but 4 AP in my senior year(Stat,BC CAL,Chem,Econ)
+7 honors class</p>

<p>definitely one of my top choices
but the fact that UNC only picks 1% of IS is just daunting....
Even if you are not familiar with an IS applicant
please give a piece of advice before I submit anything...
thanks guys</p>

<p>What’s IS?</p>

<p>oops…
it’s international student
ppl might be confused with In State…</p>

<p>It comes down to your essays, but you’re competitive even for international admission.</p>

<p>I would increase those CR scores. You seem to be competetive, so focus on making your essays compelling enough for your colleges of interest. :)</p>

<p>I did use my favorite essay as the long essay (free topic)
I don’t know if UNC will like it too, but it is the best piece
I can write out of all the college app essays…
I know my CR is relatively lower, but it already is a huge improvement.
I am not sure how much i can improve in CR by Jan SAT.
Thank you guys</p>

<p>I’d focus on the essays, and not another SAT.</p>
