Hey fellas, I’m currently a freshman at an NC Community College
My stats are:
HS GPA: 3.33 W: 3.7
SAT: 1400
College GPA: 4.0 (a little worried because I’m only taking 13 hours this semester, but I’m taking 16 next semester and will have 41 transferable credits)
HS ECs:
-Varsity Tennis
-Student Council Secretary + Senior Class Treasurer
-Debate Team
-Student Research project (we basically gathered stream data and then presented it to city council to pass policy changes— I worked a lot more on the policy writing side)
College ECs:
Mainly just paid work, but also lots of activism + political campaign work
A little worried about my lack of credits this semester, but my essays really really demonstrate passion for what I want to do (political science), so I’m kinda like half confident.
tbh dude, i was accepted as a transfer student from an nc community college with all A’s and 3 B’s (not sure what that would equate to GPA wise as I don’t feel like logging into connect carolina to check how many classes exactly), but it at the least was a few semesters worth of grades. My hs grades were a joke, I was bottom of the barrel. I decided to buckle down (I guess?) in community college and did well enough to earn acceptance. I think the essays are a big part in it, unc really cares about your individual story. I wrote about my determinitation to do well and make up for the mistakes I made in hs and it worked for me. Write solid essays and you should be good! Your community college GPA couldn’t be better, and 12 credits is still full-time so why worry there, plus your HS stats aren’t bad at all. Good luck, hope you get in!
