I am from North Carolina and many of my friends went to UNC and they had lower credentials but in state students have a much higher acceptance rate. I think your GPA will be an issue for both those NC schools as well as Vandy. Not sure about the CA schools.

4

Your chances are low for UCLA and USC, more so for UCLA, as UCs care more for GPA than score - Low Reach

5

Whats your unweighted gpa?

6

GL with your UNC application. I highly recommend it.

@bksoccer7 no idea. my HS doesn’t give us that data. we don’t do class rank either

Duke is still a reach but you have a good shot of getting in with that ACT. The main downside of your app are your grades. If you have a 3.89 weighted than im assuming you have multiple Bs an maybe even Cs. UNC is most likely a match if you are in-state. If you are OOS than it will be hard for you but even then you have a shot. IDK about the other schools.
