As a resident of NC and legacy to UNC, with that UW GPA, and since the SAT requirements have been dropped this cycle, I would say that your chances are excellent. I would put UNC as a match for you, even perhaps low match.

Again, no real need to worry about test scores, since they are not required, so I do not think that they would have much of a negative impact on an application which is, otherwise, pretty strong.

Good luck!
