Applying for Computer Science, I’m not sure if that matters

Demographics: In state, White, Male, live in a higher population county (I’ve heard that rural students have an easier time)

New SAT: 1430 (720 Math, 710 Reading), 750 Math II Subject Test

GPA: Weighted: 4.667/6 (AP As = 6, Honors As = 5), Unweighted 3.833 Five AP’s (AP Human Geography , APUSH, APES, Calc AB, and BC) All A’s in Math classes(taking AP Calc AB and BC this year)
Took Programming 1, 2 and I’m taking Cybersecurity this year

ECs: JV/Varsity Cross Country 4 Years and Captain Senior Year
8hr a week job Junior/Senior Year
Year-round and JV Baseball For 2 years
Beta Club (academic service club) for 1 year
NSLC Engineering Camp over the Summer between Junior and Senior year
Some volunteering before I got the Job

Recommendations from me Precalc teacher and Programming/Cybersecurity teacher. They both liked me and I had A’s, so they should be good.

I know my extracurricular activities are a little weak and I only have 5 AP’s, however I’ve always done well in math. My SAT score isn’t too bad as well.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I guess I should also mention my class rank is 114/624

I think everything but class rank looks really good. Typically they take kids in the top 10%. My Junior son’s rank is similar to yours. I’m hopeful, but I guess we will see. FYI, there are no county quotas any more, so that is good for you. Please post back and let us know the outcome!

I agree and think you look good. UNC no longer abides by quotas, so your county doesn’t matter. I’ve heard that 5 APs is their minimum (hearsay), and I’m not sure which ones you took. Rigor of courseload is very important to them. I think you’d get in, but I would love it if you could post back and let us know.
