Hello all,
UNC is my top choice School as I applied early action. I am a Hispanic, out of state applicant. My weighted GPA is 4.5 and my ACT is 34 (35 super scored). I come from a Catholic school in Washington, D.C. What do you guys think?
What’s the unweighted GPA?
3.95 however that doesn’t show up on transcript
@coolguy40 I basically have A’s in everything except for a B+ in honors/AP English each year
Chances are excellent, but the school is out of state, which could be a slight disadvantage. That’s only half the battle, though. Remember that your parents have to pay for the out of state tuition which is generally triple the in-state cost. The most you can take out in federal student loans for a 4 year degree is $27k. Parents pay the rest.
Do you believe being a Hispanic helps my chances significantly?
@yvngslurp UNC is relentlessly looking to increase its diversity, especially in the wake of the recent controversy with the Silent Sam statue. You’re hispanic with a 34. Youre in there in swimwear. There’s almost no doubt
Bump
If you were in-state, I have little doubt you’d be in. However, OOS admissions are on-par with actual Ivy League schools and are almost impossible to predict with certainty. Extracurriculars and an outstanding essay will help you stand out from the pack.
