<p>UNC-Match
NCSU-High Match
Duke- Reach</p>

<p>For Duke, try to raise your test scores. Everything else looks great!</p>

<p>You’re a match for UNC in state, and NCSU is definitely your safety. But I’d say Duke is very much a reach with your test scores. They’re on the low side for very selective schools. Other than that, your EC’s and stuff seem fine.</p>

<p>In state you are in UNC and NCSU
Duke is a reach, bring up ACT score and have a great chance

<p>SAT and ACT are too low for Duke, spot on for UNC, and too high for NCSU which is really a trash school so you shouldn’t even be looking there. Greensboro & Wilmington would be better safeties if you want to stay in-state. I recommend that you look at Wake Forest and Davidson if you can’t bare the though of leaving the state of North Carolina. If you don’t mind moving down a state or up a state, I would recommend also Clemson in SC or UVA, William & Mary, Richmond, and Washington & Lee in Virginia. I would say apply to Vanderbilt in Tennessee, to the West of you, but you don’t have the stats. Good luck, hope you get into your first choice!</p>
