Chance me for UNC Wilmington?

<p>I've always wanted to go to UNCW, but recently my guidance counselor advised me to look at closer schools in the event that I'm rejected. I am currently a junior, but college applications are fast approaching. I will be applying to the honors college as an environmental science and marine biology double major. For now I'm just trying to get a general opinion about my chances at UNCW. Thanks!</p>

<p>Why UNCW? Is there something you didn’t like at Penn State?</p>

<p>UNCW: Low match</p>

<p>Thank you! I’ve been to Wilmington quite a few times and I love the area, but more importantly I’ve heard UNCW has a very reputable marine biology program. As for Penn State, my brother goes there and I know it really is a great school, but I don’t think it’s the best place to be for me…</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>
