<p>Is NC State really a low reach? I will probably pick app. I am really trying for CH. Thanks for the help :D</p>
<p>Yeah now that I think about it it’s more like a mid-high reach. If you want unc to be a match then you need to raise you sat, gpa and write outstanding essays</p>
<p>I plan on it xD !!! My essays will be BA! Writing is something I can do while running a marathon so I’m not too worried about the essays 
but yeah, NC State is a med reach I guess.</p>
<p>Duke, UNC, Wake Forest… you would need at least 2100+ on the SAT to have a chance to get in. Well, maybe 1900-2000 for UNC.
NC State raising it to like 550 average each will help you. Greensboro and Appalachian I believe you’re in.</p>
<p>Wake, UNC and Duke are pretty much out for you. You basically have no chance at them. NC State is a maybe, if you do well this semester and get you SAT higher. App. St, ECU and Greensboro are matches. You should do fine there.</p>
<p>Your gpa would actually put you in range for any of the state schools if only you could get your SAT scores up in the 600 range - that includes Chapel Hill.
As far as Wake and Duke go, I’m afraid you’re not in the range for either. If you’re a minority and/or you have interesting extra-curriculars, you might have a fighting shot at WT, but I don’t think you can get into Duke even on a good day - don’t be discouraged, most kids can’t.
I wish you the best of luck!</p>
<p>Thanks you all for your advice and input! I know Duke is a long shot and I would NEVER get in. Are you all fro north Carolina? I’m curious because I would love to keep you up to date if you want? Maybe ask for advice as well :3</p>
<p>Duke and Wake are pretty much out for you. You might be able to get into UNC if you get your SAT scores into the 670+ range. Everywhere else shouldn’t be too bad.</p>
<p>Do you have a reason for your grades?</p>
<p>Could you chance me back please?</p>

<p>Well, my grades aren’t bad, but I wasn’t a very good student in 9th grade and I made a lot of Cs is all. I’m hoping this year to dramatically improve I guess</p>
