<p>not a high chance, your stats are medicore. especially that 3.3 gpa/</p>

3

<p>You should be just fine as an in-state applicant; I’d be surprised if you didn’t make it.</p>

4

<p>I think you’ll get in.</p>

5

<p>Thanks for the honesty 2010Here, I really do appreciate that!
Also thanks to wjhsxc and Secret Asian Man, I hope you two are right!</p>

<p>i think you have a pretty solid chance. Low GPA hurts when UNC stresses it the most. Still would be surprised if you didn’t get in. I’d say low reach.</p>

<p>you’re 100% in dude. I had a friend, she had like 3.5 UW GPA and she didn’t really take hard classes. But her parents spent over $1000 for her SAT tutor. She ended up getting a 2050 and getting into Chapel Hill</p>

<p>i came to realize that posting your stats is not too bright of an idea. I went to Tarheel Shadow Program, and the admissions officer, Dave said this web blog is total bullcrap. So all I’m saying is dont take other comments too seriously, there is not such thing as a perfect applicant for Carolina. In fact, I know a girl who received a 20 on the ACTs and high GPA, and she got in. So anyone who they find interesting is a good applicant. So for the future, no more stat posting please. :)</p>

<p>did the admissions officer give any sites to find out if we have a good chance or not?</p>

<p>You can’t trust any sites or sources for chances. Just wait till decision day, no reason stressing.</p>
