UNC-CH OOS is a very difficult admit as the state government requires 82% enrollment to be NC resident, so tons of apps vying for 18% capacity. As you know, your SAT is low (perhaps you can take it again).

It’s fine to apply, but don’t be overly excited about it. Do yourself a favor. Think what about UNC makes it your dream school. Try to find similar characteristics in other schools that are easier admits. I know that’s not what you want to hear, but it’s realistic.
