<p>You seem very well rounded and well prepared to me. The CR 730 is definitely a big plus. I think you have a definite shot, especially as UNC looks at apps holistically – and your ECs are quite impressive!</p>

<p>Contrary to LadyDianeski’s positive response…I would like to inform that unless your weighting system is skewed in your school, your weighted GPA is on the downside for UNC. In-state accepted students usually have a 4.6 gpa or higher. Seeing that you are OOS, that will make it tough for you. However, UNC takes a hollistic approach–so just hope the rest of your app outweighs the gpa deal.</p>

<p>SAT scores and ECs look great!
The GPA isn’t that high for an OOS studentt though…
I think you have a shot though!</p>

<p>@Polobear, 4.6? I don’t know much about UNC admissions but that’s CRAZY high for in-state students at a state school. Are you sure that’s correct? That’s a valedictorian-esque GPA…</p>
