<p>NCSU: Low match/Match
UNC-CH: Match
American: Match
URichmond: Reach</p>

<p>I fail to see how the difference between your weighted and unweighted can be so great, I’d say UNC-CH is also somewhat of a reach for you.</p>

<p>@alicksmeow I’ve taken almost entirely honors and AP classes which are weighted +1 and +2 at my school. </p>

<p>@bedtimetea‌ Okay, sorry if I sounded a little condescending, it’s because my gpa is in a similar situation, but even with 8 AP’s and full honors courses, the gap isn’t quite 0.85. I realize it’s probably because electives like orchestra closened the gap a little. Even then, I’d say UNC-CH is still somewhat of a reach just because your unweighted is on the lower side. It does depend on the school you are in right now though.</p>

<p>@alicksmeow I’ve taken harder classes and made Bs in a quite a few of them but those classes were APs so still factor in as a 5 for my weighted GPA. Also I go to a nationally ranked school that’s very rigorous academically and UNC knows this. Besides NCSSM my school has one of the highest accpetance rates into UNC. About 100 people from my school end up at UNC each year because of the name and in-state tuition and even more get in but end up somewhere else. That being said, I’m not sure if I have what it takes to get in though.</p>

<p>Sorry I’m not sure why that posted twice </p>

<p>@bedtimetea‌ I think you have a good chance tbh, it was just that the previous commenter said it was a match, but the average stats are slightly above what you display. Good luck though! (I’m kind of in the same boat with the Bs and the GPA haha)</p>

<p>@alicksmeow thanks! Good luck to you too! (:</p>

<p>I do not have a clue about American or Richmond but NC State is a lock and UNC-CH looks promising.</p>

<p>Your stats and ECs look very good for NC State and in the good range for Carolina.</p>

<p>If you applied EA for NC State you should be hearing from them very soon. I do not see how you would not be accepted there. Great school if they have what you intend to study.</p>

<p>Being in-state will help with both schools. UNC’s acceptance rate for in-state applicants is approximately 50% and your stats look fine. Your SAT scores are above the median for those accepted. Your ECs are strong and your school being recognized as a top feeder school will help too. As mentioned, unweighted GPA is a bit low and your weighted score would look better if it was >4.5.</p>

<p>However, Carolina really is about the entire application package rather than just the numbers. Hopefully your essays are strong and give them a glimpse of what you have to offer the school. Also, strong recommendations help.</p>

<p>Best of luck to you.</p>

<p>Just in case you didn’t know NC State has made their decision for everyone who applied EA last night. So if you haven’t already seen it I’m sure you have been accepted with those stats.</p>

<p>@mrginga I decided to apply to NC state after the EA application deadline so I won’t hear back from them until March. Thank you though!</p>

<p>You seem to have a solid chance for UNC and high chance for NC state. Chance me back please?</p>

<p>@student9988 thanks! Any idead about American or Richmond?</p>

<p>For Richmond it would probably be a low reach, you really want to get over 2000 on your SAT and you’ll be fine I would think.</p>

<p>And you could almost definitely get into American University, if you look at a scatterplot of their scores you’re over the median! Also, they accept a higher percentage of applicants in comparison to UNC and Richmond.</p>

@student9988 thanks!

I would suggest taking the SAT again to possible receive a higher score just to increase your chance. Other than that it looks pretty lucky.
