What are my chances, and do I explain the D on my essay??? Thanks!</p>
<p>-forgot a few extracurriculars</p>
<p>How does your SAT score break out?</p>
<p>IOW, what are your scores with CW?</p>
<p>730 Critical Reading, 730 Writing, and a 650 Math
I’m sorry, I don’t know what the abbreviations IOW/CW stand for.
thank you for responding, though!</p>
<p>Your in-state, so your very likely in… </p>
<p>OOS would be a very different outcome…</p>
<p>(Just FYI for other students. UNC is required to be 80% in state, so it’s much harder to be accepted as a OOS student)</p>
<p>even though you’re in state, your D is probably going to prevent you going into unc</p>
<p>yeah the D needs to be explained to admissions in the essays. Sorry but your essays are going to have to be outstanding. UNC usually won’t accept people with a D, not likely to accept people with C’s.</p>
<p>^I would explain it, but I don’t think it’s quite that huge of a deal. I took several online AP classes and I didn’t do well in most of them… I’m hoping it won’t keep me from being accepted</p>
<p>In all, very few people did well; many students who had already been accepted earned D’s in their online AP classes… and UNC did not contact them about doing better or anything. I think they know these online AP classes are crap.</p>
<p>Oh, and I would have your counselor do the explaining. That’s what I’m doing.</p>
<p>Will it make a difference that you are an international student?</p>
<p>A single D in a class will not prohibit you from getting into UNC. It will be hard, and the rest of your coursework will have to prove that that grade was a fluke, but don’t count yourself out of the running yet especially with your SAT scores being as strong as they are.</p>
