<p>What are my chances of getting in? I'm really nervous, and I really want to go to UNC. Please let me know! Also, please advise if I should change my classes or if I should for sure take some classes that are on my Possibly list.</p>

<p>Take the SAT again if possible to see if you can raise your reading and writing scores a bit. All of your other stats are excellent, and you are in-state, so you have a great chance of getting in.</p>

3

<p>If you can raise it to a 2000, it would be a match.
If you can raise it even higher, you should be ‘golden’</p>

4

<p>I won’t make the SAT in time, but I will take the ACT and submit that with my application. What does my ACT need to be to be good to go?</p>
