Chance Me- UNC Chapel Hill and NC State??

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>NC Resident
Unweighted GPA- 3.84
Weighted GPA- 4.85
SAT- (Bad, I know.....) 1620 540 M 550 W 530 CR. Going to try and raise it in October, but do I have a chance with my current scores.
So far I have taken 5 AP's- AP Psych, AP Government, AP Human Geography, AP Lang, and AP Environmental
Will be taking at least 4 more my senior year- AP Bio, AP Lit, AP Stat, AP World History.</p>

<p>I have also taken two dual enrollment courses at a community college- Sociology and Microeconomics. Will be taking more my senior year.</p>

<p>Some of my extracurricular activities include being a member of Key Club, Teen Republicans, Tri Chi, Spanish Club and Spanish Honor Society, National Honor Society, and VP of a club to help prevent malaria in other countries.</p>

<p>I have volunteered almost 200 hours. Some of my hours have been spent volunteering at a museum. I have spent over 100 hours helping to promote campaigns for local politicians. I helped the mayor of my town get elected as well as several local congressional members. I have been asked to help another person over the summer who is running for the NC Senate. I have also volunteered for Key Club and tutor younger children occasionally.</p>

<p>This year I was also selected to be a Junior Marshal for my school which means I am in the top 10% of my class currently.</p>

<p>Do you think my low SAT score will cause me to get rejected from NC State. I also want to apply to UNC-Chapel Hill. I know UNC is probably a reach for me right now. I do have some other safety choices, but I do not really like them.</p>

<p>Please tell me what you think....
(PS I have already tried the ACT, so do not suggest that)
I would just like your honest opinion if I can get in with my current stats.</p>

<p>Get the SAT up 300+ points and you’ll be on par with UNC. It’s clear that you’re a very smart girl (especially since you’re a teen republican :wink: ) so it should be possible, but I think the ACT would be a better test for you. Good luck! Chance back please?</p>

<p>I think you still have a very good chance at getting into NC State despite your SAT scores. The low end of NC State’s middle 50 is around 1600, so you’re in there. A great essay and recommendations would help though. UNC Chapel Hill is probably a bit of a reach but with your GPA you knows. Chance me if you have the time?<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1680749-unc-ucla-uva.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1680749-unc-ucla-uva.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>NC State will let you in before UNC-CH would. UNC CH makes you think better than NC State. Liberal arts is way better at UNC. Your grades at UNC will be WORSE though… IF you want AWESOME GRADES with less effort go to NC State.</p>
