<p>Since you are out of state your R 620 combined with ACT of 32 might hurt your chances. It is very difficult to get into UNC if you are out of state</p>
<p>@bigbooklover im applying for science, my science areas are all strong so i really don’t think my reading score will hurt after taking 2 english aps, a rec from an english teacher who is in love with me and has published multiple of my poems, and very well written essays. sorry but that is my opinion</p>
<p>I hope you are right…the criteria for OOS is very high. I am in the same boat as you…I just hope I make the first cut and they look at my essays and letters of rec</p>
