Chance me? UNC Transfer

Hello all! I am really wanting to transfer to UNC. It’s been the place that I have wanted to attend since freshmen year of High School. Sadly, my effort in High School was minimal. In college i’m turning it around, but I want to have some hope that I can attend UNC sophomore year. It’s getting to the point that i’m just frustrated with my prior self of not putting in any effort. I’m much smarter then my stats below. It’s just a shame that I didn’t try hard enough, now to face the consequences. Stats below

HS GPA:
3.0 UW
3.63 W
ACT: 24
SAT: 1550
ECs: Many leadership positions in High school, part of many clubs in college as well.

If I get a 4.0 GPA in college with a killer essay will I have a chance? I need to know if this is a dream or if a possibility?

Please be honest.

Thank you!

old post lol… but dude we got like the exact same stats. I retook the SAT a month ago, got lucky and killed the math and reading sections.

3.0 UW HS GPA
3.7 W
24 ACT
1960 SAT
5/5/5/3/3 AP scores
4.0 1st semester CGPA

Assuming you got that 4.0 I’d say you got a shot. Our high school grades definitely count, so I’m confident I’ll get a waitlist. I’ve peeped some other threads and looks like most of the sophomore applicants that get waitlisted are the ones with HS gpas under 3.5. It’s all just a numbers game

Good luck!
