There are a couple other things I could write about, but the Common App limits me to 10 activities, and these are probably my stronger activities.</p>
<p>My essay will not be the best essay. I'm a fairly good writer, but I'm by no means the best.</p>
<p>Letters of recommendation will speak very highly of me.</p>
<p>You have a strong application and will be as competitive as anybody applying for UNC, but realize it’s very difficult to get into UNC out of state.</p>
<p>Thank you, jibler. I know, it’s very hard to get into UNC out of state. I’m hoping that I will, though. And I’m hoping I’ll at least get into one of my three top schools.</p>
<p>Maybe Vanderbilt is considered a “low reach” but i personally believe you are going to get into all three. Try and work on the essay, don’t settle for a mediocre essay- get help from your english teachers!</p>
<p>“Rank: 2/6” you only have 6 kids in your grad class?
It seems like a match for all although both UVa and UNC are definitely harder for out of state applicants. Work on making your essay and you should have a good chance, just remember a safety.</p>
