Chances at NC schools

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>What are my chances are these NC Schools?
UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State, and Duke University</p>

<p>I'm thinking I am a match at UNC, and if I do get in, I would absolutely love it there. I think NC State is a good safety and Duke is probably a very high reach for me since I have no special ECs and below average SAT scores for Duke applicants. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>Bump, anyone got anything?</p>

3

<p>this will be the last bump i do, i promise!</p>

4

<p>In at NC State. You need to get your SAT up for UNC-CH and Duke. Probably ~2150 or better.</p>

5

<p>Dude, you're fine at UNC since you're instate.</p>

6

<p>your in without a doubt at unc. You have to get your sats at least 2100 for a shot at duke, but your class rank is excellent, and that should help with duke. NC state and unc are no brainers, though.</p>

7

<p>Yeah, I'll take the SATs again in October, hopefully I can get my math up in the 700s. I need the SAT II's for Duke right? I guess I can take those in November. Any other opinions?</p>

8

<p>REJECT at Duke.</p>

<p>In at the other two.</p>

<p>Your grades and test scores aren't that great and you're an ORM.
As you said so yourself, your ECs "are [not] anything special".</p>
