Chances at UNC for a Californian

[TYADams2211]

<p>Hi, I'm a rising senior and UNC is my top choice as of now.</p>

<p>Profile:
-Hispanic/White Male
-4.45 Weighted GPA
-3.85 UW GPA
-2000(680M, 660CR, 660W) SAT
*Shooting for a 2100+ in October, very confident I can get it, it will have been 8 months in-between SATs by then
-SAT II: Math2 700, US History 630 (ughhhh)
-Mock Trial (1year), CSF (2year), NSHSS (2year), Co-Founder/Secretary of Key Club (1year), Soccer Referee (3 year Job)
-Varsity XCountry (2 years, 1 year captain) and Varsity Track (going on 4 years), Varsity Soccer (1 year) (this entails all of my HS sports experience, I haven't been on any JV teams)
-10 Hours Volunteering at Track Meets
-50+ Hours Volunteering at Police Department (Still Volunteering)
-50+ Hours Volunteering for habitat cleanups, etc.
-Had to quit soccer and XCountry due to diagnosed knee issues</p>

<p>OK this is kinda lame, but I have a theory that being out of state (bad) and being "latino" (good) will sort of cancel out lol. I'd love to go to this school and really hope I can get in.</p>

<p>That’s pretty darn strong… but you are right, it is very difficult to get in from out of state, but the university is certainly trying to attract more hispanic students. If you can get 2100 on the SAT and good letters of recommendation then you have a pretty good shot.</p>
