<p>D is also in state, and hoping to go to UNC too. Her stats are not as high as yours. She has AP Lit, AP Lang, AP Enviro, AP Calculus, and a 3.77 GPA (out of 4.0), lots of EC but not as impressive as yours, and a 27 on the ACT (just took) and will take again. Taking SAT in June. Wonder what the IN STATE stats are for 25th-75th on ACT and SAT. They don't show that anywhere.</p>

<p>wow I remember doing this haha seems so long ago.</p>

<p>but in my opinion, you have a wonderful chance of getting in no sweat.</p>

<p>Good chances of getting in, but not great. Bring up the test scores and class rank just a smidge and you'll have a solid shot.</p>

<p>its a crap shoot. I'm instate and got waitlisted with a 1300 3.6-3.7 in a tough private school with plenty of AP's. I don't understand how they determine this b/s, 2 me I feel like Ive been screwed, and/or they don't read essays</p>

<p>Raceme, I also think you have a good chance. Your ECs are strong. A friend of son's was accepted back in 05 whose test scores and rank weren't great---but she had varsity sports, student government and a couple other ECs. I may be totally off base, but just looking at acceptances (and Moreheads) from our local schools--it seems that the "well-roundedness" is a big plus.</p>
