<p>Have you thought about retaking the SAT? Your GPA and extracurricular activities look good, and Eagle Scout never hurts, but UNC is getting more and more competitive by the year.</p>

<p>You definitely have a shot at UNC-W, though, and I have a friend who had somewhere between a 1400 - 1500 out of 2400 get into the honors program at UNC-G, and she loves it there, so don't lose hope when it comes to a school in the system.</p>

<p>if you posted this a month ago, i would have said go take the dec. ACT , have you tried the ACT , this test saved me i almost have the exact scores on the SAT i took it 2 times and then i turned to ACT and my scores are 29 on avg this is a 400 point increase or more. sometimes the wording of the test makes the difference.</p>

<p>You don’t have nearly enough AP’s, and you only have two years of a language. Don’t write it off of your list, but nothing is for sure.</p>
