<p>why rejected at UNC?</p>

6

<p>would it be accepted if i get SAT to 1400sh??
and i also took several class at college.. (Level 3s) and got As in them</p>

<p>is there any other school nearby that i have a chance at??</p>

<p>and do i have a chance at deferral at UNC??</p>

7

<p>What happened the first semester of sophomore year? Can you address it in your application or have your GC do so?</p>

8

<ol>
<li>its a harsh transition from school classes to APs.. went bad on me.. but i made up for them by getting good grades second semester, on SAT IIs, and on AP exam</li>
<li>i began having ADD.. but was later treated for it.</li>
<li>english is my second language.. and i had to do extra prep to catch up</li>
<li>had extremely hard physics teacher.. though tons more than AP material.. got 5 on AP Exam.. 780 on SAT II</li>
</ol>

<p>do u think my skills in math would help me here if im applying to UNC with preference to math major??</p>

<p>do u now think my chances are high??</p>

<p>also:</p>

<p>i took Online Courses at Univ. of Illinois:</p>

<p>Linear Algebra - A
MV calculus - A
Diff Equations - A</p>

<p>would they see the first semester of sophomore yr as some mistakes bad at beginning of school, which i then made up and never did again??</p>

<p>will my senior schedule also help??</p>

<p>AP Biology
Biology Lab
AP Art History

10

<p>alebed shoot for higher schools man. </p>

<p>tufts, carnegie mellon, wusl, uva, unc-chapel hill, emory, johns hopkins, vanderbilt, NYU, UPENN, Northwestern.</p>

<p>You'll get into one of these at least, and end up with the same amoutn of loan if any if you went to those others schools. </p>

<p>some of you guys need to step up the quality and number of high quality schools you apply to</p>

11

<p>MMood87, i want to go to unc-chapel hill
its close to my house (roughly 1 hour away) and i dont feel like living on campus..</p>

<p>then i was noted here that my 1st semester grades might hinder the admissions staff no matter how much i made them up</p>

<p>i can always transfer.. but UNC-chapel hill has a really good math program which i want to attend...</p>

<p>so wat do u think?? can i make it despite my screw-up early on?</p>

12

<p>i think u should aim even higher. aim at HYPSMC, brown, columbia, penn, cornell, dartmouth, duke, etc. u will probably get accepted in at least one of these great schools...</p>

13

<p>im aiming for public universities in NC except for:</p>

<p>Elon (heard is a good school.. small classes.. good teachers)
Duke (dad works there..)</p>

14

<p>these are the only private schools im considering...</p>

<p>maybe guilford college.. but ill have to think about that..</p>

15

<p>Just one thing, you should live on campus if you can afford it, you wouldn't wanna miss out on the college experience, or so I hear. But yea, you look pretty good for the schools you listed, apply to a few more reaches... cornell, brown, columbia, vanderbuilt, UPENN, man you have a shot.</p>

16

<p>college experience can occur w/o leaving on dorm room..
can still come there any time.. go to parties.. meet up with friends... have study groups..
i can always spend the night at friends dorm there...</p>

<p>if u live an hour away, u dont really miss out..</p>

<p>have u heard about any other schools in my area that are good??</p>

<p>can u tell me wat u heard good/bad about my schools??</p>

<p>-Duke
-Elon
-UNC
-UNCG
-Guilford College
-NC State</p>

17

<p>why though? </p>

<p>you get a debt of like 10-12k.</p>

<p>College is the best time of your life. After that its practically over. Make the best of it. Don't bring drunk girls to your parents home. Never again will you be 18,19,20,21. And after that you'll be in grad school or have a job and have kids, and then stay at home 4ever. Sheesh.</p>

<p>"Where do ya think you're goin'?"
"Well, I finished mah work. Where we goin'?!"
"Go home, William."
"But I want tah goooooooo!"
"No! Go home, boy! Or you'll feel the back of me hand!"</p>

18

<p>lol.. good one.. all the drunk girls can go to my friends' dorms..
but for now, tell me what are the chances that i'll get into UNC with all the chicks..</p>

<p>lol</p>
