My daughter is a junior currently on college tours…
Wondering about her chances to get into UNC Chapel Hill next fall. Girl, white, middle class, in the WSFCS school district of N.C. so would be applying as an instate student. Wants to major in biology and go to graduate school to become a Pediatric dentist.
Right now her GPA is a 4.6, her ACT composite was a 31, however she has only taken it once and is planning to retake in July. By the end of high school she will have completed 10 AP classes (Sophomore- APES, human geo, Junior- APUSH, Bio, Psych, Lang, Senior- Calc AB, Chem, Government & Politics, and Lit) and is currently ranked 4/433 in her class.
She is a 3-year Varsity volleyball player, junior rep on student council, will be Vice President on student council next year, Vice President of French club, will be President next year in French club as well as French NHS, member or NHS and Math NHS, leader of her schools STAND club (they help refugees, take up a lot of donations, etc.), editor for schools newspaper, member of the schools Girls Service Club, Crosby Scholars, also served as an ambassador (so she gave school tours to prospective students and their families as well as participated in a forum series where they spoke to parents of the school about class registration, extracurriculars, etc), and will be a junior Marshall this year. Don’t know if this would be beneficial to her application as she is not going to be recruited for volleyball, but she has played on a national level club volleyball team for 6 years now…
I think her chances are excellent. Well within the top 10% combined with a solid ACT score and good ECs = admission. Focus on making her essays stand out and she is a shoe in.
She sounds solid. What county is WSFCS?
