Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey guys,
I'm currently a junior in High School in South Carolina and kind of stressing over getting into my dream school, North Carolina.</p>

<p>Possible major: Physics, maybe?</p>

<p>White Male</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.6~7
W GPA: 4.2~3</p>

<p>I haven't taken SAT yet but I've scored pretty well on PSAT and expect to make around 2200 SAT, if not better.</p>

<p>Son of UNC alum</p>

<p>Essays shouldn't be a problem, I've been told I'm a very good writer.</p>

<p>I'm between top 5 and 10% of my decent public HS class of 450-500. </p>

<p>Taking IB English and History of Americas, Honors classes in all else. Taken spanish through year 4.</p>

<p>EC's: (I need to work on this, I think)
Job during school year from 10th grade on,
Golf Team 9th and 10th grade
NHS
Model UN
Co-founder and vice president of school video gaming club.</p>

<p>Also, I'd be applying with Early Action.</p>

<p>So what are my chances? If my chances aren't looking great for UNC, what about Emory, Georgia Tech, UVA, or University of Richmond?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You're borderline with your current stats, although with a 2200 SAT, you should have no problem at all.</p>

<p>Personally, I think you will get in with a SAT overall of 2000 or higher. Below that, you might be questionable, although the legacy helps.</p>

<p>And, yes, the fairly limited ECs are the weakest part of your application currently.</p>

<p>Ok, sounds good to me. I'm reassured a little, at least. Thanks calcruzer.</p>
