<p>I’m a resident of FL (so, OOS) and in my third year as a boarding student at a college-prep boarding/day school in Sewanee, TN.
I am a Chapel Hill legacy by my mother, my grandfather, two aunts on either side of the family, and my aunt and uncle currently work there in the fin. aid and admissions departments.
Also, my advisor, who has written some amazing recommendations for me in the past, was an English professor at Chapel Hill for a time, and I think she could put in a good word.</p>
<p>As of now, I’ve got about a 3.7 unweighted GPA, and I just took the SAT for the first time…I’m confident the scores can go up (composite 1200, total 1860, math 560, verb 640, writing 660)</p>
<p>I’ve taken these courses so far, and my school does not offer AP. However, we are able to go over to the University of the South (one of the top liberal arts schools in the country) and take actual university courses. I plan to take World Politics over there next year as well as another course, and I will take English 12, Religion (required), and Statistics next year.</p>
<p>So far, I’ve taken these courses:
World History I
World History II
US History
English 9
English 10
English 11
Algebra I
Algebra II Advanced
Geometry
Conceptual Physics
Biology
Geology/Environmental Studies
Chemistry
Spanish II
Spanish III
Spanish IV-V
Life Issues
Special Fitness
Orchestra</p>

<p>I'd appreciate anyone's input! Thanks!</p>
<p>the SAT is a bit low. unc usually admits OOS people who score 1350+ or 1400+, but your ECs look pretty good. i dont know if the alumni affiliation will help you all that much since ive heard that unc doesnt put a lot of emphasis on it (like some private schools do).</p>
<p>wow, you were at interlochen? that's such a cool program!</p>
<p>also, did you take any APs?
I'm an OOS legacy from FL, too. ah, the similarties :)</p>
<p>"wow, you were at interlochen? that's such a cool program!"</p>
<p>Heck yes it is. That was one of the best experiences of my life -- it's an incredible place.</p>
<p>"also, did you take any APs? "</p>
<p>Actually, my school doesn't offer APs...we have some "advanced courses" (im in Alg2 Advanced, and then they have adv. chem, bio, etc, and then some people take the tests) BUT the advantage is I can go over to Sewanee and take some actual, really good college courses...which in my opinion is a bit more impressive, so hopefully I'll make it over there next year for a few of those.</p>
<p>"I'm an OOS legacy from FL, too. ah, the similarties "
What did you have to do to get in?</p>
<p><em>bump</em> I'd really appreciate some more input --- thanks!!</p>
