<p>i kno i probably have almost no shot EA but...</p>

<p>Hi. Im currently a male senior from CT (fairly competitive public high school in one of the rich counties) Im curious as to what you think my chances are.</p>

<p>GPA- UW – 3.4 W – 3.7 (low, I kno, but GC wrote about how junior year I missed almost a month of school whilst in 4 ap and 3 honors classes with shingles+surgery which is y my gpa isn’t as high as it could be)</p>

<p>School doesn’t rank...</p>

<p>Frosh and soph years u can only take 2 honors classes, which I did and from there on I have one of the most demanding courseloads</p>

<p>Im Asian… Thai Laotian Chinese Indian</p>

<p>SAT - 1390/2070
Math - 730
Writing - 680
CR – 660</p>

<p>SAT 2
MATH1-720
MATH2-680
USHIST-660</p>

<p>Teacher recs - i read one of them who said i was one of the best she had had in 17 years of teaching and that while i was a junior in a class meant for seniors i emerged the leader and made evereyone else around me perform better... the second one that i sent i didn’t read becuase the teacher doesnt allow it but i asked my GC if i had to send one which would i send and he said it was a tossup... so it must’ve been very good</p>

<p>i got a
5 on the AP English Lang
4 on AP US Hist
4 on AP Psych (self study)
3 on AP Govt (self study)</p>

<p>Hmmm. I don't know about ur chances as an OOS'er but if you do want to apply I would reccomend EA/ED so Chapel Hill has a chance to give scholarship $</p>

<p>I would say your chances are low. For out of state, I wouldn't bank on getting in. But stranger things have happened.</p>

<p>That having been said, apply early action, and see what happens. There's nothing wrong with applying and seeing what the outcome is. No reason to worry about it until you get the letter. If you don't get in, move on or try and transfer. No reason to get all upset about it before you even get the decision back.</p>
