<p>i’d say u’ve got a pretty good chance if you bring your SAT up…try to take AP psych through ncvps or another online site if u can…</p>

3

<p>thanks JG! why do you think I should take ap psych though ncvps instead of self-studying it? Oops, and I spelled comparative wrong in my post!</p>

<p>Any other thoughts?</p>

4

<p>well, just the fact that unc can see that ur actually taking the class would help… also, i’m taking it online now, and it’s an easy A as long as u do ur work :D…</p>

5

<p>I mean, I’ve already been self-studying it for awhile now, and I can’t just start taking it online this time of year. Next year I know I will not have time to take it online, and I thought it would look good that I took the initiative to self-study an AP that wasn’t offered at my school…</p>

6

<p>are u taking the ap exam this year or next?</p>

7

<p>I’m taking the AP Psych exam this year</p>

8

<p>Everything looks great to me…your SAT score could actually get you in as is, but I would retake it to be sure. My friend (white female from NC) got in with a 1780, but if you raise it, you could be a scholarship candidate. :)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>thanks so much blairb91!</p>

<p>any other thoughts?</p>

<p>bump 10 char</p>

12

<p>I would say that you have a good chance, since you are an instate applicant. As long as you raise your SAT to like 1900ish… then you will be golden.</p>

<p>PS: LOVE LADY GAGA =)</p>

<p>thanks mcvcm92! I’m definitely going to try to raise my SAT and in addition, I’m taking two SAT Subject Tests.</p>

<p>I went to a competitive high school probably very similar to yours (except my class had around 525 students). I know that at my school, basically the top 10% of our class was accepted to Carolina every year, plus a few others with a lower rank but other strong application elements. Since you’re barely in the top 20%, you should definitely try to either improve your class rank so that you fall in that top 10% or improve your SAT score significantly.</p>

<p>leah377: i’m trying to get my class rank up, but i’m afraid i will not be able to get it up to the top 10% :(. and yes, without a doubt i’m trying to raise my SAT score higher!</p>
