Looks solid for an in-state applicant. You are approximately in the 50th percentile of admitted student for SAT scores and probably the same for ACT. You might consider re-taking to beef up the scores a bit. Unweighted GPA looks a little low but obviously you have taken many advanced level courses to bring your weighted average up significantly. Extracurricular activities are quite strong and top 5% of class is good. Hopefully your achool has a good track record for sending quality students.
The key will be for you to write great essays since everything else looks strong. Letting the school know what you have to offer appears to be a critical component in UNC’s approval process.Best of luck to you…
