<p>Hi, I applied to UNC as an Early Notification applicant. I'm from Ohio, and I'm wondering what my admission chances are like. The main difference I see from most of the people on here is that I only took one AP course, but I took 30 semester hours of courses from a respected college nearby. Will UNC consider those college courses as highly as they do for AP courses? Here are my credentials:</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0 uw
Rank: 1 out of 252
ACT: 30
Several EC's including Student Council President (4 Years), National Honors Society (Treasurer), Science Club (Treasurer), and French Club (Vice-President).
Varsity Cross Country and Track (4 Year Letterman) All-County, All-Conference, Regional Qualifier
Several Community Awards and leadership awards.
30 Semester Hours (Almost 1 college year) of completed college credit while maintaining a 4.0.</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting in with these credentials? Does anyone know how UNC looks at these college courses?</p>
<p>What college is it? And what courses did you take?</p>
<p>The college is Walsh University located in North Canton, Ohio. It is locally well respected, but it's most likely not known nationally.</p>
<p>Here are the classes or general descriptions:</p>
<p>English 101
English 102
(General Freshman English Composition Core requirements)
English 240 - Professional Writing
English 200 - Issues of Gender/Race - Literature Class</p>
<p>GFA 105 - American Government
GFA 241 - Urban Politics
GFA 411 - Public Administration
GFA 405 - Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (Typical Constitutional Pre-Law Course)</p>
<p>BUS 125 - Introduction to Business
BUS 106 - Electronic Business Applications</p>
<p>The GFA courses are Government & Foreign Affairs. I am applying as a public policy major so I'm hoping the classes will show them that I tried my hardest to go as far as I can in that area. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Did you take them at the college alongside other college students? That's what I did with several math courses and I would think (hope) that admissions committee hold them in the same regard as AP level (I know that the Math 308- Linear Algebra course I took was 5x harder than Calc BC...)</p>
<p>But I'm applying to Duke so what would I know haha...</p>
<p>Yes I took them alongside students in college. I was never so afraid to go to school than when I went to my first college class my junior year lol. How did you like it? I loved it because the classroom setting was so much different than if you were in a high school class. It was different to be in classes with students who were worried about getting accepted to graduate school and law school while I'm worrying about graduating high school and getting accepted to college. I would hope they them the same as AP or more, but I'm not sure. I applied to Duke as well as some Ivy's and Stanford just to see what would happen. But, I'm really looking at going to UNC or Duke so hopefully one of them accepts me/us. Are you In state or OOS because I'm wondering if North Carolina has the same system where high school students can attend college classes.</p>
<p>I really enjoyed it. Since I took AB/BC Calculus my junior year of high school, the public school district did not have any math courses that I could take, so I enrolled in the local university and am taking chemistry as well as the math courses. I think they would consider them as rigorous as an AP as long as they know that you took it AT the university along with other college students. At my high school, we offer a couple courses (Economics, English 101) that are taught at the high school by high school teachers and with only high school students but are given college credit. Make sure that your application specifies that your courses were taken AT the university and not like what I just mentioned.</p>
