<p>I'm currently a junior at Raleigh Charter, which is ranked 24th in the nation, so that's probably the reason why my gpa is so low just a forewarning. So my unweighted gpa is 3.3, weighted is 4.1. The last time I took the SAT i got a 2100, but I plan on retaking it again so hopefully it will raise. Also, my ACT was a 31.
I have done this Volunteer program at Rex hospital, which is part of UNC health care, for all of junior year so far and I plan on continuing it during the summer and senior year. I am also planning on doing this other UNC volunteer program where I actually volunteer at the UNC campus during the summer. I have had a job since the end of sophomore year and work all summer and about 10hours a week during the school year. I also volunteer at the animal shelter occasionally whenever I have free time.
I was in Tri-M Music honor society freshman till present, key club & german club since sophomore year, joined environmental club, and student legislative assembly just this year, and started the Harry Potter club this year just for fun. I don't have any leadership positions yet, but I plan on running for senior rep in SGA, a position in german, key club, and hope to be either band president or vp senior year.
My AP classes so far have been APUSH and APES, but senior year I plan on taking 4 AP's. All my classes have been honors so far except for band for freshman and sophomore year and german from freshman year till this year.
As far as sports go I have been on the soccer team since sophomore year, I would have been on the tennis team as well but I play competitive soccer on a club team year round so I have no time.
And my older brother is in his freshman year at UNC right now if that helps.
So do you guys think I have a good chance at UNC?? I really hope so it is basically the only school I want to go to. </p>

<p>I would say you have a good chance! I got into Chapel Hill in-state this year, and my GPA and SAT were a bit higher but my ECs/leadership things were more school-related (I attend kind of a life-consuming private school agh), not as legit as yours. Plus I’m not a legacy or anything special…
Not to compare or anything, it’s so subjective etc., but yeah I personally think you have a really good chance : ) (not sure why you want to stay in-state hahaha, but good luck with UNC!)</p>

<p>Your guidance counselor will be best equipped to answer this question.</p>

<p>I would think you should have a great chance!!</p>

<p>Your GPA is low but your class rank should make up for it if you go to a tough school. Your SAT score is very, very good, and a 31 on the ACT is also great. Sounds like your extra-curriculars are solid too.</p>

<p>I actually lived in Raleigh for a little while, and keep in mind UNC reserves 82% of their spots (for the Chapel Hill campus, at least) for in-state students, so that will definitely give you the leg up. </p>

<p>I’d say that with those test scores you’re set.</p>

<p>I am a white male in NC with around the same stats as you, except I have a 3.8 unweighted and 3 APs so far. I hope you get in, so I can get in!</p>
