<p>about 15 extracurricular clubs and stuff (dont feel like listing them all) including 4 years of football</p>
<p>what are my chances</p>
<p>The fact that you are a guy will help you since UNC is 60/40 female/male.</p>

<p>The out-of-state pool for UNC-CH is veryyy competitive, so you'll definitely need to keep that in mind. There are stories of kids who get into Cornell and UPenn but not Carolina OOS.</p>
<p>Your GPA will definitely hurt you a little, but your SAT scores are solid and if your ECs are good enough (it's nice that you're an athlete), you have a good chance.</p>
<p>If you didn't know already, UNC-CH has posted the essay questions for next Fall's applications--<a href="http://www.admissions.unc.edu/applying/essays.html">http://www.admissions.unc.edu/applying/essays.html</a></p>
<p>I wish we had that selection on last year's ! lol</p>
<p>LOL! UNC Chapel Hill requires students to write some of the most creative essays, which they can definitely use to tilt the dial in their favor...</p>
<p>jerseypete, my suggestion would be to really really really work on the essays more than anything else. I know a few good kids who were instate, that got rejected because of average/not so good essays.</p>
<p>Also, even if you are OOS, BE SURE to emphasize your interest in coming to UNC by either/and visiting (while making sure they KNOW you were here), or/and by writing to someone on the Adcom (ask ques. etc.). I will tell you, making these connections WILL help you make that last stretch, and WILL get you in OOS. Good Luck!</p>
