Fingers Crosses for UNC

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>out-of-state, which puts me at an extreme disadvantage.</p>

<p>You have very good chances I would say. Your GPA is strong and that ACT score is amazing. 70% chance (which is good for UNC OOS).</p>

<p>I applied EA and I had a 2140 SAT and a 3.7 GPA (I was OOS) but I was rejected. I think your great SATIIs and solid GPA will really help though!! Good luck :-D</p>

3

<p>Make that 100%. I got a letter in the mail today that said that the "admissions committee [is] very impressed with [my] achievements."
Woo.</p>

<p>HOO!</p>

4

<p>Possible scholarships then?</p>

5

<p>congratulations!</p>

6

<p>I got deferred with a 2110 SAT, 3.3 UW GPA w/ 10 AP's</p>

7

<p>CCRunner123, are you out of state?</p>

<p>I'm starting to feel really bummed, because I wasn't even deferred EA. I will have 7 APs (pretty much maximum), and all possible gifted/honors courses possible. My SAT score was good, my GPA solid (3.7UW), my essay (I thought was good), lots of ECs (w/ leadership), and good recs. What did I do wrong? UNC was my #1 choice, along with NYU (which I can't afford). </p>

<p>But congrats to bleumoose, good luck for a scholarship!!! My best friend got the same letter (who I talked into applying to UNC because I thought she might like...and who doesn't even want to go)</p>

<p>Yes, I am OOS, but of course numbers aren't everything. I worked very hard on the UNC application and I thought my essays were excellent.</p>

<p>Of course #'s aren't everything...maybe I should have spent more time on the app; I spent literally WEEKS on it though. But it was the first college app I'd done, and now that I look at it, I would have done some things differently. But oh well.</p>
