<p>I'm seriously freaking out about getting into UNC Chapel Hill. UNC has been my first choice for a really long time and I was hoping that I could get some feedback on whether or not I have a shot at getting in. I know it's EXTREMELY competitive for out of staters, which is why I'm a bit concerned. I'm from Maryland, but have been going to NC since I was born and LOVE it.</p>
