<p>Excellent chances. You look well balanced. Write good essays that are tight and make you stand out....your veteran project is something that should also go on it somewhere, maybe in the extra essay. Good luck! (I wish us parents could pick our future son in laws like this!)</p>

<p>Go with the war stories on your essays... that's the kind of differential they are looking for... I think my D got in bc of teaching literacy to underprivileged kids for three years.
Also your leadership positions...
I can attest to the fact they really do look beyond grades and standardized test scores.
Good luck! You'll LOVE UNC!</p>

<p>... (continuing)... although your grades and test scores are great! :-)</p>

<p>Rather than ask people to assess your chances which is an iffy proposition at best, especially for oos candidates, I would just review the stats of those accepted and declined which I believe can be found in archives. Or pose that question here and examine responses.</p>

<p>(Can you tell? I can't stand these chance threads; either they create unnecessary angst or unrealistic optimism. None of us are admissions officers after all.)</p>
