<p>Hi yos</p>

<p>My 2 cents! - if GPA 3.75 out 4.00, good. Good AP scores and #'s. What about class rank?
Also, at our high school in the recent past- the SAT CR/MA of 1300 seems to be a threshold for acceptance to UNC-CH. </p>

<p>I don’t think Chapel Hill is “officially” using the writing score for admission, but the AO says they look @ “all” info!</p>

<p>I think re-taking the SAT/ACT in Oct - senior year is a great idea. Most colleges want to see a senior year standardized test score.</p>

<p>That is my unweighted GPA.
I’m 34/429 (so top 10%)
I’m pretty sure 1300 is the midrange scores…and I’ve been studying during the summer, so I think I’m good there.
Thanks!</p>

<p>Hi yos</p>

<p>If I was an AO I’d say yes!</p>

<p>By the way - Chapel Admissions office did confirm they ARE using the writing score of the SAT for admission in addition to the CR/MA scores.</p>

<p>I went to an UNC admissions info meeting at my high school last night. The admin rep said they ARE NOT using the writing score. Confusing.</p>
