My dream school is UNC Chapel Hill, and luckily, I’m in-state. I can find NO info on GPA for UNC, except that it states that their average GPA is a 4.59 or something like that. It’s kinda hard to interpret this since schools weight GPA’s differently. I have a 3.67 unweighted and a 4.50 weighted GPA at my high school, which is well known throughout the state for being notoriously hard and also being ranked #1 in NC on USNWR. I’m around the top 15-20% of my class.
I have a 32 ACT score, which I am retaking in order to get a 34 or higher (studying my tail off)
my EC’s are: captain of two time state championship winning swim/dive team, started charity at school that works with/raises money for UNC hospitals and St. Jude hospital, NHS, cross country (likely captain next season), ambassador for my high school, BETA club, head dive coach at local pool where I have to work with a lot of small children and teach them to dive, and will be working as a lifeguard this summer along with the coaching job.
I’m also spending a lot of time crafting my essays over the summer and my teacher rec’s should be good.
I’m sorry I ask about my GPA a lot on here and probably sound like a broken record, but I’m very anxious about getting into Chapel Hill and want to get some outside input about this school specifically. My school does not use Naviance so I don’t know what GPA other kids had who got in. Please help me out, thanks! I can chance you back if you want.
