<p>Hey guys!
Looking at all of the threads here on CC, I am beginning to majorly doubt myself. Everyone here seems so qualified and I'm feeling pretty insecure about my chances at getting into UNC. Any advice/criticism is welcome, I need all of the help that I can get.</p>

<p>Gender:Female
Race: African-American
School Type: College prep, highly competitive, top public school in the state of Ohio, 90 in the nation
GPA: 3.6 (UW), 4.3 (W)
Rank: 70/372
ACT: 31
Member of the National Society of High School Scholars, AP scholar, National Merit Commended Scholar
ECs: 4 year member of my school's competitive marching band (earned our tenth straight superior rating at the Ohio Music Education Association State Marching Band Competition), 2 years softball (one varsity, one JV), two years varsity lacrosse, member of the Community Action Team, I am a church tutor, played summer softball for two summers, worked on a berry farm (paid), marched in the New Years Day Parade 2009 in London, member of the symphonic band (we played festival disney last year)
Leadership: Held section leader position in my band for two years</p>

<p>Thanks for taking the time to read this! My main concerns are my rank, GPA and ACT. Also, my volunteer hours are way low but there wasn't much time for them. My out of state status is also a huge factor and I feel as if I don't stack up. I interviewed with Yale recently but that still doesn't make me feel any better about my situation. Any advice? I also applied RD.</p>

<p>The admissions committee will definitely LOVE the devotion to your school’s marching band. I wouldn’t fret about the ACT score, since they typically review the applications holistically. They have rejected applicants with a perfect 2400 in the past, so it’s not that big of a deal. They focus on EC and essays, so as long as your essays were good you should be fine. Your test scores and ECs actually make me a little nervous about my own application (I applied Early Action). However, my Physics teacher is a Carolina graduate and knows the Dean of Admissions, so I kinda have an unfair advantage. Hehe, but hey! I gotta compensate for something.</p>
