<p>I'll agree. You have pretty good test scores, and if you can pull that SAT math a little higher, it'd be even better. But overall, with your test scores and ECs I think you'll almost definitely get in.</p>
<p>Since you're instate, I'd give you about a 90-95% chance of admission. However, every year there are kids with great class ranks, gpa's, SAT scores etc. that don't get in. I know a kid who was 5th in his class out of about 400 and had a 1440 SAT (on the old scale) who didn't get in from instate.</p>
<p>the instate kids who have the 1450s on SATs who DON'T get in are usually from a really competitive school (like in Charlotte) where everyone applies to UNC and thus, many of the top kids don't get in. They diversify geographically. Where is the location of the parent who lives there? If you don't live with that parent, I am not sure if the instate applies........better check that one out.</p>
<p>Where you're from wouldn't get you declined.. more good students applying would mean more getting in. If you have a 1450 it's probably the essays or something else (glaring) that gets you rejected.</p>
<p>Ok, I'm confident I can REALLY pull up my SAT (I do quite well when I apply myself to something) between now and October. If I got a score around 2340, which I think is plausible, would my chances skyrocket?</p>
<p>Your chances are already so good they can't really skyrocket, don't sweat it.</p>
<p>practice writing essays.
This is quite imperative in the decision process for your admission to UNC.</p>
<p>^Thanks for the advice! Fortunately, I think the essay can only help me in this process. I'm quite pleased about these comments, and, hopefully, if I pull my SAT up, I'll be competitive for Dartmouth, my top choice in the US.</p>
<p>Mr. Robert Gates, with your afflatus you will do just fine wherever you may attend.(preferably UNC, of course ;)</p>
