Definitely needs some work but you’re not too far behind. Your GPA is lacking for UNC-CH and a little bit for NCState. Your ECs are pretty good but they look like you just joined some clubs and didn’t put too many hours in to them. Also, being overrepresented as a Asian-indian won’t help. Great stats tho, that’s just what I’d recommend you work on.

Overall, NCState seems like a match and UNC-CH isn’t far out of reach.

Good luck!

@reddr0p‌ Thanks for the advice! The GPA I put on this post was actually only my sophomore and freshman years’ cumulative GPA. I am pretty positive that it will go up with the 5 AP classes I am taking this year (and the grades I have for them) along with the 10 point grading scale being introduced this fall.
