<p>First off, I live in Pender county (look it up) it is prob. the most underprivileged county in all of NC =[ i mean it</p>
<p>Stats:
Rank: 3/200 (roughly 200)
SAT: 1260 (highest in my school)
ECs: President of NHS at my school, captain of varsity soccer team (we were ranked # 7 in state), world poverty awareness projects in Philippines, captain of math team, worked 22 hours a week at Chinese restaurant, 1st Team quiz bowl, like 150-200 hrs of community service, sooo many more</p>
<p>Essays were great, recs were amazing (was called 1 of top 5 students every taught by my 50 year old pre-calculus teacher)</p>
<p>Hook?- because i live in Pender county (even though i'm white) i think am considered an URM b/c i got to participate in all of the minority programs like project uplift and honors day.</p>
<p>Catch- I was deferred for early admissions but I ONLY had a 1650 overall SAT and an 1150 cr/m (a girl got in with that same score from my school last year). I eventually took SAT twice more and raised it to an 1850 overall and 1260 cr/m (highest for anyone accepted into UNC in its 5 year existence)</p>
<p>I'm taking all the APs (4)/ Honors (all the rest) avalible at my school</p>
<p>Midyear grades:</p>
<p>AP Lit and Comp- B (nobody got an A)
AP Calc AB- A (only A)
Spanish II- A
Digital Communications- A</p>
<p>Will a SAT increase of 200 points really increase my chances + my great midyear grades??? I mean i was deferred with 1150 cr/m so my new 1260 is actually average for UNC. The highest of anyone accepted from my school into UNC was 1240 and he was ranked #3 out of like 100 - he's doing great at UNC.</p>
<p>Do I have a chance? I actually am feeling a lot MORE confident with new SAT scores... Please reply to this =] btw everyone else in the top 10 of my class has less than 1200 SAT except for 1 person (#1 has like 1050, #2 has like 1100 & they are both applying to UNC and have like NO ECs)</p>
<p>I don't normally comment on chance threads, but I think I've played your team in quiz bowl before. I think you have a chance, and, yes, being from pender county and your new SAT score will help.</p>

<p>Yeah, so my reading abilities are apparently non-existent when I'm tired. I read Minnesota and assumed OOS. It is kind of odd he got deferred IS then though I'd have to agree, it may be the SAT.</p>
<p>thats the thing i'm white... but b/c i live in a strictly rural and poor area they consider me a minority for all of their programs... but i just don't know if they do for admissions purposes... i'd say that location does play a lot into decision since everyone accepted from my school in its 5 year existence has had a SAT score below UNC average...</p>
<p>highest for anyone accepted to UNC was a 1240 from my school.</p>

<p>I am Asian, and so I hope that it increases my chances of getting in after I was deferred.</p>
<p>fobby1818, is there something you're not telling us? Stats like that normally wouldn't get you deferred in-state. They're crazy-good! A lot of people from my school got in with way lower stats. How were your recs and essays? On the plus side, I'd say you're pretty much a shoo-in now: )</p>
<p>well I was told that they deferred me because I got three c's last year, but they were all in AP classes. I had straight A's through sophmore year, and I was told that UNC wanted to make sure that the C's did not continue, and I didn't have any c's as midyear grades, and so I hope that my midyear grades will get me through. cat119, did you already get in? I feel like I am in, but I do not want to be overconfident and then end up being disappointed.</p>
