I applied to UNC (which is definitely my reach school) However, after doing some research I have found out that I LOVE Notre Dame. I am considering applying but I don’t wanna waste my time if I have almost no chance of getting in.
Here are my stats:
4.8 GPA
1330 SAT
lots of APs
volunteer at the hospital (150 hours)
Physical Therapy clinic mentorship
dance team captain
lots of extracurriculars and clubs
beta club officer position
NHS, spanish honors society, beta
High School Dance Team
Competitive dance outside of school
numerous awards (regional/state and local)
Do you think I have a better chance of getting into Notre Dame than UNC or even a chance at all?
I don’t chance but I can tell you that your SAT’s are below the 25th percentile for ND which will make it a tough admit for an unhooked applicant. https://admissions.nd.edu/apply/
Your chance of admittance for UNC will be different depending on if you are a resident or non-resident of the state. UNC can only take 18% of its freshman class from out of state. If you google UNC class profile you will get more information.
They’re both reach schools, so there’s a greater probability of getting rejected for both. It’s nothing to stress over. Your acceptance letters will tell you where you go to college. Good luck
I don’t usually do chances either, but…ND is a reach. UNC is a reach if you are an OOS student or if you live in certain areas of NC (although less reachy than OOS). You have a greater chance if you are from one of the underrepresented parts of the state.
