<p>You have good grades/test scores. Really your only weakness are your EC’s. They seem rather contrived.</p>
<p>If you have good essays you should be fine.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what you mean by contrived…
because everything I have done up to now I’ve done because I want to do it.
My volunteering at the community clinic…because I wanted to try to get into the medical field to see if I liked it.
My volunteering as a viola mentor…because I was asked to and because I now really love it.</p>
<p>Thank you for your other comments though.</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance. Out of state is competitive, as everyone knows, but I think your application has the potential to be appealing enough to them. UNC really likes athletes for some reason, but I think you have enough to make up for that. Write some good essays and I think you’ll be okay!</p>
<p>They look artificial, run of the mill basically. It doesn’t really looked like you developed a passion in one specific area.</p>
<p>Rather it looks like you did the clubs to put it on your college resume rather than to enjoy them.</p>
<p>I would embellish particular clubs, such as orchestra, to show that you demonstrate interest in the activity, not the spot on the resume.</p>
<p>Then you think it would be better to not mention SGA and International Club since I’m not doing those next year?</p>
<p>I think it’s kind of hard to embellish on orchestra besides doing Solo and Ensemble…which I do every year and attempting to make it into All-County…where my chances aren’t that great. I’ve been doing orchestra since 5th grade, so I obviously have to enjoy it to be in in that long.</p>
<p>heyitslauriebeth - thank you for your comments. I’m going to try super hard on those essays then :)</p>
<p>The essays are important…I already started writing my essays for Carolina! haha.</p>
<p>so AP score update, I got a 4 in APUSH, and 5’s in AP Govt and AP Calc AB</p>
<p>The AP scores are kinda irrelevant for the application process. Someone at Carolina said that it doesn’t really matter what you got on the AP exam until you’re accepted and getting credit for it. I think they’re just looking that you took the class itself & challenged yourself in some way.</p>
<p>I believe you have a really good shot, but as others have mentioned, UNC is not impossible, but near impossible for out of state students due to the low percentage oos v high percentage in state ratio for freshmen admissions. </p>
<p>I hope you’re applying to UF, because they have a really good Pharmacy program too. </p>
<p>Best of luck! I’ll be rooting for you</p>
