<p>I already got in UMD Honors College and into UNC so what do you think?</p>

2

<p>bump. Also got into Carnegie Mellon (recruited athlete though), but it shows that I am committed to athletics and have leadership on my club teams</p>

3

<p>276 views and no opinions?</p>

4

<p>To the OP, just curious, what do you personally think your chances are?</p>

5

<p>After getting into UNC I thought I had a really great chance. However I thought my SAT Lit score would hurt and my semi-ok essay would hurt. So I don’t think I’ll get in, but I also just say that to myself and anyone who asks so that I’m not set up for disappointment</p>

6

<p>haha ok I give up, guess I’ll know for sure in less than a month. Good luck everyone</p>

7

<p>i rather be a tarheel! but if you got into UNC im sure you could get into UVA.</p>

8

<p>You’d rather go to UVA than Carnegie Mellon for Engineering, even though CM recruited you as an athlete?-which means you are likely to recieve $$ from CM. Curious, why the interest in UVA? UM Honors and UNC are great schools as well. UVA may accept you as your academics seem on par with other admitted students, but as you are OOS so it may hinge on their need/desire to recruit more athletes with your skills.</p>

9

<p>Can’t get money from CMU cuz its D3, which honestly is like the level of club soccer at UNC or UVA. But really my only problem with CMU is fit</p>

10

<p>Just curious - what do you plan to major in should you attend UNC?</p>

11

<p>Computer Science</p>

12

<p>I’d say you definitely have a good chance! But Maryland is probably where a lot of the out of staters come from, so competition there is probably higher there than anywhere else.</p>
