Chance Me / Match Me!

I’m a Junior from Michigan, UNC is my dream school. Out of state is extremely competitive and I don’t know if i have what it takes. Please be honest.

ACT Composite: 31
Best Scores: Math:34 Reading:33 Science:32 English: 27 Writing: 23
*I’m getting an english tutor so hopefully I can raise those scores for the June ACT

GPA: 3.96 (unweighted)

Course load: Pretty hard. Honors advanced math. Honors Pre-calc this year, BC Calc next year
Heavy science course load; AP Chem, AP bio, Anatomy, physics, vertebrates. AP Government and AP micro Econ. 3 years of German. The rest are pretty standard stuff. (These classes include my senior year classes too)

I haven’t taken any AP tests yet but expect to do well

Extra curriculars:
Sports: Co-captain of JV lacrosse, summer lacrosse
Jobs: Various summer jobs every summer
National Chemistry olympiad
NHS
Volunteer weekly at a hospital (I had a very selective program)
Shadow surgeries and medical procedures
National suicide prevention volunteering

Teacher and councilor reps will be very good. I’ve talked to my councilor many times about UNC and she’s contacted UNC admissions directors

My essays will be pretty good, my brother committed suicide while I was in high school and it’s changed my view a lot on how I live and how I experience emotions.

I’m white male, I’m out of state. No real disabilities or anything like that. Thanks for reading!

I’ve also visited UNC and contacted the admissions department through email a few times. I plan on going there in the summer for a formal tour. I don’t know if it affects anything but it can’t hurt.

@UNC115 Being able to say you toured the campus is great for displaying interest, they will love to see that in your application.

@UNC115 All you have left to work on is your ACT, maintain your grades and you should be competitive.

It is hard to predict what it takes. OOS has an 18-19% acceptance rate including recruited athletes. Get your test score up and try and keep a top class rank. Giving back to the community is very important.
