<p>Our stats are very similar...
I am from NJ, 1340, 3.84UW, top 5%, play Varsity Tennis on a Sectional Winning Team, FBLA, NHS, Volutneerm among many other things. </p>
<p>Except... I'm not Asian and I am female. I also applied EA. I don't know if you did. </p>
<p>I think it's up in the air as to whether or not either one of us will get in but if I get in, you probably have a good chance. Good luck!</p>
<p>I'd rather not say online but in Union County, a small public school. No one would really know it hehe. How about you, if you don't mind posting. </p>
<p>I think you have a decent chance. Though i was checking on UNC and they say that their average GPA was 4.3!!! I wouldn't worry about that too much though because people from my school (miami, fl) in the past few years with similar grades to yours have gotten in (though they did applied ED (When UNC used to have it) and some applied EA) Your increase in grades would be a boost, and minority status may be also to your advantage (As well as good EC). I am similar to you in some ways. I applied regular decision this year and I have weighted GPA of 3.7/4. (had a 3.0, then a 3.8, then a 4.2, have a 4.5 so far this yr) SAT of 1370, (I didn't sent my II's because my verbal was not that great (540)), similar clubs and got pretty good essay and rec. Oh ya, also Asian. Anyways, do you know if UNC wants midyr or no? I hope they do...</p>
<p>(I didn't sent my II's because my verbal was not that great (540)), </p>
<p>TheKidd, what are you saying there? First of all, there's no verbal section in SATII. Second of all, you can't just send SATI score unless you sent the scores before you took SATIIs.</p>
<p>For EA, UNC said they would notify you if they want your midyear grade. When they contact you, they send you a link to submit your grade. For some reason UNC wants the midyear report from the student, not the high school. If you were not contacted, then they do not need your scores.</p>
<p>pockey 318 -- Did you apply EA? Did they request that you submit mid-year grades? I was kind of just assuming that that would be something the might want for RD applicants but not really enough time to process for EA applicants.</p>
