<p>I think your chances are good at both colleges. Your EC’s are good. Summer Ventures is an excellent one. </p>

<p>That said, admissions is unpredictable. I hope you have some less selective colleges that you like on your list.I see from your other posts that you have UNC-G and UNC Wilmington on your list, George Mason, and then some selective colleges. However, there are other colleges with selectivity that are between these colleges and your selective ones. You might consider applying to some in this middle ground if they seem to be a good fit. </p>

<p>You should have a decent chance at either school. Focus on your essays, as these are very important when applying to UNC! </p>

<p>You have a great shot at American, UNC I am less familiar with so I can’t comment to that, but good luck!</p>
