<p>Please chance me guys, I've heard so many great things about UNC and it would be an honor to go to college there.</p>

<p>You have a very impressive history, but there is no formula for UNC admissions. UNC looks for no particular type of student, and there is no advantage for being of a certain upbringing or other. What is in your favour is your great understanding of UNCs passion for diversity. Diversity is a strong component of the Carolina Way, and expressing how you will contribute to it is an excellent ambition.
I am glad that you want to come here - it was honestly the best decision i ever made.</p>
