My schools GPA grading scale is different than most in NC, to get a 4.0 in a class you have to have a 96+ then for each point under a 96 it subtracts .125 to get your GPA in a class (i.e. 95=3.875, 94=3.75, 93=3.625 etc...) and we grade on a 7 point scale like most NC schools</p>

<p>You should definitely get your GPA up but other than that you like good for UNC.</p>

<p>You’ll most likely get in.</p>

<p>Hope this doesn’t sound mean, but you’re not seriously worried, are you? You have the Ethiopian/first generation card, and after seeing your sisters’ experiences, you should be feeling pretty good…</p>

<p>I stopped reading after African American. You’re in. You’d probably be in even if you were white.</p>

<p>Hahaha i really did get a good laugh on that one. Thanks you guys!!</p>

<p>Sorry dude, judging by your stats…
I am gonna say you have 120% chance of getting into UNC.</p>

<p>How about this???</p>

<p>Well… 95% of of admitted UNC students have a high school GPA of 3.75 or higher, so you are at a slight disadvantage. That means you should apply early to UNC, and retake your SAT scores. You have an OK chance of getting in.</p>

<p>should i be ticked off over being so close to top 10 percent? or are they leniant?</p>

<p>They will be lenient I would imagine. Your SAT scores are the larger red flag however. You REALLY need to get those up to around the 2000 range to offset your GPA</p>

<p>and also for anyone who knows what duke tip is, should i add that on? even they are rivals?</p>

<p>Yes, add TIP in. They told me at a presentation they did at my high school that they love TIP kids.</p>

<p>Oh i just realized somethings. I meant to put 1880 on the SAT and when i said first American Generation i was trying to say that i was the first natural born citizen of my family and will be the first one to go to a U.S. university but both of my parents have degrees from ethiopia, in fact my dad has an M.D. And i plan on applying on EA</p>

<p>And also i’d like to know if i have any chances for Duke and Wake as well.</p>

<p>You should get in based off of my stats when I got in. OOS and my SAT was around the same as yours and my GPA was around yours. You also have more ECs than I did. Good luck!</p>
