<p>The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill...</p>
<p>this college has sparked my interest...</p>
<p>does anyone go here/know anyone who goes here?
if you know ANYTHING about it, please let me know.</p>
<p>also, is it very hard to get into? compare it to schools if you know any. thank you!!</p>
<p>There is a substantial amount of information on UNC on this site. I suggest that you do a search.</p>
<p>UNC is an awesome school...Ever since I was little I wanted to go there but for a few reasons I've decided not to attend. You should search this site and check out the UNC site as well. </p>
<p>My stats are average (3.5 GPA, 27 ACT) and my EC's werent spectacular. And my dad keeps changing jobs and money is tight these days.</p>
<p>I visited the campus and loved everything about it. If you're out of state, the chances of getting in are very slim unless you have very good stats and a great application. Or if you can dribble a ball.</p>
<p>When I visited, we were told that something like 80% of their applications come from out-of-state students, but due to state law only 19% of new students can be out of state students. So if you work the numbers, 81% of their students are NC residents and can get in easier than out of state students. </p>
<p>Anyways, none of this is meant to deter your interest. UNC-CH is an awesome school and I wish I could go there...I'm thinkin of goin there for Graduate work though in 4 years. Awesome school...definitely check into it if you're interested.</p>
<p>wow, i'm out of state.</p>
<p>i dont have many extra curriculars, and i havent taken the SAT's yet. my weighted GPA is approx a 4.0. do you think i have a chance?</p>
<p>thanks for your information FFAgirl, let me know! thanks =)</p>
<p>a 4.0 is a great start. sometimes you dont have to have a ton extra curriculars for colleges. sometimes having just a few EC's that you show alot of dedication to can be your ticket. i'm not totally sure of the avg stats for UNC--but there are others on this site who know these things. </p>
<p>what grade are you in? if your an underclassmen, keep up the good work in class and see what organizations/EC's are out there for you. colleges like the "well-rounded" students. if you're a junior or senior, again keep up the good work in class and keep tabs on what colleges like to see and what you're involved in. </p>
<p>ps--AP classes are a good bonus, if available at your school :)</p>
<p>thanks =)</p>
<p>i'm a junior. im thinking of volunteering at maybe a nursing home or something, im not really sure what to get involved in. im not a sports player. i dance, but thats about it. i really need to get some more EC's under my belt. any suggestions?</p>
<p>i didnt take any AP classes this year, but im planning on taking 2-3 next year. will that be good, even though i will be a senior?</p>
