Hey guys! I’m just a stressed gal wondering her chances, please be honest!
ACT: 23, I’m retaking it two more times and I’m aiming for a 26
Weighted GPA:4.4
Major: political science
Race: Black and Filipino
Income: <60k
Rank: 15, Top 10%
I’ve taken all but one social science APs, All English APs offered at my school, 1/3 of the science APs, and 1/3 of the math APs offered at my school. I’m currently taking AP LIT, AP USH, AP GOV, I’m a TA, and AP STATS
Essays: I’m in the top 5% of writers at my school and would say I’m a good writer able to get my personality across!
EC:
I started 3 clubs, am VP of my school, I’ve been on student government nearly all my time at my school, attended a prestigious summer program (NC Governor’s School), multiple volunteer clubs, 100+ volunteer hours, teach Braille, tutor immigrants, was in speech and debate, was in marching band and robotics, I’m in my county’s democrat club, but I haven’t done any sports 
Please keep in mind I’m from a rural area with a lower socioeconomic background. Also, no one at my school in the past year made it into UNC-CH.
Any suggestions for other colleges would be great!
It’d be easier for someone to chance you if they knew what state you were from. I feel like it would benefit you to be an OOS student because it seems like they look more for your personality with OOS students, which you said you would convey well in your essays. I also say this because your ACT is on the lower end but your other stats might make up for it. And same with not doing any sports lol. I think UNC is such a coin toss but they are truly looking for interesting students and your background and work ethic should definitely intrigue them. I’d say don’t expect anything, just know it can go either way based on who reads your app. UNC definitely accepts people you wouldn’t expect and denies people you were sure would get in. That’s why I think anyone has a chance. Best of luck to you. Maybe we’ll both end up there. I appied EA so I’ll be hearing from them soon. Did you apply EA too?
I am from NC and applied EA and I’m now in the UNC ‘22!!! How about you?
