Chapel Hill is my dream school as I have so much passion for education. I want to major in Biology and double minor in Environmental Science and Journalism. My friends tell me I have nothing to worry about, but I would like some outside perspective. Please be honest! :slight_smile:

The in-state acceptance rate is over 50%. The one obvious reason for them not to take you would be that SAT score. Raise by 200-300 points and there’s little cause for them to reject a candidate with your profile. You’ll be fine.

@NotVerySmart thank you! My friend got in last year with a 1720 and similar EC’s as mine so I know it’s not impossible, but yeah I’m definitely not satisfied and will retake in september and october.

Oh and my rank is 15/381 so top 4%
