commenting to bump this to the top
Date Applied: October 13th
Early/Regular: Early Action
Desired Major/School: Business, also applied honors and checked off assured admit for business (bold of me to think I had a chance for that 
)
GPA: 4.473 W, school doesn’t do UW but that’s a 3.97ish
SAT/ACT: 1460 (740 RW, 720 M), also submitted Dec. ACT (34 composite, 33 S, 36 R, 36 E, 31 M)
Rank: 5th when I applied but 3rd now (guess that doesn’t matter)
APs/Honors: 5 APs, avoided the 2 science ones my school offers. Tons of honors though and 6 dual credit courses. Counselor put max rigor. School does not offer many APs. I am in AP Calc right now too (definitely important for a business applicant)
Extras/Hooks: Not URM or low income. Thought I had decent extracurriculars though, I’ll list those briefly:
Also runner up on national level for FBLA, have been 1st at state several times, runner up at state a couple times…received grants for a community project
Strong recs IMO, I had two colleges pull quotes from my guidance counselor’s LOR.
State residency: OOS (Although my school has had several people in the past 3-5 years get accepted. Around a 75% acceptance rate for those from my school applying. Majority had 1300-1350ish SATs, 4.0 - 4.1 typical GPA range, basic extracurriculars…we rarely EVER send kids to elite schools, usually only the val/sal. Only one person in the past 5 years or so has accepted UNC’s offer, and she was an athlete. I was the furthest on the Naviance scattergram by a decent amount, so I figured I had a chance, albeit small).

Daughter OOS, NY. ACT 35 superscore (does UNC superscore?). No rank, highly respected private school. Highest possible rigor. Don’t compute GPA, but I’d guess 3.75ish unweighted? All 5’s on AP tests. Varsity field hockey. Good ECs- researched with local hospital for three years for pediatric diseases.
Accepted. Was rejected ED Duke (she must love the area!). Definitiely on her short list. Would possibly go to Vanderbilt, UVA, or Wake over UNC but she’d have to visit all again. When we were there, spent more time on Duke campus!
Does opting in for Global launch improve admission chances
