<p>I’m wondering if anyone could help me figure out my chances of getting into UNC as a sophomore. This gets a bit complicated.</p>

<p>I’ll have 30 semester hours when I apply. They are as follows:</p>

<p>UNC</p>

<p>The Black Experience A-</p>

<p>I took that class online. UNC offers courses for part-time student without having to be accepted as a full-time student.</p>

<p>COMMUNITY COLLEGE</p>

<p>American Federal Government B</p>

<p>Introduction to Sociology A</p>

<p>English I A</p>

<p>English II A</p>

<p>Fundamentals of Speech W</p>

<p>Fundamentals of Speech A</p>

<p>Introduction to Psychology A</p>

<p>US History from 1877 B</p>

<p>Humanities I A</p>

<p>Humanities II A</p>

<p>I’m just finishing four years in the military.</p>

<p>My high school GPA was awful. From memory, it had to be a 2.7 or 2.8. I was a bad student. I make attempt to qualify this in my essay, which is pretty strong.</p>

<p>Basically explaining how I’ve changed in the five years since I’ve graduated. I travelled the world, then joined the military, got back into school and excelled.</p>

<p>The application says you need to have at least “30 transferable semester hours… with at least six hours in each of the following disciplines: English, math, social science, natural science, and foreign language.”</p>

<p>Obviously, if you look at the courses I’ve taken, I don’t meet these minimum requirements. However, when I wrote them about that a year ago, the response was they review each person through a “holistic admissions process,” and would take into account everything I have done.</p>

<p>Just wondering what you think. Should I bother?</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>NC Resident: Yes</p>

<p>College GPA: 3.77 (30 semester hours)</p>

<p>SAT: This is being waived by UNC, because of my age.</p>

<p>Essay: Strong</p>
