I know my test scores are low but do you think I could get into these schools? Also is there any scholarships that you think would fit me? It does not need to be school specific.
Thank You!

Being first generation will help. So will being AA. I think you have a great shot at NC State. UNC will be a bit tougher. Duke will be a long shot.

Good luck.

My dream is Unc Chapel hill. Would you say I have a 50/50 chance of getting in?

UNC Chapel hill looks like you’re still below the 25th percentile. Middle 50 for UNC is 28-33. If you are URM, then targeting schools where you are at least the 25th percentile would put you in good standing.

I’d say a high reach for everything but no state. Good luck! Chance me back please?
