UNC Chapel Hill

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I am a senior at one of the top public high schools in North Carolina (so I’m in state). I am a student in the IB program. I will have completed 14 IB classes and 3 AP classes by the time I graduate. I did get 2 C’s my junior year; one in science and one in calculus. I’m very concerned that that will get my application thrown away. My GPA is a 4.58 weighted and 3.29 unweighted. My SAT scores are CR- 630 M- 650 W-700 totaling a composite score of 1980. I am president of our speech and debate team, coordinated a large debate tournament at my high school, and have been heavily involved in debate since my sophomore year. I also teach catechism at my local parish. I have done two internships for political campaigns, one for senate and one for mayor. This past summer, I spent a week in D.C. doing a program for women interested in political leadership. My selected major is Political Science, and I mentioned in my essay that I have an interest in my school’s student government and would like to run for congress when eligible.

Thoughts??

Your EC’s are quite good. and with your weighted GPA, you have a 30-40% chance, I’d say. I think you should have taken another attempt on the SAT.

chance back?

You have some good credentials. The two Cs and the lowish SAT scores are issues. I put your chances at 50-50.

@happy1 will you chance me?

6

I don’t know enough about in-state admissions to UNC to chance you. But I wish you good luck.

From what I know, in-state acceptance rate is above 50%. You have a very good chance, although GPA is low. Low Match.

Good Shot I’d say 50-50 is about right

Chance Back?

Your SAT is fine for in state students. I would say your chances are 60-40 if not 70-30.

@unctarheel0509 Agreed. I also think UNC has been attempting to refine their applicant pool’s extracurricular involvement so @collegechic123 would be an excellent example of this.
