I’m a sophomore at east chapel hill high school and my GPA is 4.0714 weighted and 3.85 unweighted. I play varsity football and both my parents went to UNC. I already have 62 service hours and am well on my way to over 100. I’m not currently in any clubs, but I plan to found one next year and take a high role in another one. I’ve also heard that since east chapel hill is by far the most competitive public school in the state, it is a little easier to get in from there. I also have an interest in sports writing and plan to start pursuing that over the next three years. I know UNC is high on athletics, could that help my chances? I’ve been a fan of the Tar Heels my whole life and it’s my dream to go there. What are my chances of getting in?
Interest in athletics in itself will not help unless you turn that interest into a worthy EC. The most important thing you can work on is your test scores and rigor/GPA.
Your numbers look very good for UNC, and yes your HS helps make that even better.
