I am in the process of applying to colleges and would like your opinion on my chances of admission to different schools in North Carolina. Here are my stats:
I am applying to UNCW, UNC Chapel Hill, Wake Forest ED, NC State, App State, and ECU. Of these schools, are there any you think I would be a solid candidate for? Wake Forest is my top choice, but I think it is definitely a reach for me. Will my high GPA compensate for my low SAT score? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
ECU is a definite match/safety IMO. UNC-CH and Wake Forest might be a little bit of a reach, mainly due to the SAT score. Without a higher score, I think it will be pretty difficult to get into Wake & UNC. Best of luck to you though, its also important to note that schools like UNC weigh essays heavily, so you still have room to boost your chances.
Yes I suggest applying to Wake because SAT optional and the people are cool. UNC is essay heavy but get recommendation from strong leaders. ECU, App State and UNCW really look at GPA and essays. They claimed they look at SAT but the truth is they dont. I know one friend that made a 1200 on the SAT and still got accepted into all the schools I mention because his recommendation was from a popular leader and is related to his major.
