University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Out of State)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hey guys! I applied EA to UNC, so I’ll be finding out soon, but I just wanted to get a realistic idea of what my chances are for getting in as an OOS student.
I go to a top private high school in St. Louis, Mo.
GPA: 3.8 UW
5 APs (Calc AB, Calc BC, Physics, APUSH, and Politics(my old school didn’t offer very many)).
ACT: 34

I am very involved in ECs, but I transferred schools Senior year so I couldn’t fulfill many of my president positions and captain of tennis. My most important ones are:
3 year Varsity Tennis
Show choir National Champions
4th in Illinois State Math Competition
National Placers for We the People Debate competition
Spirit Club
Musicals
Quartet (sang for a President)
Youth Leadership program (year long)
work experience
Physics Club
Yearbook (3 years, editor)
Students Against Destructive Decisions
International Club
NHS
Academic Achievement Award
Paged for a State Rep
Tri-M Musical Honor Society
150+ Volunteer hours
Medics
Abroad Missions Trips

My essays and recommendations were all great.
Again if you could give me your two cents, I just want to get a realistic idea. Thanks!

I think that you have a very decent chance at getting in. Your GPA might hurt a little bit, but everything else on your application looks very impressive. My guess would be that you stand about a 50% chance.

UNC-CH: Reach (you may as well be applying to Duke)
WUSTL: Reach

Is SLU your safety?

Catria, Mizzou and Indiana were my two safeties and I’ve gotten into both! Thanks for the help guys!

You look really similar to me, and I’ll be applying there next year oos too! Good luck, if you could let me know if if you did if its not too much trouble that would be so helpful :slight_smile:

Do let us know if you got in. You have a shot, but remember that UNC CH was created for NC’s residents, so only 18% students can come from out of state. Most of those will be athletes and legacis, so that admission for other applicants is as hard as Duke or Vanderbilt. What are your matches? You need 3-4 colleges between Mizzou and Indiana and the deadlines are running out soon.

I did not get into UNC CH, but I got into Wash U and will be attending in the fall!
