<p>Honestly, I think you could get into UNC. You’ve got the test scores, you’ve got the GPA. Also, I think you can get into Emory and UVA, as well as UMich. University of Miami, I’d say you’ve got a pretty dang good chance there too. The Ivies, well…it’s a crapshoot for just about anyone who hasn’t cured cancer, so…but you’re still competitive! </p>

<p>As for the situation, at my school, people enroll in the AP courses, and they get dual credit at the local community college. So I wouldn’t say that’s a disadvantage, but correct me if I’m thinking about something else.</p>

<p>Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor! :)</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>you can get into UNC outta state…my bro got in w/a 3.5 HS GPA and 1430/1600 sats OOS non-existant EC’s but did have 8 or 9 APs</p>

<p>I think you need more matches and safeties. I think 11 of the schools on your list are reaches.</p>

<p>Bump bump… come on guys. Any advice and/or chances would be great. and if anyone can suggest some good out of state safetly/match schools that give good financial aid?</p>

<p>Umm… If i’m not mistaken, Emory is Early decision, not early action? Not sure if you actually applied to Emory ED as well as JHU ED by mistake or didn’t actually apply ED to one of those? Don’t know. As far as chances go, I think you’re a pretty strong candidate; however, a lot of those schools are completely random with admissions and are almost unpredictable. I’d definitely get some safeties if they’re all OOS. Maybe try Indiana at Bloomington? I’ve heard they’re good with aid, not 100% sure though. Overall, you’ll more than likely get into at least 1 or 2, but there’s always the slim, crazy chance that they all fall through (doubt it). Chance back?
