<p>I think you have a great chance if getting in. You did make a C, but your GPA is very impressive, so I think that should be dismissed–especially with all IB classes.</p>
<p>yea, u can’t apply early decision to more than one school…
you can apply early Action to more than one school tho…</p>
<p>either way, if u are in-state for UNC, I would say u have a definite shot…but i need more info than just the stats u listed. what u described is a typical applicant to top-tier colleges…granted ur taking all IB’s so thats good, but about ur extracurriculars…can u elaborate? and class rank also if available</p>
<p>If you are OOS that SAT is far too low for admission to UNC or (Brown or Dartmouth) unless you are a URM or have some very unusual circumstances.</p>
<p>I think that SAT is still too low for most Ivys even if you are URM. Try retaking them, and definitely try the ACT; I personally scored 160 pts. higher on it when converted.</p>
<p>You don’t have to go for the big-name schools, either. There are plenty out there that offer a great education that you’d have a decent shot at. I’d look into places like Boston College, BU, NYU, Davidson, etc; those schools also take a close look at personal circumstances, so that might be beneficial to you if you have something there that could help. Let me know if you need any other ideas!</p>
<p>Hi, I got in oos… which was surprising because the essays I wrote didn’t seem very good at all. My main essay was about visiting NC on a ski/snowboard trip during winter break, and at the end I said, “And North Carolina wasn’t too terrible either.”
… which pretty much sums up the odd sense of humor I have, or stupidity for actually saying that.</p>
<p>My advice for writing the essays is to not be afraid of being a bit different than every other applicant.</p>
<p>My friend got into UNC-Chapel Hill with similar stats: all IB courses, URM, top of the class (ranked top 10), OOS, BUT had an overall SAT score of 1780. I think you have a good chance if you have awesome recs, essays, and ECs. Not saying every URM of 1700+ will get in, but it isn’t impossible.</p>
