What are my chances of getting into UNC Chapel Hill?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am an incoming junior. Chapel Hill is my top choice and I want to major in Journalism. I am also an out of state student from Maryland, which I realize decreases my chances of getting in. So far I have taken 2 AP classes and I plan to graduate with 7 or 8 AP's. I have a cumulative weighted GPA of 4.33. I have not taken the SAT or ACT yet, but I will take them in the Spring of 2015. I am class council Vice President, a member of The National Society of High School Scholars, and a member of the National Honor Society. I play lacrosse for my school and played varsity as a sophomore which I will continue to play throughout high school. I was selected after a tedious application process to represent my school at the Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership Seminar this spring. This summer I attended a 3-week writing program at the Interlochen Center for the Arts. I am also in the Advanced Placement Power Scholars program at my school. I have 150 community service hours. I am also a counselor at a camp during the summer. I plan on attending a summer program at UNC next summer and during my senior year I will have an internship in the afternoon. </p>

<p>What are my chances of getting into UNC? Also, what else could I do to improve my resume/application? Chapel Hill is my dream university and would do anything to get in. Thank you for your help! </p>

<p>Hey! That’s my dream school too! Up top! :smiley: Anyway, I know you won’t like hearing this, but it’s a little too early to start considering your chances at colleges. You really need to know your test scores, rough class rank and junior year grades before you can get a good picture. Best of luck anyway though. Here’s to us both getting in!</p>

<p>I know it’s early, I just want to make sure I do all I can to get in! What test scores should I get and what other things should I do that would look good on my application? </p>

<p>Make sure you are a well-rounded applicant, continue volunteering, and join some more ECs if you want (join because you are passionate about them not because you just want more ECs).</p>

<p>Thank you for the advice! </p>
