As you can see I’m mainly relying on my grades and test scores to help me in the admission process. My extracurricular activities I believe are average at best compared to my peers. My school is a magnet school so very competitive. I’m assuming my teachers will write fairly good recommendations because both my teachers know me very well and have seen my growth in the past years. The essays that I’m submitting I would say are around average, nothing extraordinary but definitely not below par either. Just curious as to how much extracurriculars determine admission into UNCCH and what my overall chances are. Look forward to a response!
