<p>Hey everyone, I was wondering if you all could help me out in regards to my chances for admission into UNC-CH. I am a high school junior in North Carolina, and that is my first-choice school, since it has a great journalism program. My GPA is 3.75, but I am currently pulling a C in Pre-calculus. I just took the SAT, but based on my PSAT scores, I am guessing that I got around the 2000-2200 range. I also expect relatively good scores on SAT subject tests, which I am taking in May. I have taken mostly honors and AP classes (14 out of the 24 classes so far have been either AP or honors), and I plan on taking the most rigorous courses in my senior year. As for extracurricular activities, I am in Newspaper, Latin Club, National Honors Society, and I will be joining/forming maybe two or three new clubs next year. Finally, I have recieved a few awards, such as a nomination to a selective NC-wide program called Governors School, National Latin Honors Society, and NC Scholars.</p>
<p>This may be a stupid question to ask, but neither of my parents went to college, and since I am the oldest child in my family, I am pretty much going at this application process in the dark. Any help that you guys can offer me will be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>I think your chances in state are pretty decent. Also, this topic would be better suited for the "What are my chances?" forum. Good luck!</p>
<p>thanks, just realized the "what are my chances" board about two seconds after I posted this one. by the way, awesome name.</p>
<p>I just got accepted as an in-state student. I go to a private high school in Charleston, SC--but thankfully, my father still lives in Winston Salem. Anyway, I took 7 APs in 4 years, had a 4.3/5 GPA, and had many ECs, including the president of 2 clubs, involved with sports, drama, yearbook. My SAT was mediocre, but the rest cancelled out. I think, by what you've listed, that you have a strong chance, especially being an in stater. It's almost near impossible, these days, to get in out of state.</p>
<p>Newbie Newbie Newbie!!! I was there once. There's a chances forum:</p>

<p>Though, I did post my chances question in the chances forum. :-)</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Yo, I think your chances are pretty high with a pretty good GPA and good SAT and EC’s. I only have a GPA of 3.3/4.0 and 4.2/5 and I am in the IB program at my school. I shadow a neurologist and a general practitioner over long weekends and summer of 2010 and school year of 2009 - 2010. I am volunteering at Duke medical hospital and at UNC medical hospital and I am going to Campbell University for a week long pharmaceutical program. I have basically no awards or EC’s from my school and weak grade, however the strength of my curriculum is one of the strongest in my school especially with IB. I got a 790 on the SAT subject test math level 2 and 720 on chemistry. My act composite score is 31~32. What are my chances of getting into UNC - Chapel Hill?</p>
<p>OP, I think you would be in at UNC.</p>
