<p>Your GPA and extracurriculars are excellent, but your SAT score is low for UNC - Chapel Hill. Your chances of being accepted are good if you can raise that SAT score.</p>
<p>Retake the SAT, but you should be good as an instate student. GPA is more important, and I don’t know anyone with 4.5+ instate who got rejected. I know a guy who got in with 1680 (he had a 4.9 GPA and was a phenomenal athlete though). </p>
<p>Write good essays and get good recs and you should be ok.</p>
<p>Also, repost this in the main UNC forum to get more opinions. Not many people read this forum.</p>
<p>Thanks for your opinions and advice! I’ll definitely consider retaking the SAT. I’m pretty new to College Confidential, so how do I get to the main UNC forum, TonyBallioni?</p>
<p>thanks! What about the “prep school” rumor? True/false? Somewhat true? I would just like to find diversity. Not necessarily diversity like UNC means (certain amounts of different racial groups) but diversity in personality!</p>
<p>I would say that there is a little bit of truth to that “prep school” rumor. I mean, there does seem to be a fair amount of people there that belong to the frat/sorority crowd. Especially at football games and in certain majors. (B-school, J- school)</p>
<p>But the nice thing about UNC is that because it’s so big, it’s diverse in all aspects, including personality types. I was never a part of the “prep” crowd but I never felt like I didn’t belong. There’s so many groups and clubs that you can definitely find your niche, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.</p>
<p>thanks bigdaddy! that’s probably the best response I’ve gotten so far. It sounds like I’ll fit in just fine :)</p>
