What are my chances? (UNC Chapel Hill, NC State)

Hey everybody, I’m a junior this year and am curious about my chances of being accepted into UNC Chapel Hill and NC State. Here are my stats:

-4.58 GPA
-29 ACT
-Varsity tennis player 9-11 grade
-Varsity Diver 9-10 grade
-Latin club member 9-11 grade
-National Honor Society 11 grade
-National Latin Honor Society 11 grade

  • Only a few B’s in honors/AP classes

Leadership:

  • Tennis Coach at country club 8-11 grade
  • Head of Pool Logistics 9-11 grade
  • Student Coach 11 grade
  • Historian of National Latin Honor Society

I forgot to note that I’m also an in state applicant.

Based on what kids got into from this year I would say that you have a greater than 90% chance to get into State and for Chapel Hill you are probably about 70%.I have similar stats and will be applying to UNC-CH this fall as well. If you are trying to get into engineering at NC State I would lower your chances a little bit only because Engineering at State is tougher to get into than most other majors there. Strong essays could make all the difference for you at UNC-CH. Best of luck to you.

It looks like you have a great chance of getting accepted into UNC! Your ACT score is a little low though, so if you want to solidify your application and increase your chances, bring up your score 1-2+ points. Because you’re an in-state applicant, however, you should be fine with your ACT score. Unless you’re vying to be accepted into NC State’s engineering program, you have a very good chance of getting accepted. Make sure to rock your essays, get good letter of recommendations, and truly let the admissions officers know who you are as a person on your application. Good luck! :slight_smile: UNC Chapel Hill and NC State are both great schools
