<p>Today I met with my college counselor at school for the first time and I told her I was very interested in attending the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill obviously...) and she responded to me saying she's never had a student get accepted there. I've already visited and wrote a thank you letter. The last male that applied (UNC is like 60% female) was 2nd in his class and had a 35 on the ACT and wasn't admitted. UNC is my top choice school absolutely (even ahead of UCLA!)</p>
