Do I have a chance of getting into UNC Chapel Hill?

I have always dreamed of attending UNC Chapel Hill, and I understand that their admission requirements are quite prestigious. I’m in my Junior year have roughly a 4.45 cumulative gpa thus far, and a 30 on my ACT. I also have a lot of extracurriculars as well. Do you think I have a good chance of getting in? #college-recruiting

Hi Jacob - I saw your question and wanted to send a quick reply. WOW! You are doing remarkably well - keep it up! I would definitely call the admissions office to understand their requirements. Being well-rounded and showing achievements in both academics as well as extra-curricular activities is very important (across different areas - sports, community service, work experience). I would also enlist the help of the guidance counselors at your school for advice and perspective as to what else is available at your school to help set you apart. If you need letters of recommendations from teachers, start to think about who you would ask for those and what they might write about. Congrats on your successes thus far and best of luck in getting to UNC!

Hi Jacob,

Congrats on doing extremely well in school. It sounds like you have all what you need. I would call the school's admissions department and speak to a representative to go over all of the school's requirements to get in. It looks like you may be a out-of-state student. Each school has a certain cap for out-of-state students and those slots can be highly competitive. It's best to get direction from the school.

Good luck!

Daniel’s Answer

I am a current senior at UNC! also out of state... so i understand the struggle of applying to out of state schools.

I would say absolutely apply; UNC has a requirement that a certain percent of undergrads are from NC, so getting in out of state will be harder when you think about how many fewer spots there are. That being said, the statistics you see online (median GPA/avg ACT score/etc...) won't really be representative for you. A lot of my out of state friends had ACT scores of 32-34, so you're almost there. Definitely play up all those extracurriculars; talk about a few in depth rather than many but not that in depth.

Good luck!
