Okay here's the deal..Unlike most people on this board, I am not a genius.
Some people gave me wrong advice..and told me too take only one AP class because they said quality is better than quantity. Like if you made A's in honors classes and B's in AP--the honor classes looked better--apparently they were wrong!! My counselor didn't help me either ..so my Junior year..I have only one AP class (Environmental Science) 2 honors classes (US History) and English..Pre-Cal(regular but still weighted)..I am also only in Latin 2..because when i moved to my high school as a freshmen they said all of the foreign languages were filled up. My year grades are going to be all A's and One B in envi sci (92.4..grrr!) However next year I am taking 4 APS (calculas, european History,english and human geo) and Latin 3 and advanced Human Anatomy. Will Colleges think I have challenged myself..even with the classes I took as a Junior? I am currently ranked 15 out of 486 kids..i am hoping to get a 1220-1350 on my SAT..I have volunteered at the library for about 100 hours..I interned at the hospital in Anesthesia...I am on Student council senate--hopefully next year too. I am in several clubs..but no leadership positions..I tutored my neighbor..I am in national honor society..and national latin honor society..and am a junior marshall.. My weighted GPA is 4.4 and my unweighted is a 3.875--but more than likely it has gone up b/c this year i have basically made straight A's throughout the year. I live in North Carolina..what are my chances at UNC CHAPEL HILL or a scholarship at like Public University..not as selective as Chapel Hill? Thanks so much!!
PS. I am so sorry for the long post!!!

Just an uninformed opinion: good chance at UNC-CH.

But I am really writing to let you know that nearly everyone living outside of North Carolina would give anything to attend UNC Chapel Hill. I hope you attend.
