AP courses, SAT prep, Went to summer school for three years to pack in more courses than the average applicant. The work study program was a big help with the finances.

I knew the right people, and used my political connections to get in to UNC. My father attended Carolina, his father attended Carolina, and my uncle is a major booster in the Rams Club, so I was a shoe-in to get in. If you are in-state, I would go that route to make sure you get in. If you are out-of-state, you need to work five times harder and find some sort of political connection to get in. It is easier to come in as a freshman than as a transfer. I knew in-state students with GPAs ranging from 2.6 to 3.0 and low SATs and still got into the university because they had the good connections. So, get the good connections and you will be ok.
Athletics/Training
Said I would play football.

Extracurricular activities i.e. sports and volunteer programs.

I did not go beyond filling out the application, as far as the actual process goes. In high school, I tried to get the best grades I could and be active. I participated in service groups as well as other extracurriculars and sports.

early admission, standard application.

I was captain of sports teams, an officer in some clubs, and i had AN ABUNDANCE of community service. If you focussed on my academics alone I would say I was slightly higher than the average person. Out of a class of 500 people i was 29th; which means i was top 10% of my class, which is important as a white male. I only took the S.A.T once which i would definetley not recommend to any of you but I received a score of 1250 and as you can see I got in. I applied utilizing UNC-CH early application process which I believe helps as well so that you're competing with only those who have applied early and not everyone who plans on applying to this school.
Business - Management and Administration
Lots of extracurriculars. Be well rounded.
Business - Management and Administration
UNC is difficult to get into, especially for out-of-staters. I think the university is looking for well-rounded people - those who have the grades, SATS scores, and activities. Write a creative essay that will make you stand out.
