Would graduating increase my chances of acceptance into UNC Chapel Hill right now I believe it is a SUPER reach for me. My only hesitation on graduating is they undergraduate grants I would lose eligibility for which over the next 2 years could save me up to $40,000. I'm currently a senior but I could just simply not declare for graduation and apply to UNC.

CGPA: 3.65

Was in the honors program but I'm not planning to do a thesis so I'm going to drop it, think that would also inhibit my chances?

I'm confused. So if one I planning on graduating and attaining their bachelors in spring 2014, would UNC consider that applicant as one with a bachelors degree for their 2013-2014 cycle? Or one without a bachelors?

You can attempt to not graduate and transfer over, however sometimes even the strongest of applicants are not selected by a school. The safest route is to hope to get accepted, but plan to graduate and then apply to numerous schools.

I agree. Having a BS/BA is beneficial to the strength of your application for a lot of schools and will offer you other options in case you don't get into pharmacy school or decide to switch career paths.
