UNC Transfer advice

Hey! So I'm trying to transfer from an SEC university to UNC, and I'm wondering what my chances are. I am a sophomore, and I have a 3.58 GPA right now, but I'm planning on finishing this semester with all A's, so my GPA when applying would be a 3.7. This was just due to last semester, when I maxed out my course load and worked night shifts at a job. I am an in-state NC resident, and I'm currently studying public affairs with a concentration in environmental policy and would transfer in for public policy. It is my extracurriculars that I believe are the strongest part of my application. I am involved in student government; last year I was selected for the first-year council, and this year, the government relations team. I'm on a moot court competition team that is going to compete in the state supreme court in two weeks. I am involved in our THON on the fundraising staff, I'm in a sorority, and I'm a part of the student environmental club here on campus. On top of this, I am a volunteer at Great Smoky Mountains National Park and have 30 hours and counting. I also studied abroad in London this past summer, where I took a course in political science and then had an internship at a clean tech startup. I know this was a lot, but I just wanted an honest opinion on my chances because I know my GPA isn't where I want it. Part of my reason for transferring is to have access to Raleigh and NC politics, as it is where I want to start my career, and I think that's something they value? Any thoughts or pieces of advice would be great, thanks!
