| I am a graduate of a NC university and can tell you that coming from the DC area and will tell you that I would NEVER send my child to a NC public institution for school. Due to the charter that 80%+ must be from NC means that while your child needs great grades/ SAT scores to be accepted the kids from in state who attend are not on the level of the kids from a middle of the road high school here. The public education system is not great there and that needs to be taken into consideration when 80% of the kids are in state |

OP, you came to the wrong place to get specific information. Try Unigo, Niche, College Confidential especially the Parent Forum, Google, etc. You'll get better reviews. Good, bad, or indifferent. |

http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/acc/unc/article110315307.html "The NCAA rejected all of UNC’s arguments – and asserted that the university didn’t tell the NCAA everything it should have about the classes in 2011. The commission that accredits UNC made a similar charge in putting UNC on probation for a year in 2015. It instead cited the university’s “willful violations” and “blatant disregard” for NCAA regulations." |

"Folt should take charge of scandal mess at UNC" http://www.newsobserver.com/opinion/editorials/article110655212.html "After millions of dollars spent on attorneys and public relations help, after years of obfuscation and complaining about news coverage involving the football team and a coach’s resignation, and then the academic/athletics scandal with phony classes in African studies which drew lots of athletes, the sad, sorry saga of UNC-Chapel Hill’s dispute with the NCAA appears headed to no end. Good grief. The university, which handled this entire scandal poorly from the beginning — choosing to attack The N&O and Kane and hiding behind legal maneuvering and expensive outside public relations help — just can’t seem to get this resolved. And in the meantime, alums and taxpayers rightly want to know why. For years now, university officials have waffled about everything in this scandal, and as a recent N&O series showed, even tried to downplay the fact that classes like the phony ones in African studies that proved popular with athletes could be somehow improper. The problems were finally investigated by Ken Wainstein, a Washington attorney, who found pretty much what Kane had found in his investigation, a clearly improper group of phony classes and other problems. The tab on that investigation was over $3 million. Had the university been more forthcoming from the start, had it not cloaked itself in the “Carolina Way” and simply refused to believe that the problems were as serious as they were, this could have been put to bed long ago. The latest fuss between the university and the NCAA is frustrating for the university’s constituency. Folt needs to take charge in a public way and do what has to be done to write the last chapter on this sorry story." |

I wouldn't apply there until they get their academic house in order with respect to the decades long fraud issue. |
