| CH campus? How hard is it out of state? If your child had it on their list, what other schools did they like? did anyone visit? |

| Acceptance rate for oos kids, was a little less than 8 percent last year. Those numbers include recruited athletes so about the same odds as a T10. |

| It’s very difficult. Our Naviance said 8% acceptance rate, nobody admitted last year. |

UNC Chapel Hill is notoriously difficult for out of state admissions with 8% OOS acceptance rate. This is definitely data you can easily research online.

Chapel Hill? Very hard admit oos. They only accept 18% oos students in each freshman class. I've been there a bunch. I used to live in NC, have done the college tour, and had kids in summer camp there. It's a nice school. Campus feels sprawling, but it's probably not any larger than other state schools. Chapel Hill has a little walkable downtown adjacent to school. There were quite a few empty store fronts the last time I was there, but that was true in Westwood when we went to see UCLA too.
DS was interested in Michigan, UNC, UVA, UCLA, UC Berkeley. Didn't end up applying to UNC or UVA. |

| Girl from out public in New England got in last year. She had top grades, stats, and ECs. I know the school has a lot going for it, but the out of state kids are at a different level than I state kids which isn’t ideal IMO. |

Can you expand on that? |

You have to be a much stronger candidate to get in out of state - higher grades, test scores, better ECs, etc. So, the out of state kids are generally more advanced than the in state kids… |

The only kids I know in NoVA who got in were recruited athletes. Seems like a waste of an app otherwise when it's not really different from other southern flagship/big sports schools. |

They're stating the OOS kids are smarter and that NC in-state students are dumb. Impact is don't send your smart kid there to hang with the deplorables, they will not be challenged. |

Very hard. Only the best within the state get in, much less from other states.

Fcps, so obviously oos:
unique application Excellent ECs (leadership, long term, varied but many connected, work, evident impact) TO 4.4+ gpa (2 b+) Very high rigor Saw one LOR and it was very good |
