Morons not "conservatives" To label oneself a conservative at this point in time means you are brain dead. |

| The oos acceptance rate is about 8 percent. It’s fine to apply as long as he understands the answer will likely be no. |

| This is the OP. 8% acceptance is definitely sobering. At the same time, have to have some reaches. He’s a good student, mostly all A’s (a B a year) in hard classes and solid community service. ACT is a 33. I think his expectations are realistic. That it’s a really long long shot. |

He could be the 1 student who gets in from his high school. Yes, one. Sure apply as long as he wasn't fallen in love.

| He should state in his application all the reasons he does not want to attend UVA. They will think he will go to UVA. In the end, they will think he would choose instate due to cost. Competitively, btw, he won't have a prayer gettin in to Chapel Hill (from a NoVA public HS) unless he's an obvious shoe-in at UVA. |

Says the supposed adult that is calling people morons and brain dead on an anonymous forum. Nice self-own. |

1/3 of kids at WM and UVa are from ROVA. Which can hold its own on conservative issues. UNC gets a lot of kids from Asheville Charlotte, RTP and Ws-GSO-HP, which are more liberal areas. NC is only as red as it is for the US House and state level elections because the gerrymandering is literally insane. |

It’s pretty liberal. Certainly not much more conservative than UVA. — UNC alum |

We know of one admit from the last three years at our kids’ DMV public. That kid chose UVA. |

| When we lived in NC, one of our neighbors moved there from Fairfax because their kid wanted to attend one of the UNV system schools. They moved so he could start his junior year of high school in NC. |

| My kid got more USPS mail from UNC Chapel Hill than from any other school. (She made a pile and sorted through it at one point). She did ask her college counselor at school about it and was told that despite her qualifications, there was little point in applying from out of state unless she was a recruited athlete (no) or had a very strong connection to North Carolina that she could work into her essays (no). Many strong students from her school who want a flagship-type univ experience get into other highly ranked places like Michigan, Berkeley, and UCLA, so she focused on those and didn’t bother visiting or applying to UNC. |

| He could apply and get into one of their satellite campuses and then apply for main after a year. |
