Early Action as OOS to Chapel Hill?

[Anonymous]

Again, another era. If they didn’t apply the last two cycles, it truly isn’t relevant.

My OOS DS, not a legacy (and no other connections) and caucasian, was accepted EA for the honors college for 2023. He had high grades and test score and extracurriculars with leadership positions - just like many other applicants, I am sure. Your kid should give it a shot, OP.

which state, though?

Chapel Hill will consider legacy preference for OOS applicants only. OOS athletes do NOT count towards the 8% OOS cap for incoming freshmen are are lumped in with the instate freshman for the state requirement calculations. If Carolina exceeds the 8% OOS incoming freshmen limit it just pay a fine.

This is all public info and not some secret. Do your research. Google in your friend here.

You do your research. The oos acceptance rate is indeed 8 percent. The oos cap is 18 percent and does not include athletes. They are obviously not the same statistic.

Yes 18% OOS cap with 82% instate (combined with OOS athlete) minimum. As you can see I had many typos, thank you for pointing it out (even if you’re super rude, must be a dookie)

I’m super rude? Telling others they are wrong, and “to do their research,” is not polite, particularly when you are the one with inaccurate info.

OOS limit is 18 percent and legacy tip only counts for OOS applications. Acceptance rate for OOS legacy has been roughly 40 percent for some time, much higher than non-legacy. But this rate might reflect, in part, the quality of the applicants.

The number of OOS applicants who are legacy is a tiny fraction of the overall pool of OOS applications. The higher rate of acceptance for legacy OOS applicants does not affect the overall composition of the incoming class very much.

18 percent cap, yes, and the data I have seen says 40 percent OOS legacy acceptance rate, rather than 12 percent. The number of legacy OOS apps is a tiny fraction of the total number of OOS apps, much less OOS + in-state.

Publics and privates also have much better chances than VA students.

Athletes as pp mentioned are in this pool, too.

OP here. Why would MD or DC students have better odds than VA?[b] DC is at a MD private.

They don’t. UNC might give an offer to an oss to gain bragging rights due to geography but that would usually be someone from SDakota
