No one who gets into UNC is illiterate, apart from a handful of athletes possibly. You realize even if you took the phony classes, you still need to get in, right? College isn't for teaching you to read.

UNC is a joke to get into from in state. It's the nearly impossible standards for OOS applicants that drive the school's test score midranges up and its acceptance rate down. It's not like UF or UVA where tons of highly accomplished in state residents get rejected or waitlisted every year.

To elaborate on previous posts, check out these ACT midranges for 2020-21:

UVA: 30-34
UF: 29-33
UNC: 27-33

Any old loser can pull a 27 on the ACT these days, yet a quarter of UNC's most recent incoming class couldn't. Those are some of the people to whom the Georgetown poster is referring.

Good point. All the good schools have decades of illiterates with their degrees on the wall.

I'm the PP you're replying to. I grew up in NC (I didn't go to UNC, although I did get in). It's an easier school to get into in-state for sure, but every one of my classmates who went to Chapel Hill was literate and most were very bright (I mean if the threshold is actually literacy every person I knew who went to ECU was literate too). The middle 50% of SAT scores from in-state acceptances are still 1310-1500. That's not Duke, but it's pretty comparable to UVA and not at all a "joke." It's a good school with bright students, even if Sean May didn't get an education.

Yeah… except the problem isn’t that Sean May didn’t get an education. The problem is decades of Sean Mays got a diploma without any education for decades. So you’re anecdotal “bright” classmates were probably smarter before they went to UNC and dumber when they got out. The reason for this is that the school is dishonest, lazy and not too bright at administration.

NP in this convo.
I’m sorry life is such a zero sum game for you that you have to crap on the legitimacy of ALL UNC grads to feel better about your Georgetown degree.

Even the UNC PPs aren’t disputing that SOME athletes who passed their classes are possibly morons. We know. Doesn’t change the fact that academically it’s a good school.

The tortured logic of thinking that people with 1500 SAT scores become idiots because of a couple blow off courses has me questioning the value of a Georgetown degree and I'm an alum.

Are you questioning the value of your Georgetown education ?

Does UNC just lie for decades about their graduates being educated and able to read or do they also lie about incoming SAT scores? Seems to me since they are proven to lie about academics to win in sports they would definitely lie about academic quality.

I know other schools admit academically unqualified athletes but provide tutoring and often times struggle to keep them eligible and often times need to disqualify them. At least the degree actually means something. So those honest institutions are actually real and have some rigor. I mean the ivy level schools don’t engage in the practice at all which obviously puts academics first.

Love it. Wish it was what we had in VA instead.

If not, check Naviance. UNC has their favorite HS that they favor. If not one of those most favored HS, good luck. No one has gotten in to UNC from my kid’s school in a very long time. Highest stats students btw

THIS^ next to impossible to get in OOS. Easy peasy if you are in state. Chapel Hill is awesome, it was my DD's first choice but being OOS, all it took was one look at Naviance to know she shouldn't even other to apply.

DCUM is so out of touch with the real world. If Chapel Hill is easy peasy what do you think about Longwood?

Lots of kids from CLT and Raleigh don’t get in. I know a few Wake and Davidson grads who got rejected from UNC. Tons.

Besides, the small number of AFAM program grads do NOT wipe the entire graduate slate clean.
