Tell me about UNC

Because of the OOS cap it makes the school seem more competitive than it is just looking at overall acceptance rate. Nothing spectacular about any of their programs and not great for STEM.

Ths is correct

UMD in state and OOS acceptance rates are nearly identical.

Yep. They and UNC (and I'd throw in Michigan and UVA) are all basically the same school in different locations.

UMD is not at all at the same level as UVA, UNC or Michigan. In NYS, that is a school for the slightly above average public high school kids. UVA, UNC and Michigan are schools for top students at top private and public schools considering top 30 schools only.

UMD is more similar to Wisconsin.

Just giving you the objective OOS view.

Agreed. Nobody from NYS proudly says “I have a kid at Maryland.” It’s a different story when it comes to UVA, UNC and Michigan.

If your kid can get it, its a fantastic school and environment.

much easier as a transfer student. Know several kids who didn't have a shot as a first year but were later admitted - even though the application was weaker at that point.

I’d even say UMD is more similar to Rutgers than Wisconsin. Wisconsin and UNC both are viewed as a lot for appealing for undergraduates than UMD.

This is the case at many schools and not unique to UNC.

So u saying UNC in-state students just a tad better than hillbillies?

“UMD is not at all at the same level as UVA, UNC or Michigan.”

I’d be a bit more specific. UVA and particularly UNC are not at the same level as Michigan either.

Wisconsin is a much easier admit than UMD. That said, it has a much better campus experience than UMD which is why it is more popular for OOS applicants.

It also historically has had a better academic reputation, which OOS applicants rely on to some extent.

True. I don’t know why Wisconsin seems to have slipped in recent yrs and is now less desirable than UT Austin. It used be where you went if you missed Michigan.

Agree, they are a few steps behind Michigan but still very respectable.

Because the Wisconsin legislature has been dominated by a particular conservative party which has defunded a lot of what made UW so good.
