[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually pretty hard to get in UNC-W from out of state. You might add College of Charleston to your list.[/quote]

Not sure your source, but the Wilmington Common Data Set indicates "state of residency" is considered, definitely not listed as Important or Very Important. The SAT profile is 1160-1310 and ACT Composite is 23-27.

Compare that to UNC-Chapel Hill. State of Residency is Very Important on their Common Data Set. [/quote]

I think the difference is that NC-CH has so many more out of state apps that  in state residency becomes a much more important factor there. But as an earlier poster said, the same in state/out of state percentage rules apply. The SAT and ACT numbers need to be broken down into in state vs out of state to know how they pertain to this issue. Only 18% of the students at UNC-W are out of state.[/quote]

Yes, all the public universities are subject to "no more than 18% of enrollment" can be from out-of-state.

According to UNC-CH Common Data Set, the OOS undergrad enrollment is 13%. According to UNC-W Common Data Set, the OOS enrollment was 11% (gong from memory). I think the UNC-W % is lower because it doesn't have that massive draft like Chapel Hill. UNC-Charlotte and App State are both < 10% out of state.

However, I maintain that UNC-W isn't "pretty hard" for out of state students to be admitted to, as was stated. There isn't the out-of-state demand like for Chapel Hill or NC State. They aren't applying a different set of standards. My DC didn't apply to UNC-W but did apply to UNC-C with modest scores and got in. [/quote]
