[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re from Virginia, good luck getting into unc chapel hill. They have the highest in state bias of any public school, something like 80%. [/quote]

Higher, it’s around 84-86% by law.  [/quote]

Stats from 2017 Class at UNC

40,918 applied
9,709 admitted (24% of all students applying; 46% of NC applicants; 14% of out-of-state applicants)
4,355 enrolled (45% of all students admitted; 61% of NC admits; 20% of out-of-state admits)[/quote]

By law out of state enrollment for OOS students is 18%.  It doesn’t have to meet the cap but it cannot exceed the cap.  UNC is unapologetically a university for NC residents.  They do not tinker with the instate and OOS ratios in a way to balance their budget like Virginia schools (Virginia is getting a lot of heat for that from Va Residents bc it’s now harder for Virginia kids to get into Virginia schools but Va increased the OOS ratio and decreased the instate ratio).  NC has been very clear they have no plans to ever change their instate policies.   And OOS athletes also count towards the 18% OOS ratio UNLESS they are on full scholarship.

So it’s pretty hard to get into UNC OOS.  If your child gets in I would be super impressed.
