Boston College has a little bit of UNC CH vibe but in a colder climate, more compact campus. You would have to go TO and ED.

Umiami is more vibrant more diverse than UNC CH with palm trees and sunshine with similar calibre student. Probably need to do ED II, but test scores would be on the money.

Villanova is an easier admit relative to UNC OOS. I think the campus is a little more remote and boring due to distance from Philly. Smaller student population than UNC but similar demographics.[/quote]

DC has stats like OP described, and was accepted at BC (RD and submitted 1400), but waitlisted at Villanova (EA, deferred, waitlisted).

So, in our experience ED and TO aren’t  necessary at BC for a kid with these stats, and you may be surprised with admission results. We thought Villanova was likely and BC was unlikely.

UNC is very much not a private catholic school in a large northern city (or suburb of such a city). That is an insane comparison.[/quote]

Based on what OP described as key characteristics that her DC liked, BC ticks a lot of boxes:

“She liked the academics, school spirit, medium to large enrollment size, campus and surrounding areas and the vibe of the student body - it feels like greek life is there if you want it, but school isn't dominated by it if you don't.“

Also Chapel Hill’s proximity to Durham is similar to chestnut hill’s proximity to Boston.

OK.... but Durham is not comparable to Boston.
