This. Chapel Hill is a fantastic school (but UVA is also great, not a wrong choice can be made IMO). Schools do have different vibes and it depends on your particular DC which one is right for them.

There was a recent thread I think on the vibe differences if you do a search. I’m an OOS Tar Heel, who went to UVA grad so in my data point of 1 I think UVA is preppier, more Greek focused, a bit snobbier with richer kids. Chapel Hill is more laid back, it’s a liberal area within moderately conservative state where most people of different view points get a long (vs an us vs them atmosphere) and the school is much more socio economically diverse (which for many kids it’s their first experience with that). But Charlottesville is also lovely.

It is MUCH harder to get into Carolina OOS than UVA OOS. That data is all public, not looking for a debate. [/quote]

It’s harder to get in because UNC (by law) enrolls 18% OOS vs. 32% OOS UVA.[/quote]

yes and unfortunately that same statistic makes the UNC student body have much lower stats and ability than the UVA student body, which is why UVA does better in recruiting, grad/prof placement...[/quote]

Please post your citation/references for these "stats". I tried myself to find what you claim and cannot find it. So either you're making it up or it's hidden online. Thanks.[/quote]

DP but you can see it a bit on the CDS for both schools. SAT percentiles are nearly identical (1400-1530 at UNC vs 1410-1520 at UVA, median 1470 for both) but ACT, which is much more common in NC and is the much more reported score at UNC, is somewhat lower (28-34 at UNC vs 32-35 at UVA, 31 vs 33 median).

It’s not a huge difference—I would disagree with the PP’s characterization of “much lower” stats—but there is probably something there.[/quote]
