[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UNC-Asheville? Claims to be NC version of a public, liberal arts school. OOS Tuition plus R&B is about 35k.  Looks like a fair amount of merit. Although located in Western NC, it's evidently left leaning. 75th percentile SAT is 1250.[/quote]

This is a good safety suggestion--UNC Asheville is gaining popularity and the town is gorgeous (and has a long artsy history).  Given how competitive--and research focused--UNC has been becoming, NC families interested in quality of undergraduate education have been looking more and more to it as an alternative.  That said, just like UNC OOS is capped so you have to be much stronger. [/quote]

You're overstating this.  Yes, there's a cap but there's not nearly the same OOS demand as Chapel Hill.  UNC-Asheville accepted 84 percent of applicants last year and even with that had a decline in enrollment of 6.6 percent -- the largest of any UNC campus.  A decent application from OOS is going to get the nod.[/quote]
