[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Applying to top state flagships in TX, CA, NC, FL, MI as a high school student living in a desirable urban or suburban area in that respective state is [b]no easier than[/b], say, applying to UVA from Arlington or McLean. Or applying to UMD out of Bethesda. [/quote]

um, getting into UNC much easier in state than UVA in state  Like 43.1 vs. 26.3  [/quote]

Not if you live in Chapel Hill, Durham, Cary, Raleigh or Charlotte.[/quote]

Yup. We live in Chapel Hill and know so many kids with great stats who didn't get in to UNC. It's much easier if you live somewhere else in NC, but then you have to live somewhere else in NC.[/quote]

Hmm...I wonder who my fellow Chapel Hillian who visits DCUM is. Anyway, while I have always heard it's harder to get into UNC from CH than other parts of NC, so many kids get in from my kids' high school. This year pretty much every "great" student and even some merely "good" students who we know applied, got in. (We know of 2 who didn't get in.) I was surprised by a few of the acceptances. Our school sends over 10% of its students to UNC.

I just looked at the scattergram for our high school (which probably could be more accurate, but it's the best we've got), and for 2022 it says 70 applied and 31 were accepted. In 2021 it says 80 applied and 37 were accepted. That seems pretty high to me. Our senior class size is usually under 200. This year it's ~172.[/quote]
