[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh. I grew up in NC, and UNC was strictly a safety school for top tier kids, who tried for Duke, Davidson or Wake. My sister who was an okay student went, and is also in the meh category. It it tough to get into OOS, no doubt. But once you're there, you are with a class that is 80% in state. If I had a kid with the stats to get in from OOS, and was looking at paying OOS tuition, I would send them to Duke or Wake instead. Or any number of other private universities with stronger academics. I see the instate upside-- $$$$ & flagship state U. I do not see any upside for an OOS student. PS and if you want STEM or engineering, NC state is stronger anyway. [/quote] Wake is only ranked 3 points higher than UNC. How in the world would that make UNC qualify as a strictly "safety school" for Wake? Especially since the larger size would probably make it more appealing to a considerable number of applicants anyways. [/quote]
