Blacks are 21% of NC population, but 9% of UNC chapel hill student population. Blacks were banned from attending UNC undegraduate until 1955.

But SFFA chose UNC for its lawsuit...

Only in America.

Peer groups and connections are an extremely important part of college (just ask Steve Balmer) - policies that so grossly tilt toward in-state students really water-down the student body.

That being said, from a political perspective I completely understand. I just wish DC had a real university where our citizens get an in-state preference.

It’s a state school. What else do you expect?

I may be wrong, but I seem to recall somewhere that athletes don’t count toward the 18 percent. Anyone OOS is a very tough admit.

Not really worth the time and energy for mid-Atlantic applicants.

Top states fir enrollment (in order)
North Car…
Florida
New York
Georgia
Virginia
Maryland
New Jersey

The numbers for OOS are relatively small, but the odds to be admitted from DMV is the close to the best you’re going to get

Maybe. But would discourage any OOS non-recruited athlete student from becoming fixated on the school. Cornell and Michigan are going to have better odds.

. I think athletes are considered inthe “in state” numbers - at least those on scholarship

Still ranked higher than UVA.

A tiny fraction of the oos applications are from legacy applicants, who are admitted (historically) at a rate of 40 percent rather than 13 or whatever the overall oos rate is. Still only amounts to a few hundred students.

Does anyone know what percentage of applicants are OOS legacy? I know legacy is only considered for OOS at UNC-CH.

A 1986 UNC System policy mandates that no more than 18 percent of out-of-state first-year undergraduate students may enroll on most UNC campuses.

Currently 82.5% in state, 15.5% OOS, and 2% international

43% acceptance rate for in state and 8% acceptance for OOS. It's only mid-range difficult admit if you live in NC but it is a very a tough admit from OOS.

About 20% are OOS.

Is it mainly all NC residents and athletes? What % are out of state?
