I don't get the out of state appeal at all. The in state kids I know are very average.

Is UNC truly test optional?

NP. Can you elaborate? My kid applied EA OOS. Honestly higher ed in general seems like a mess now but I'm open to learning more if you are willing to offer insights. Thanks.

No special tricks for this one. Just luck.
Do your straight-forward best with the application and see what happens.

The kid I know who is there from OOS also got into Penn but chose UNC instead. He was a very strong student with excellent EC.

It's sort of comparable to getting in OOS to UVA, right? At least in our private HS lots of kids apply to both of those schools --

The people I know of had excellent grades and good but not amazing ECs.

I don't see the point in trying too hard unless there is some family legacy attachment or some program that is super perfect for the kid.
I only say this because 1) the instate kids are pretty normal public school kids and 2) they are having ongoing staff and faculty conflicts due to politics.
It is a great school for the instate kids for sure but I don't understand OOS kids who trip all over themselves to get in. Seems like it is for bragging rights bc of the low OOS %.

Yeah, not really sure. Ours got in from OOS public - no hooks. Very high stats and just normal to good ECs, but nothing extraordinary.

You just have to be lucky. The students I know who were accepted did not have perfect scores or GPA. Nor did they have a hook. They just happened to be lucky.

OOS acceptance rate is 8%. You need a near perfect GPA and high scores.
