It is super easy to get into from in state but very hard from out of state.

In case you've missed it, the Nobel Prize is a bit a joke these days and Academy Awards and Emmys? Really?


I want to see evidence that north Carolina is one of the worst in terms of k-12 public school systems.

And judging from the high number of illiterate athletes with degrees, there is an emphasis on Arts.


Perhaps you should share your "research" with US News because they somehow think that UNC is a Top 30 National University and Top 10 public university.

UNC is more selective than any of those schools for OOS students. More selective than Vanderbilt or Emory.


Percentage wise maybe, but my DC had friends accepted at UNC and not at some of those others. I think UNC draws a broader range of applicants so numbers don't tell the whole story.

I've read that it's harder to get into than Harvard from out of state. Only 18% of admissions are dedicated to out of state applications.

Top 25ish publics appeal to a far broader spectrum of applicants and are therefore fore selective even when ranked lower.

Is your DC at a private or public? If public, are you in VA, MD or DC?

Thank you.

What schools would you compare it to in terms of selectivity? (It is hard to parse out the statistics for out of state vs. in state.)
