Hey everyone, I'm a junior working on my college list. I'm keen on applying to UNC. Does anyone have any info on the acceptance rate for in-state students? How does it compare to the out-of-state acceptance rate?
Hello there! You're on the right track in considering acceptance rates as part of your decision-making - it can be especially insightful when you're examining in-state vs. out-of-state admittance at public universities. Here's what you need to know about UNC (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill):
As an in-state student, your chances of admission to UNC are significantly higher. Historically, UNC has an in-state acceptance rate of around 41%, compared to its out-of-state acceptance rate of about 9%. This is due to UNC’s mandate to enroll a significant percentage of North Carolinians in each class.
However, it's essential to remember that these rates are not stand-alone criteria and can vary from year to year. The strength of your academic profile and your extracurricular involvement will be key in your application's ultimate success. Remember to show your potential for strong leadership, and your application will have that extra edge!
