Hey, I'm thinking of applying to UNC for their computer science program. Can anybody let me know what the acceptance rate is for their comp sci department? It would be really helpful, thanks!
Hey! UNC Chapel Hill does not provide specific acceptance rates for individual programs or majors, including computer science. They evaluate applicants based on a holistic approach, considering all aspects of your application such as GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and personal statement.
However, UNC Chapel Hill as a whole is quite selective, with an acceptance rate of around 20%. To be a competitive applicant, it's essential to have a strong academic profile along with demonstrated interests in your desired field (in this case, computer science). This could include things like internships, personal projects, or extracurricular activities related to programming or technology.
I'd recommend focusing on strengthening your overall application and showcasing your passion for computer science through your essays and extracurricular activities. Good luck with your application!
