Getting into UNC OOS is undeniably very competitive, especially since a large portion of the 18% out of state is athletes. So, really, I'd guess only like 8% of people are OOS non-athletes. Anybody have an actual figure on that? I could certainly see somebody getting into Duke and not getting into UNC OOS, but I don't think it's the norm. I still think Duke is a tad bit harder to get into. At least, from my high school in IL, people routinely use UNC and UVa as safeties for Duke since they're similar areas of the country and all good schools, and I've never actually heard of somebody get into Duke and not UNC - but, again, I'm sure it has happened. Maybe it's just my high school.
