| i'm not over it at all. welcome to CC. i think you should know what people are like on here by now.
when i said that UNC gives MORE weight to soft factors, that did not mean that Duke does not give ANY weight to those factors. yes, duke gives considerable weight to soft factors, but not anything like UNC when evaluating OOS students IMO.
at duke i feel there is a certain stats. threshold you must meet to even be considered for admission. then they start to look at those soft factors. at unc, i feel that threshold stat. levels are routinely waved for OOS applicants if someone has a URM status, etc.
OOS legacy status is very important at UNC, although it is not for IS students. it functions as a private school in this regard. |
