I applied, but I won't be going since i didn't even make Morehead semi.
SATs are way way higher than average, as is my GPA.
You NCers have fun! A year from now, idk where I'll be but I'm 99% sure I won't be in NC.

Yeah, it feels pretty good being a NC resident. It's a lot easier to get into Chapel Hill and Duke when you're in-state.

CH may not have a county quota, but it definitely has the 82% IS/18% OOS quota as do all the schools in the UNC system, I think...

My daughter is applying EA. We're OOS, so it's a long shot. However, her stats are strong, so we're hopeful. Good luck to everyone applying.  | |

I'm applying EA, OOS. SAT scores are great, gpa is meh, but good enough. Since my school isn't Morehead-nominating, I am praying that I qualify to apply for the scholarship via admissions referral.

@deeds1:
You are correct; UNC's out of state population is limited by the general assembly to 18 percent.
Although there are no specific county quotas, it is a lot easier for a smart person to get into Chapel Hill from an economically disadvantaged county, like Franklin county, vs a well-funded, popular county, like Wake county. Intra-county and even intra-school competition within Wake County is very high.

^Good luck!
I find it funny that for a lot of people who are OOS, it's easier to get into Duke than to get into Chapel Hill. Being in-state is also really good if you're applying to Duke since they are required to have around ~16% of their class from the Carolinas.

Harambee - Question here. Duke is required to have about 16% from North Carolina or from North and South Carolina. I have never heard this before. Do you have a link where I can read about this?

I've applied there as well. 1870 SAT/27 ACT, 3.5(W)GPA, good extracircullars, good recs and all, not to mention top 15% of my class. I wish so many people from my school didn't apply there lol.

@DebateMom - Duke "traditionally" has 15% of it's class be composed of students from either North or South Carolina. A Duke admissions representative came to our school and told us that the founder of the university wanted Duke to give back to the local region. At the time, the South wasn't exactly the best place out there in terms of education so the founder saw fit that Duke have good chunk of it's students be from the surrounding area.
Here's a PDF for more information: http://www.bnduke.org/Media/Download...Profile2009.pd

Hey guys, question.
I applied OOS, but my school has never had someone apply to UNC before. Will I still be considered for referal by the admissions committee for the Morehead scholarship???

^From the Morehead-Cain website: Quote:
There are three ways for students attending high schools outside of North Carolina to be considered for the Morehead-Cain. They can:
* Attend an official out-of-state nominating school, receive the school's nomination, and complete the online Morehead-Cain application.
* Be nominated by one of the Morehead-Cain Affiliate Programs (HOBY, School Year Abroad, the Mountain School, Rainier Scholars) and complete the Morehead-Cain application.
* Apply to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill by the November 2nd early notification deadline to be considered through our Admissions Referral Program. Those students identified through our Admissions Referral Program will be contacted by the Morehead-Cain Foundation and invited to apply for the Scholarship on Friday, December 18, 2009.

I applied EA, but I'm from out of state, so I hear it's a LOT more competitive. UNC is my top choice. Anyone mind chancing me? What are my chances of getting into UNC?? | |
