UNC’s latest ACT scores for the class of 2022 are 29-33, so only slightly different from UCLA.

In any case, most people don’t tend to judge schools by minute differences in SAT/ACT scores. If that were the case, it’d be easy to say that, for instance, Colorado School of Mines is more prestigious than UC Berkeley (according to Greymeer’s data).
That’s why I’m wondering where this impression came from… or honestly if it even exists. I don’t think I’ve heard of people – on CC or elsewhere – claiming, for instance, that UVA is more prestigious than UNC. Maybe I just haven’t been on here enough though.
