Does he really want to go to UNC-CH? What State do you live in? I can see it, if you are from the south. I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about UNC-CH. These are my thoughts. With only 18% max. OOS accepted, and the HUGE divergence in stats between IS and OOS accepted students, (I’m sure that IS will disagree, but the numbers are the numbers) why would anyone from OOS want to attend? Surely, it has to be more than those pretty powder blue uniforms. For example, an IS applicant with 1860 SAT, no SAT II and a 3.3 GPA is likely to be accepted, while an OOS applicant with a 2050 SAT, and 3.6 GPA is likely to be rejected. Moreover, of the 18% OOS students accepted, I bet at least 10% of those are from VA, SC, GA, TN and MD. The school has to be VERY southern. That leaves about 8% for the kids from the northeast, mid-west and west. I just don’t get it. While I love the A.C.C. schools, I think that maybe there are better for OOS to choose from.
