Eml2505…You’ve overlooked a big component in your OOS comparison – the number of OOS applications each school receives. My D was an OOS applicant at both and was accepted at both. Many of her friends were accepted at UNC but not UVa. In her circle, no one was accepted at UVa and rejected at UNC. Both are great schools; however, even though UVa has 28% of it’s student body from OOS (vs. UNC’s 16%) I believe UVa receives more applications from OOS applicants making it as, if not more, competitive. (Both schools have a total acceptance rate around 31%. UVa’ OOS acceptance rate is around 22% I believe – maybe Dean J can verify this stat. UNC’s OOS acceptance rate is around 21%. The difference us marginal.)
