Okay, here’s the data smarty:



In recent years, approximately 19,000 students have applied for freshmen admission at Carolina. Almost 11,000 of those students were considered out-of-state for admission purposes. Approximately 2,100 those students received admission offers.

UNC acceptance rate: 19%
Cornell acceptance rate: 25%

Now consider that the top applicants at UNC are the OOS students, as it is much more difficult to get accepted OOS than in-state. Lets compare the SAT ranges:

UNC: 1200-1390
Cornell: 1280-1490
