Greetings:

Wow, you waited almost 2 hours before losing patience with the forum… I am sure you have researched the statistics but if not, here is the profile of the incoming class.

[UNC News - Preliminary Profile: 2013 UNC First-Year Class](http://uncnews.unc.edu/content/view/6168/107/)

As you will see, there were almost 21K OOS applications this year for a class that by state mandate is comprised of no more than about 18% OOS students system wide. For the class of 2017, actual statistics: 20,944 OOS applications, 3,199 admitted (15.2%), 763 enrolled (3.6%).

Based on the stats presented, it appears that you are in a very strong position to be accepted many places, Chapel Hill included. As strange as it sounds, admission to UNC can be as difficult for an OOS student as it is to gain entrance to an Ivy. Keep up the good work, show Carolina why they need you, write interesting essays and get good recommendations. Good luck with your pursuits.
