<p>Just a note, my son is an OOS freshman at UNC who scored a 1360/2080 on his SAT. (He actually did slightly better but those scores were never sent to UNC as he was already accepted EA.) He had no hooks, he is not a child of an alumini, and he is not an athlete. Just a kid that worked real hard all through HS and worked really hard on his application and essays. He had a 4.0 GPA with many AP classes. He was also involved in many activities in HS, leading a couple. I agree that UNC takes a holistic approcach to admissions and that trying to analye the numbers being thrown out on this thread will get you nowhere. Also, like EA Dad suggested, my son absolutely positively did not want to go to our state flagship school. Due to the economy, I insisted he apply, but it was never his intention to go there. His decision was between UNC and another private university in DC, and he ultimately chose UNC and he couldn’t be happier.</p>
