Newfound Hope for OOS applying to UNC Chapel Hill

<p>Our S score 1440 and is an URM as are three other URMS (UNC applicants) from his class of 128 students who scored between 1400-1440. He is attending the Tar Heel Day next week as is another child. In many of these elite private schools it is not unusual to have a number of URMs scoring at that high end level and many apply to schools such as UNC and UVA. We are all OOS. What most people don’t realize is the school kills two birds with one stone. S receive a full ride to Pitt on the Helen Faison Scholarship with his 1440 and then was invited to apply for Chancellor which we declined…obviously leaving that spot open for a non-URM. We are learning that at the state schools it is much more cut and dry and dependent on the bottom line numbers.</p>
