<p>Thanks for that info AVA…and in the main that was my point. OOS acceptees are generally very high level and they are applying to Ivies, Amherst, etc.</p>
<p>We live in DC. I have yet to see UNC take a child from our Wash DC high school–URM or white --who is not at the top, esp. with their scores. I do know one student from a neighboring school–also private but parochial who is there -AT UNC-Chapel Hill now. (URM) Her SATs were 1340 (CR +M). S received a likely letter from UNC in Nov (2120 SAT/1440) and was deferred by Yale EA. Also applied to Brown, Pitt., Bowdoin, Hopkins and Oberlin. I love UNC and have since doing work down there 20 years ago. But rest assured, it is tough to get in from OOS. No cake walk for anyone,</p>
