SAT scores for out of state students?

My OOS D’s scores are almost identical. She got “likely” notes, was admitted early, and got in the Honors program (no $$ however!). And, she’s loved every bit of her first year there.

Every thing counts at UNC on admissions – essays, recs, extracurrics – all of it. So the scores are a factor, no doubt. But start early on the essays and short answer questions, and polish them. Also important, get your requests and supporting information to your teachers (for recommendations) early, so that when they are writing the letters for you, they aren’t cranking them out with all the others they need to write. Good luck!
