Ugh.. what are my chances?

<p>To be brutally honest, unless there are extenuating circumstances, you are a recruited athlete or you are a URM, I think your chances for admission to UNC are very slim.</p>

<p>Your SATs are very low for UNC for an OOS student and in fact over 200 points below the average in-state student. The unweighted (I’m assuming that is what you supplied) GPA is low for an OOS applicant as well.</p>

<p>From The UNC Admissions website:</p>

Is it harder to be admitted as an out-of-state student?</p>

<p>As mandated by the University of North Carolina General Administration, 82 percent of each first-year class must be comprised of residents of North Carolina. For this reason, the number of available admission spots for out-of-state students is significantly smaller. Additionally, we receive more applications from students outside of the state.</p>

<p>In recent years, approximately 20,000 students have applied for freshmen admission at Carolina. Almost 11,000 of those students were considered out-of-state for admission purposes. Approximately 2,400 those students received admission offers. The remaining 9,000 applicants were North Carolina residents. Usually about 4,500 of those students are admitted. These admission offers are targeted at yielding a freshman class of 3,900.</p>

<p>There are no additional requirements for out-of-state students; we use the same process to evaluate both in-state and out-of-state students. However, because we are limited in the number we may admit from out of state and because we receive applications from very well-qualified students throughout the nation and the world, the competition for out-of-state students is extremely strong.

<p>Here’s the profile of the entering Freshman class for fall 2008</p>

<p>When looking at all numbers remember that recruited athletes are a part of the numbers and that the pool for OOS students is smaller meaning that it is more easily diluted by lower scores for athletes, URMs etc. Which means in summary that the “average” OOS non recruited athlete has scores much higher than the numbers reflected in this summary.</p>
