UNC Chapel Hill Early Action for Fall 2024 Admissions

Colleges & Universities University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill

It is just slightly higher most years.

604

Daughter rejected
OOS/Fla
3.93 UW/5.2 W, top 1-2% of class of 750
14 AP classes (including this year)
Dual Enrollment through UF (As but that wasnā€™t known when applied)
1520 SAT
36 ACT
Captain Track and XC, all-conference, all-district
Editor of School Newspaper
VP of 1 or 2 school clubs

Timing stinks b/c she got accepted to Michigan today and was very excited but I think UNC was ahead on her list. I was surprised, but not so much after seeing all the extraordinary students posted on here who didnā€™t get in. Thatā€™s life.

Waitlisted In-State
CS Intent
4.4/3.74
36 ACT
Tech internship/competitions, lots of community service involvement
Very strong essays, collaborated with a UNC professor

In retrospect, my class rank of 56/325 was probably the killer. However, State is better for CS anyways >:)

D24 OOS rejected

Top 5% of class, I actually donā€™t know her W and UW gpa #s but she has gotten As in every class, 11 AP classes (4s and 5s) on all, 1400 SAT (probably a bit lower than UNC average), Varsity sport athlete, part time job at 20 hours a week, African American (not really relevant this year but thought Iā€™d mention it as many think minority applicants still have a better shot), won multiple art awards, good ECs on top of sport, volunteered consistently and often at the same non profit and wrote an essay about it, good overall essays. Sheā€™s disappointed but not entirely surprised as she knew the OOS stats. Congrats to those accepted!

What was your class rank?

608

Congrats on UMich! That is spectacular!

609

38/420, so top 10%. The top 40 kids are all clustered pretty close together, especially 10-40.

610

anyone get an academic scholarship? I got one which makes out-of-state tuition the cost of in state, and food and housing is covered.

my son (OOS) waitlisted

4.62 weight GPA and all High-level IB classes (all A or A+). 1480 SAT. student government, tennis team. Harvard book award last year in his class, and he made a mistake in his essay (he told me). Anyway.

We knew it since there is only 8% for out of state applicants. surprisingly, he was happy to learn that he is on the waitlisted. I guess that it showed he is a competitive applicant).

Note: He was accepted by his safety school yesterday.

OOS Rejected. 4.0 (UW), 33 ACT. State DECA, NHS, Key Club, Comp Sci club, tennis team. 3 years of calc, 3 AP CS courses as well as several others. The more Iā€™ve read the more I think applying to CS programs was actually a bad move and he should have applied to something random and just change once he got on campus.

She will love UT Austin. Congrats on the admit there!

616

Wow, one door closes, another one opens. It wasnā€™t meant to be for my OOS 36 ACT, Valedictorian, Class President DD. Reading some of the other posts are helpful-knowing there are others who had better stats in the same boat. We are confident she will land where she belongs. Congrats to those of you who won the tar heel lottery.

college admission is always a mystery, no one knows why some people got admitted and some donā€™t. My son told me that one of his classmates who had a better grade 4.4GPA, stats and etc got rejected by a school and another classmate with just 2.0 GPA was waitedlist. There are just too many variables there.

Students can always do transfer and apply for MS program in his dream schools in the future.

S24 OOS Accepted - Psych major
4.0 (UW)/4.5(W)
35 ACT

No ranking but I expect top 10% - the school has a lot of 4.0 students

D24 rejected, OOS CA, brother is currently a sophomore
3.85 UW
Test optional
5 APs completed, 5 semesters of Dual Enrollment completed
4 more APs + 2 semesters of Dual Enrollment senior year
PVSA Gold + bunch of awards and lots of ECs

Sheā€™s pretty crushed, even though it was a complete long shot for OOS
congrats to all who got in, as a Tar Heel parent I can attest that it is truly a fantastic school. Was really hoping to have another one go there too. Onwards.

Yeah, Iā€™ve heard they hold pretty firm to the top 10% of teh class. That said, weā€™re seeing a lot of deferred from NC State with high GPAs too.
