if this data is correct, and they are not expanding the class size,
We can expect an acceptance rate of 37% for in-state, 7% for OOS, 15% overall acceptance rate.

Ouch. My daughter is very interested in UNC, but I find it unlikely she will be an admit.
OOS from Northern Nevada
4.0UW/5.0W
Class rank 6 out of 510
Applied for English major
ACT total is likely low for an OOS admit at 30, but English score is 36 and writing is 34, so pairs well with major.
A bunch of ECs, 4 years of Varsity golf, 4 year academic all state team golf.
She’s in at UGA and Clemson already. I feel like UNC might be her #1, but she’s afraid to say it. She wrote a fantastic personal statement and essay, so she may have a decent chance…

Wish her all the luck!
Btw usually UNC EA acceptance is bit higher than RD, so she should get a larger chance of getting in than RD

Any idea of how the EA applications breakdown in-state vs. out of state?
nah, but I don’t think it matters, they treat OOS and in state like different ppl

There are typically a lot more OOS applications than instate, if I understand your question correctly (at least this was true my daughter’s year where there were 3x more).

Same. My son got the Christmas email. Anybody’s student receive any emails in re: academic opportunities?
We got the Seasons Greetings, what many are calling unlikely (or possibly likely haha), scholarships, and honors college emails. I don’t think any of it really means anything.

Yes, that makes sense. OOS is already more competitive for that reason plus the admissions rules that set limits on in/out of state acceptance percentages. I’m curious if the 13.6% increase in applications was proportionately divided between in-state and OOS or at an increased rate for one vs. the other from other years. Duke, for example, had a huge increase in NC/SC applications in their ED pool within their 30% increase in total applications. I’m curious about how that breaks down for UNC.

Good question. I am not sure!
Agreed. I suspect it’s courtesy communication. We’ve received similar emails and texts from other universities our daughter applied to and take them at face value. I think they understand that the students are more anxious about the college application process and want to convey messaging that prepares them for the reality of so many more applicants in their pools than ever. Plus, it costs them nothing to communicate and market digitally. (Unlike print marketing via mail) On some level they need to keep hope alive and protect yield. In terms of meaning, I don’t think it’s meant to mean anything personal to a particular candidate. Just meant to accomplish some sort of institutional communications goal.
The seasons greetings means absolutely nothing. Maybe they just want to just wish you a happy holiday period. People read into this stuff WAY to much.

Are decisions for sure being released on Jan 31? Or could they be released before?
How important is legacy for OOS applicants? I did my MBA at Chapel Hill, which I assume still counts as legacy. I’ve read that in the past, legacy affected OOS acceptance rates, from low teens for non-alumni to around 40% for alumni (massive boost), but I’ve also read that it’s just considered and not a huge factor. Can someone clarify?
I believe the thinking is that it could be the prior Friday, Jan 26, based on previous years.

I think it is high single digit for OOS non legacy and about 25% for legacy. The alumni magazine presents in depth data on incoming classes but I can’t find my wife’s from last year.
For anyone who auditioned for the music scholarship… have you heard if you were chosen to come back for another audition for Kenan Scholarship or if you were chosen from the music department based off your audition for special admissions consideration? I am not sure when and how these notifications are conveyed to the student?

This link provides past alumni review admission statistics. It does not include the publication from last year, so the information is not quite up to date. Looks like the April 2019 issue is the last time they reported applied/admitted/accepted stats for legacy kids. After that, they started reporting enrolled percentages only. Anywhoo, some detailed stuff in these reviews. Happy reading.
