The data I have, and it’s a small sample because not a lot of kids apply to UNC from local schools but UNC had a lower acceptance rate than MIT and one year, took zero kids from a hs I’m familiar with. This was an especially strong year for that hs, 6 or 7 into MIT, 4 into Cal Tech, but zero for UNC?

…
there is no rational explanation for no one getting into UNC that year except for the OOS quota. Unless you think those kids getting into MIT, Cal Tech, Stanford Harvard, UCB were flukes. And that’s just stem, the non-stem got into Chicago, Georgetown, NU, Brown etc.

Similar trend for our HS and near by HSs. Certainly take all of these into account for S23. UNC won’t be on his list for sure. There is no point and not worth the effort.
