<p>If there are about 700 OOS students enrolled each year for UNC, you would think they would maybe accept like 1100, thinking 700 will accept. However, for Early Action, say they accept 700 students. If 13,000 applied for EA, does that mean there is like a 5% acceptance rate for OOS. Someone help to clear this up if I am doing this wrong.</p>
<p>They admit more than 1100, the yield is not as high as you are projecting.</p>
<p>I will try to find the numbers for you.</p>
<p>Found this so far, will keep looking. This is all students but OOS makes up the great majority of applicants as I recall.</p>
<p>Fall 2009 - Applied - Admitted - Enrolled</p>
<p>23,047 applied
7,342 admitted (32%)
3,960 enrolled (54%)</p>
<p>I hear it’s more like 10-15%…something you’d expect more of a top private school. But yea, a lot of OOS apply to just that… top private schools. </p>
<p>So eadad probably right. Your enrollment prediction is a little high.</p>
<p>OOS admission numbers from 2009 (compiled from UNC admissions blog including comments):</p>
<p>First deadline: 6,517 applied; 1,409 accepted (5,108 rejected or deferred)
(total number deferred IS and OOS 2,429, combined)</p>
<p>Second deadline: approx. 6,500 applied; approx. 1,300 accepted; approx. 60 of those
OOS deferred first-deadline also accepted.
OOS waitlisted 1,287 (includes second deadline and first deadline
“deferrees”) </p>
<p>Last year only a handful of OOS were admitted off the wait list, presumably because they increased the number of OOS acceptances due to the uncertainty about yield in light of the down economy.</p>
<p>Total OOS applications approx. 13,020; total acceptances first and second deadlines 2,760.</p>
<p>Note – Last year accepted 2700+ OOS to get 700 to enroll. For 2008 UNC accepted approx. 2,400 OOS through first and second decisions, but then had to offer spaces to 256 wait-listed OOS students to fill out the class.</p>
