<p>Why don't you just look at their website and compare the stats? That's all any of us can do for you anyway.</p>

3

<p>i think you have a great chance =]
those test scores are amazing, and you've got some solid ECs to add. apply early and write really good essays. out of state is a crapshoot, but i seriously believe you're in</p>

4

<p>Isn't UNC expensive for OOS? I can't apply early. I really need financial aid. What are my chances for regular? BTW do you go to UNC?</p>

5

<p>Early action isn't binding, so you should apply early.</p>

<p>Oh and as a fellow NYer (I'm on LI though) yeah, UNC is really expensive for an out of stater. Without any financial aid it's around $32,000 for us, but I'm sure you'll get a lot of help if you say your family is low income.</p>

6

<p>yeah, UNC only offers Early Action, which is NOT binding. Applying early helps a lot. UNC, from what ive heard, is usually pretty good about offering financial aid. i think you'd receive a good amount, along with a possible merit scholarship (but nothing guaranteed of course, OOS merit money is limited).</p>

<p>the total cost of attending unc from out of state is about $32,000, as heathergee said...they increased OOS tuition by almost a couple thousand this past year...wasnt too happy about that...</p>

<p>yes, i'll be attending UNC this fall. same w/heathergee =]</p>

7

<p>Oh its early action. Ok then I probably will apply early. Do you know if MIT is EA or SCEA because I was interested in applying there too?</p>

8

<p>MIT is EA, not SCEA, so yes you can apply to both if you want</p>

9

<p>EA will be a really big boost right. Is it true that only 18% of the school is OOS?</p>

<p>Heathergee since you live in NY can you tell em why UNC is worth all the money instead of Stonybrook or CUNY Honors (Hunter, City).</p>

10

<p>yes its true that only 18% are from OOS, and OOS acceptance RATE is also about 18-20%. applying EA to UNC when you're OOS wont help you a LOT, i think. since many of the qualified OOS students also apply EA.</p>
