<p>UNC is a reach for anyone if OOS; it’s about the same as Duke.</p>

6

<p>UNC, as a public institution would understandably favor instate applicants over out of state applicants. But why would Duke be harder for out of state? I thought private institutions look at applications in the same light regardless of state of residence. After all, 89% of Duke students are out of state.</p>

7

<p>Duke is not harder for OOS, I think the meaning is that UNC OOS is as hard (selectivity wise) as getting into Duke. Duke has about a 5% admission rate.
Your credentials are good, however, nobody has a guarantee at any school, especially those with high selectivity and low admission rates. You have a chance for UNC, but it is a chance school for anybody.</p>

8

<p>That’s more or less what I meant: getting into UNC as an OOS os just as hard as Duke would be for anyone.</p>

<p>Write a good essay and you’ll have a better chance</p>
