<p>Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on how much financial aid UNC typically gives out to out-of-state transfer students with
3.9 or higher college GPA
3.86 weighted high school GPA
30 composite score on ACT</p>
<p>For transfers, the college record would be the more significant record…not the HS record.</p>
<p>There is a Net Price Calculator on the UNC-CH website. It won’t be 100% accurate for transfer students but it should give you a ballpark.</p>
<p>Do you plan to transfer there after the first semester, or after the 2014-2015 school year has ended? Their website says they admit about 800 transfer students a year…not a very large number. </p>
<p>“Financial aid” as that term is typically understood is based on financial need. What you are apparently asking about is merit aid or academic scholarships. If you really want to know about financial aid in this situation, you should provide details about the financial situation of the parent(s) and student.</p>
<p>There is no “typical”. aid isn’t “typical”. Aid is based on the individual. </p>
<p>UNC may look at your parents financial info and say, “you get nothing.” or, they may look at your family’s income and say, “He’s from a poor family, we’ll give him lots of aid.”</p>
<p>UNC will not likely care what your HS record is. They will admit you based on your college record. </p>
<p>Does anyone know how hard it is to get in from OOS.</p>
<p>BTW…last spring, UNC claimed that they couldn’t meet need for OOS students. I don’t know if that was for only transfers or if there were any incoming frosh that were affected.</p>
<p>I looked online and couldn’t find any source that said that UNC-CH had reduced their promise of meeting 100% of the proven financial need of all US students. However, the state’s very generous past funding of UNC-CH has been slashed, so it is possible that aid could be reduced in future years. </p>
<p>At UVa, when financial aid funding got tighter, they increased their loan and work study expectations. </p>
<p>In case you are eligible for scholarships see this page: <a href=“Afford - Undergraduate Admissions”>http://admissions.unc.edu/afford/scholarships/</a></p>
<p>UNC has a procedure for out of state schools to be able to apply as an official Moorehead - Cain nominating school. This scholarship is sort-of also available to kids who apply EA, but the date is Oct. 15. Your school counselor needs to apply to be a nominating school the winter before you are a senior, so too late for that as well. But for any Juniors, class of 2016, who might be interested in going to UNC and are not in-state, see if you can get your counselor moving to do the work of applying as a nominating school. The process did not seem onerous when I read the description a few weeks ago.</p>
<p>sorry, missed the transfer student portion.</p>
<p>OOS transfers actually have a significantly higher admission rate to UNC than OOS applicants straight out of HS.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t expect fin aid to be all that great, though.</p>
