<p>Is there a lot of competition and if so are there any stats available?</p>
<p>there is ALOT of competition to become a journalism major. Technically your not admitted into the program until your junior year, but a large amount of out-of-state students apply for it. It is also list in the top 3 or 4 most popular programs.</p>
<p>Thank you hardhead--just one clarification-- by out-of-state students-- are you referring to transfer students junior year or are you referring to the out-of-state students who had a more difficult time getting in their freshman year because it is more competitive for them than in-state due to the cuota of 18% cap. I happen to be out-of-state so at least I know I made the crib this time and might be able to compete with the others when the time comes. The problem is that I wouldn't have that problem at my state school--but of course their communications and journalism is not nearly as good as UNCs. Any other advice on this would be greatly appreciated--because I am trying to decide whether it might not be better strategically and financially to stay in my home state and then transfer with a guarantee that if I didn't get in I would still be ok where i am.</p>
<p>i looked it up and this is an excerpt from the website:</p>
<p>"To qualify for admission from the UNC-Chapel Hill General College or from another department or school, students must have earned an overall quality-point average of 2.9 or better in all course work."</p>
<p>"Students are admitted to the School when they attain junior standing and have completed the requirements of the General College on the Chapel Hill campus"</p>
