How do you find out the % of OOS students admitted?

<p>Somewhat buried in UNC- Chapel Hill admissions FAQ:</p>

<p>“In recent years, approximately 20,000 students have applied for freshmen admission at Carolina. Almost 11,000 of those students were considered out-of-state for admission purposes. Approximately 2,400 those students received admission offers. The remaining 9,000 applicants were North Carolina residents. Usually about 4,500 of those students are admitted. These admission offers are targeted at yielding a freshman class of 3,900.”</p>

<p>So…22% admit rate for out of state, 50% admit rate for in-state! Their common set date should have more specific numbers.</p>

<p>I’ve never seen this information in a Common Data Set.
I don’t believe the CDS has a question on this.</p>

<p>I cite the UVa numbers in every info session I give and [I</a> usually post stats on my blog](<a href=“http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/2008/03/statistics-for-class-of-2012.html]I”>Notes from Peabody: The UVA Application Process: Statistics for the Class of 2012) as soon as they’re available.</p>

<p>

Just a minor adjustment…he law states that 66% of the student body must be from Virginia.</p>

<p>

Yes. Most of our applicants are OOS students. Of the roughly 18,000 applications we had last year, 11,000 were OOS.</p>

<p>Hi Dean J - I miss reading your posts on the U.Va. board since my D who applied there is now in college. It’s very, very cool to have an admissions dean who’s a CC regular. I’m amazed that >60% of U.Va.'s applicants are OOS. With the nationwide applicant pool, the geographic diversity of the student body, and the relatively modest percentage of the budget coming from state appropriations, U.Va. seems as if it’s not really a “state university” - it’s more like a public / private hybrid.</p>
