How hard is it to get in OOS?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill

<p>Yeah, how am I lookin'? I applied EA and hear OOS acceptance rates are usually in the like 15-19%.</p>

<p>ACT- C-32
E-32
M-36
R-33
S-27 (Ughh...)</p>

<p>SAT I- 660 Reading 750 Math 710 Writing (2120 Overall)</p>

<p>I have a 3.98 or 3.99 (UW) and took 4 AP classes my junior year and have 3 this year, and have taken honors classes for every other class.
Class Treasurer Junior and Senior Year
President and Founder of Young Democrats (Junior and Senior Year)
Freshman/JV Baseball (2 years), Freshman Cross-Country, Freshman/JV Basketball (2 years)
Varsity Soccer Senior Year
Small stuff like debate and NHS and whatnot.</p>

<p>And I coached 6th grade basketball and we got 2nd out of 26 teams in the City tournament (Junior Year) and am currently coaching 5th grade team.</p>

<p>And I wrote good essays/got good recommendations I believe.</p>

<p>I think I've got at least a shot, right?</p>

<p>Also, what I'm really worried about is if I don't get into Carolina do I stand a chance at Brown, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, or Stanford? <---Also applied to these.</p>

<p>When it comes to the OOS student, UNC is competitive as Vanderbilt and Northwestern</p>

<p>You and I have similar stats and I got into both UNC OOS and Vanderbilt. I didn't apply to the other 3 but I think you can get into Northwestern, have a shot at Brown and honestly, Stanford seems to be a bit out of reach. Nothing against you, but the only people I know that got in there did something ridiculous.</p>

4

<p>Yeah, I'm not expecting anything from Stanford. I wrote great essays, but I understand that Stanford is well, Stanford, and they reject kids with 2400 like it's their job.</p>

<p>But if I didn't get in here, you think it'd even be possible to get into those other schools. I mean it'd seem pretty improbable.</p>

5

<p>are you male or female? belive it or not, it makes a difference</p>

6

<p>Male. (I know carolina is like 60% female)</p>

7

<p>you should have a decent chance but who knows. i hate to sound like a broken record but you never know with UNC</p>

8

<p>slight reach to match at unc, vandy, nw</p>

<p>reach at brown</p>

<p>major reach at stan</p>

9

<p>slight reach to match at unc, vandy, nw</p>

<p>reach at brown</p>

<p>major reach at stanford</p>

10

<p>Gender does not matter for UNC since their admissions are gender blind. You don't think they made the 60/40 ratio on purpose do ya? ;)</p>

<p>I think you'll be ok to get into one of those schools, but I hope you have some backups just in case.</p>

11

<p>My school (in Texas) has sent quite a few people to UNC over the past few years. We have a program called Naviance that basically shows you your chances at getting into any college.</p>

<p>Anyway, for UNC the average SAT score accepted was 2121 and average ACT score accepted was 31.</p>

<p>So you probably have a pretty good chance.</p>

12

<p>What I'd give to have your ACT math score...I'd say it depends on your essays.</p>

13

<p>woah, weird... we applied to like the same schools. I applied to Vandy, UNC-CH, Stanford, and Northwestern too! Our profiles are even similar, except I have better test scores and you have better extracurriculars (way better... <em>sweatdrop</em>). And I'm a chick.</p>

<p>This should be interesting. I'm expecting rejections from Stanford and NW, and I think I have a 50/50 shot at the other two.</p>

<p>Luck to you!</p>

14

<p>I think you'll gain admission. Let us know!</p>

15

<p>I got in RD, OOS, last year with your same test scores (Only ACT) and GPA.</p>

16

<p>What if I have same stats/scores but am legacy?</p>
