<p>How can an applicant increase his or her chances of getting in UNC-chapel hill? For ex, In-state vs. out of state, minority status, gender... and other factors you would like to comment on also. Thank You in advance.</p>
<p>well from what i've seen, if you are in-state, your chances are better. i'm not totally positive, but i think most public universities accept more in-state students and i just think that they have a better chance.</p>
<p>Yeah, from everything I've seen its like 50 times easier to get into UNC if you're from North Carolina. Thats true for about every state school, except WVU ( its 51% In State, 49% Out of State).</p>
<p>Well, it is easier for an in-state (vs out of state) simply because UNC accepts 82% in-state; however, Chapel Hill, as the flagship university, is a much more difficult acceptance in-state than the other schools in the UNC system, and it is getting more selective every year for the in-state applicants.</p>
<p>Just to clarify to the original poster what Jack said, UNC's freshman class is 82% people from NC (UNC doesn't accept 82% of NC applicants). I know that is what Jack meant, but when I read it, it sounded like the second way so I just wanted to clarify : )</p>
<p>Oops...sorry. Yes, you're correct, Soccergirl. That's what I meant. Thanks for clarifying!</p>
<p>thanks so much u guys. This really does help me a lot.</p>
