<p>is it true that being a minority helps so much getting into unc, and that unc has the highest minority acceptance rate in the nation?</p>
<p>IDK but being in-state sure does</p>
<p>hmm i havent heard that..where did you hear this?</p>
<p>but unc does have a strong commitment to diversity and they emphasize it a lot</p>
<p>The Autumn</a> 2006 Preview from the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education has a table that shows the application rates and class makeups of the USNWR top schools. On that table, UNC has the highest ranking for "Black % of First-Year Class" (12.3%), while University of Chicago has the highest "Black Acceptance Rate" (55.3%). While the Black Acceptance Rate at UNC is just below the overall acceptance rate (33.3% versus 34.1%), there is a very high yield (57.1%).</p>
