<p>Chances?</p>
<p>good chance</p>
<p>I think you have a pretty decent shot. OOS admissions is very tough, and often unpredictable simply because there are so many applicants and so few slots.</p>
<p>However-- OOS is the only time that legacy is taken into account and you have that in your favor. Good luck!</p>
<p>I am still unsure of how much oos legacy affects admissions. It isn't like UVA oos legacy but it does help at least a little! Does anyone know?</p>
<p>my friend was an out of state legacy (a parent went there for med school) and didn't get in as a freshman. he had a 33 on his ACT, 3 varsity sports, football captain, 3.7 weighted gpa (4.0 max), lots of honors/ap classes, very involved, great reccs. he was deferred and then rejected. one thing to note is that we suspect UNC doesn't like my high school because the few people they have accepted over the years have never attended. </p>
<p>all of the statistics that you read about acceptance rates/average are skewed because UNC requires 82% of each freshman class to be made of in-state students. the standards are much much higher for out of state students.</p>
<p>BUT on the bright side, UNC does not take residency status into account if you are a transfer applicant. my friend applied after his freshman year at university of michigan, and got in, and is looking forward to attending UNC this fall. so if you are really determined, there is some hope.</p>
<p>based on my friend's experience, i would say to not count on getting in as a freshman. of course, you should certainly cross your fingers and still apply, and if you get in that will be great. best of luck!</p>
<p>OOS legacy only counts if a parent went there for undergrad...but i think as an oos legacy the competition is similar to instate (heck they may be counted as instate students...ik some full scholarship athletes are).</p>
<p>I'd say good, very similar to what I had 5 years ago when I was OOS but I was not a legacy (I got in/attended). There are so many people from OOS applying with those same credentials. You have to differentiate yourself by your essays though, as I think that is key with so many of the similar looking apps. Try to find something special or unique that you did and pertain it to your life - how it made you better in some way and then how that can add to UNCs campus. </p>
<p>However, they do take into account random stuff like how many accepts come from your high school, how people from your high school do at UNC, etc. so there's a lot of variations, but just work hard the rest of the way and separate yourself.</p>
