<p>UNC is the school at which it will hurt you the most; they have strict regulation for the percentage of students who must be in-state (I think it’s 83%), thus making competition for those OOS spots incredibly tough. If you’re not an athlete, you need really impressive stats.</p>
<p>Michigan should be quite a bit easier than UNC, but it’s still a great school that’s tough to get into. They have about 30% OOS students, so it’s not going to hurt you too much; if you have the grades and scores they’re looking for, you have a good chance.</p>
<p>BU and BC are private schools, which means your residency doesn’t matter. (If you’re from a state from which they do not receive many applicants, being OOS can actually help, but unfortunately New Jersey is not one of those states.)</p>
<p>I’m from New Jersey, too, and I’m applying to all OOS publics. People always ask me why I want to come all the way to their school, and I tell them the alternative is going to Rutgers. 
I’ve heard great things about TCNJ though, if you want to consider staying in state.</p>
