<p>im going to be applying next year and would like to know how tough this "only 18% out of state" thing is going to be</p>

<p>Accepted student from NY last year. Although, let me preface this by saying that I of all of the out of staters I have met, I have the lowest stats, so I think I am towards the bottom demographically.</p>
<p>SAT: 1360
ACT: 33
I took 3 SAT IIs but I can't remember my scores... all about 720, I believe.</p>
<p>GPA: 95.3 uw</p>

US Hist, Bio, English Comp, Calc AB: 5
English Lit: 4
Took AP Pysics B but did not take the exam.</p>
<p>ECs: Almost all music related, various honor choirs and conference all-state. I'm pretty sure that they let me in in hopes that I would become a voice major, as I have had professors in the music department approach me about it. Also, I was VP of my class senior year. </p>
<p>That's about it. From what I've seen, OOS admissions truly is about luck, as some people that I think are very qualified fall short...</p>
<p>yes keep in mind that the OOS acceptance rate at UNC hovers in the mid to high teens percentage wise. Extremely extremely tough.</p>
<p>Stuart "Lazy Eye" Scott from ESPN got into UNC-CH OOS, so it can't be all that hard!</p>
<p>Stuart Scott also was an excellent student that went to my high school. By the way, he was in state.</p>
<p>?</p>
<p>i just found this site. so when you have posted over 1000 responses and been doing it for 3 years, does that mean you are still a student or do you work for this site or what.</p>
<p>cause the day my d picks her school, this site is gone from my favorites. just curious as to why kids and parents that have already finished with the process continue to do this?</p>
<p>many have developed friendships, others just like to help others still in the process.....</p>
<p>Yeah I am in the least populated demographic on this site, I just enjoy the quality of conversation, and am somewhat of a college admissions buff.</p>
<p>joev, I am starting to see that a lot kids that really care about the school they end up at have somehow found this site. I would not have except that my d applied to GT and their website is amazing. But I could not find anything like that on UNC's site. GT has more info and more feedback to students than any other school. They actually have a message board that is monitored constantly and you can ask admissions questions all through the process. So much of the stress of this process would be eliminated if all schools put more thought into their sites. UNC does more than most but I was amazed at the feedback that GT gives. We are 90% sure that our D is going there and that was a big factor. Felt that if they wanted her that bad (responded to questions immediately and accepted her before most)
then our experience there would be better with the open communication. And I noticed one kid asked about finding out who your classmates would be. Gt does that and it is a great idea If anyone from UNC actually reads this stuff, you should look at their site and do some of these things. It is great to know that you can talk to your future classmates way before you even meet them and go off to school. As brilliant as UNC students are, you could make their site even more amazing!</p>
