<p>Is it true that it is a lot harder to get into UNC if you are out of state, or is it a myth?</p>
<p>North Carolina law requires that 80% (something like that, not too sure of the exact number) of incoming freshman for UNCCH be North Carolina residents. So seeing that only 20% of the freshman class is OOS, yes it is much harder to gain admission as an out of state student.</p>
<p>Yeah, it is very difficult to get into UNC as an OOSer. I think the OOS acceptance rate hovers around 20% or something like that.</p>
<p>By state law, the OOS enrollment must be 18% which makes the bar for OOS acceptance quite high.</p>
<p>Also factor in that a significantly higher percentage of OOSers are recruited athletes.</p>
<p>but bc of the loophole, recruited athletes are counted as instate, so there is still 18% open for OOS students</p>
<p>^
Only athletes who receive full scholarships (full tuition, room and board) are considered as in-state under the “loophole” you refer to. Many out-of-state recruited athletes only receive partial scholarships and these remain out-of-state for classification purposes.</p>
<p>but students on full scholarships are also considered instate</p>
<p>That is correct. However, OOS students on academic full scholarships have little impact on the percentages as the number of OOS students awarded full scholarships is relatively small.</p>
<p>thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it</p>
<p>How many OOS full academic scholarships are awarded? How many OOS full athletic? Just curious…</p>
<p>Based on news releases, approximately 25 OOS students are awarded full scholarships by the university each year. These do not include the Robertson and Morehead-Cain scholarships, which are separately administered. This year approximately 40 OOS students were awarded scholarships by these programs (exclusive of international students). I am not aware of any way to determine the number of full scholarships awarded to OOS athletes.</p>
<p>are there any merit scholarships for OOS students besides the full rides and the national merit scholarships?</p>
