<p>I know that UNC is very hard to get into OOS. However they also, as a University, want a diverse group. I assume that most of the OOS applicants are from states like South Carolina, Alabama, and other southern states that perhaps don't have a school of UNC's caliber. My question is: Will the OOS thing affect me, an applicant from Washington state, as much as it would affect someone from another southern state? Or will they like that I'm from an area where they don't get a lot of applicants?</p>
<p>yeah u prob have a way better chance, im from jersey it suks</p>
<p>chs</p>
<p>Actually the student body has far more OOS students from the northeast and mid Atlantic (DC) areas than from the deep south because most southerners don't see UNC as a southern school and it is also far more liberal than the states they come from.</p>
<p>My son graduated in May and had several good friends from Seattle and a few more from northern California and one from Idaho so you will certainly not be disadvantaged and may in fact find some advantage from a regional diversity perspective.</p>
