I’m going to say to you, what I said to my boys: The colleges look at tens of thousands of applications every year. They may not be able to define it, but they sense when a student is not going to succeed in their environment. Getting into a college, is like summitting Mt. Everest- It’s less than 40% of the job. Succeeding there, thriving, matters more. If you care about yourself, you’ll want to climb a mountain you can climb up, and down. So try, and trust that where you end up, is where you have the greatest chance of doing well. Life gives you multiple opportunities, admission into a college is just one of them. It’s what you do where you end up, that’ll determine the next opportunity, over and over again. Good Luck!!

No. But neither does it mean you have a better chance of acceptance at UNC. Each application is a separate event with its own probabilities, and one has nothing to do with the others. Colleges are looking for a subjective “fit” and that is not always apparent in stats.

With UVA, you were reviewed as part of the in-state pool. With UNC, you are going to be reviewed as part of the out of state pool. Getting into UNC as an out of state candidate is very difficult, arguably more difficult than getting into UVA out of state since UNC has fewer slots for out of state applicants. (Someone, probably @gandalf78 , did the math recently. Let me see if I can conjure him into this thread.) Decisions are coming soon, so try not to dwell on it too much.

They are two separate decisions, but agree with the above. UNC OOS is a tough admit as the school limits it OOS freshman. Last year UNC admitted 46% of NC applicants and 14% of out-of-state applicants. https://admissions.unc.edu/apply/class-profile-2/

@DevilStick , You’re right. UNC reserves over 80% of its spots for NC residents. UVA, I think is about two-thirds, if I remember what was said on the information tour?
