<p>If a student moves to North Carolina with his parents at least a year before college and goes to a North Carolina high school, do the parents have to be employed in North Carolina? If my husband works from home but gets paid from another state (actually it's a foreign company but we're Americans) would there be a problem? </p>
<p>Is it relatively "easy" to get into UNC if you're a state resident?</p>
<p>Under North Carolina General Statute Chapter 116.143.1, to qualify for in-state tuition an applicant (legal resident) must demonstrate a preponderance of evidence:</p>
<pre><code>* that he/she established and maintained a domicile in North Carolina at least twelve months before the first day of classes,
<p>A legal resident is a person who qualifies as a domiciliary of North Carolina.</p>
<p>A domicile is a person’s permanent home for legal purposes. A domicile is not a temporary residence established for attending the University after which you intend to depart from the state. A person can have only one domicile, but numerous residences.</p>
<p>Getting into UNC is easier if you’re instate but you pretty much have to be top 10% and you may have a problem with GPA and transferring that may screw you. The average GPA is 4.44 and the average SAT score is 1940.</p>
<p>Average GPA is 4.44 out of what scale? That seems almost impossible. The average GPA and SATs are just in-state or both?</p>
<p>A in reg class = 4.0 / A in Honors class = 5.0 / A in AP class = 6.0 (but a lot of NC HS require you take Reg class before Honors, then Honors class before taking AP class, in the same subject. Depends on the county. So everything doesn’t quite make common sense). That said Just take the hardest classes you can and it all works out. </p>
<p>I would guess that the GPA / SAT is for all students but remember that 80% of students are in state students and that average includes “in-state and out of state student athletes”, so on average most need to be very good and OOS need to be the very top students.</p>
