<p>is it easy to transfer into UNC:Chapel hill? And is it true that when you transfer they look at you as if you were instate?</p>

<p>No and no. It might be easier to transfer in from out of state than to get in out of high school, but it certainly isn't "easy" by any means. Applicants to UNC, especially those who are not from North Carolina, are held to very high standards. What's more, the in state/out of state distinction is legally mandated by the North Carolina state legislature. The laws of North Carolina state that the composition of the student body at UNC must be no less than 82% in state and 18% out of state. The only way to get in state status when you are from out of state is to legally establish residence in North Carolina, which takes a lot of time and effort to do (you have to live here for a set amount of time, get a North Carolina driver's license...basically prove that you're not just doing it to get in state tuition). Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I believe that a straight answer is always the best kind. I'd encourage you to go ahead and apply, but be sure to keep your expectations realistic.</p>

<p>Actually, the instate quota does not apply to transfers...</p>
<p>Transferring from OOS is far easier than being accepted out of high school. I believe last year they took 1200 of 2600 transfer applicants (885 enrolled). I plan on re-applying for admission to the journalism program with my new stats from Brown for Fall 2006. It was the only school I was outright rejected from when I applied as a senior, so I'm hoping second time's a charm.</p>
