<p>Should I even try?</p>

2

<p>also I’m applying EA</p>

3

<p>Are you a senior? Can’t hurt to try - If you could get a 2100 you have the stats to get in but it is a lottery school for all oos students!</p>

4

<p>No, I’m a junior. And yeah which stinks because there are a lot of OOS students who are well qualified who don’t get in. Any idea why universities like UNC and UVA favor in-state over out of state?</p>

5

<p>^ Because in state students’ families pay taxes that support the Universities. Therefore, first dibs.</p>

6

<p>any more opinions?</p>

7

<p>Schools like UVA and Chapel Hill have quotas of what percentage of their classes must be in-state</p>

8

<p>So any more thoughts on my chances?</p>

9

<p>I think UVA is more “friendly” than UNC to OOS students. And it is ranked higher, too.</p>

10

<p>^ As an OSS I can assure you that UNC students here are very welcoming and friendly. There is absolutely nothing to worry about. I was blown away by how friendly people are here! It’s one of things I love most about this school.</p>

11

<p>If you are suggesting that UVA is an easier admission for OSS, I would agree. UNC is tough and only getting tougher</p>

12

<p>That’s what I meant–that it was a little easier for OOS to get into UVA than UNC–not that UNC wasn’t really friendly! LOL Mine is applying to both, but we live in VA and know UNC is a longshot, even with her credentials. Neighbor’s child did not get in and both her parents graduated from Chapel Hill, as did numerous aunts and uncles, parents have always donated to Chapel Hill and while I don’t know the student’s exact grades I know she was very bright and did end up pre-med at Va Tech. Was a real disappointment to their family, though, when she didn’t get in</p>
