UNC vs. UVA

<p>I've been rejected from UVA, as well as BC. Strangely, I was not rejected to Villanova. So I'm just wondering what do you guys think my chances are at UNC? I know UNC and UVA are very similar in academics/acceptance rates for OOS (I'm from NJ). I know this is a stupid question because "you never know", but I'm just trying to prepare myself for a rejection LOL, seeing as UNC is my #1.</p>

<p>OOS admission to UVA is very, VERY difficult, but UNC might even be more difficult from an OOS perspective due to the NC law that only allows for 18% OOS students at NC schools. So, sorry to be brutal, but it’s not looking so good for you :frowning:
I’m IS and it doesn’t look great for me either :confused:
Something will work out for both of us though, best of luck!!</p>

<p>I agree. UNC OOS acceptance rate is about 15%, lower than UVA OOS acceptance rate, because of the NC state requirement that 82% of the class must be from NC. Makes things much tougher. my son is awaiting his UNC EA decision.</p>

<p>Thanks for the honesty guys! I really do appreciate it. I’m expecting a rejection, but I still am thinking “hey, you never know!” Haha. But you’re right, southerndude, no matter what school we choose I’m sure we’ll make the right decision :)</p>

<p>Good luck anyways!!</p>

<p>If you got into Villanova from out-of-state, I see that as reason to be optimistic about your chances at UNC. Sure, things might not look too good considering the UVA and BC rejections; but you could still certainly get into UNC. Stranger things have happened. Just cross your fingers and hope for the best. Good luck to you!</p>
