<p>UNC-CH: High reach (OOS journalism hopefuls at UNC-CH should normally be competitive enough for NWU Medill if they want anything to do with UNC-CH)</p>
<p>I think you have a better chance at Syracuse Newhouse or UMO…</p>
<p>Want to make UNC-CH reachable? Aim for 31+/2100+</p>
<p>In-staters are the ones who make it possible for UNC-CH to have such low average ACT scores. </p>
<p>82%+ of the freshman class at UNC-CH are NC residents (by state law actually). Out-of-staters, being limited to, at most, 18% of the seats altogether, are much, MUCH more competitive. When dealing with OOS applicants at UNC-CH, I normally check against Duke’s standards… but, since Duke does not offer journalism, I took the next most selective school that offered it as a reference. Would have said match if you were a NC resident.</p>
<p>My D was rejected OOS in 2013 with just as many extra curriculars - very similiar if not a more honors based class list and a 4.0 unweighted and a 34 ACT. I am not sure who gets in OOS but she didn’t. She actually decided that she didn’t want to go before she got the rejection because of the low OOS population.</p>
