<p>Although 82% of each freshman class must be from North Carolina, the original question could be interpreted to be asking something different. i.e… Of those in-state students who apply each year, what percent of them are accepted? I think that is around 50%.</p>

My mistake. Looks like I quickly read the question, and interpreted it wrong. I think the acceptance rate is around 40% for in state, but I don’t have any real sources to back that up.</p>
