<p>I really really want to go to University of North Carolina at Wilmington.</p>
<p>I hear they're more likely to accept you if you're out of state...just to increase diversity.</p>
<p>It says on collegeboard/etc that the average GPA is 3.7...which is way over my level. But my brother applied to another UNC (virtually the same standards) with a 3.2 GPA and 1880 SATs and got in...I have a 3.1 and 1800.</p>
<p>So..I'm a little apprehensive. It's definitely a reach school, but does the fact that I'm all the way from New Jersey help?</p>
<p>I think you have a decent shot. Your SATs appear to be above the midpoint even tho your GPA is below. </p>
<p>I think I read somewhere on CC that NC public U's must be a least XX% in-state admits. So that kinda puts the odds against you. But, don't despair. In this economy fewer people are likely to attend OOS publics. That might increase your chances. </p>
<p>Have you considered Coastal Carolina near Myrtle Beach? My niece attends there and is very happy. It seems to have some of the same culture as UNC-W.</p>
<p>I wanted to..It says the admissions were due something like, August 15th. It doesn't make sense. Someone got their acceptance letter, like, a week ago, when most apps were being sent out. It's weird.</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing. Are there some states that are more likely to accept students from out of state. Also, how do you find out the academic rep of an out of state school?</p>
<p>Recheck Coastal Carolina. That Aug 15 deadline was probably for the Spring semester. </p>
<p>I know Niece didn't even DISCOVER CCU until a college fair in October of her senior year. Her apps went in on the usual timeline.</p>
