<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>Anybody???</p>

<p>yes. yes you will</p>

<p>/if you live in any county other than Mecklenburg, most likely. If your from Meck, your competitive, which is about as good as it can be. Carolina does county based affirmative action i.e. they have quotas for how many kids get in per county. Number wise Meck has the most admitted, but in comparison to the total number that apply the percentage is ridiculously low. Lucky for me I live in a county with a relatively low University matriculation rate :wink: (hopefully you do to!)</p>

<p>I don’t buy that UNC has hard and fast quotas for certain counties or demographics. However, UNC DOES want to create an ethnically and geographically diverse class. Almost all schools do. This may mean taking a few more kids from X area where there aren’t as many applicants and not as many from Y area where there will always be 12389018092184309821390812309 applicants, but I highly doubt there is some formula that says “only 500 students from mecklenburg county may be accepted, only 200 from forsyth county, and 50 from scotland county, et cetera”</p>

<p>I’m from Wake, which is probably the second most competitive after Mecklenburg, I would think. My school is also among the most competitive in the county though, and other students from there have done well at UNC. By the way, I’m in the top 5%, if that gives any perspective. Thanks for all the info guys!</p>

<p>^^being in the top 5% of your wake county high school should get you in.</p>
