Hi all! I'm an out-of-state student hoping to apply to UNC Chapel Hill. I've heard it's pretty competitive for out-of-state applicants. Can anyone tell me what the acceptance rate is for us? Thanks!
Hi there! You're correct that UNC Chapel Hill can be more competitive for out-of-state applicants. While the overall acceptance rate for UNC Chapel Hill is around 16.8%, the acceptance rate for out-of-state students is significantly lower, at approximately 8.2%. North Carolina state law mandates that at least 75% of each incoming class must be filled with in-state students, which contributes to the disparity in acceptance rates between in-state and out-of-state applicants. That being said, don't let these numbers discourage you. It's still important to put forth your best effort in your application and showcase your unique qualities to increase your chances of being accepted. Best of luck with your application!
