What's up with UNC Chapel Hill's regular decision acceptance rate? I've seen various numbers thrown around, but does anybody know a more accurate number? Thanks!
Hey there! UNC Chapel Hill's acceptance rate can indeed vary from year to year due to fluctuations in the number of applicants and the strength of the applicant pool. While I can't provide an exact number for this current cycle, I can tell you that in recent years, the overall acceptance rate for UNC Chapel Hill has hovered around 22-24%. However, keep in mind that the regular decision acceptance rate tends to be slightly lower than the overall acceptance rate, as Early Action applicants often have higher acceptance rates by showing strong interest in the school.
For the most up-to-date and specific information regarding acceptance rates, it's a good idea to check UNC Chapel Hill's Common Data Set. This document will be published annually and will give you insight into admission statistics for a given year. You can search for it on the UNC Chapel Hill website or look for university-specific data by doing a quick web search for "UNC Chapel Hill Common Data Set."
Good luck, and I hope this information helps!
