The guide is then built from your answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is inside\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe door that decides almost everything is where you live.\u003c\/strong\u003e UNC admitted 16.72% overall. In-state that was 6,605 of 17,846, or 37.0%. Out-of-state it was 4,685 of 48,645, or 9.6%. International was 1,461 of 9,756, or 15.0%. If you are not a North Carolina family, the number you were given is nearly four times the one your child faces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the gap exists, in writing.\u003c\/strong\u003e UNC System Policy 700.1.3 caps out-of-state students at 18% of each entering first-year class, and has since 1986. A university that exceeds it for two consecutive years has its state budget cut. We cite the policy so you can read it yourself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhere your child actually stands.\u003c\/strong\u003e Their numbers against UNC’s published figures: an average high school GPA of 4.47 and, among those who submitted, SAT 1400 to 1530 with a median of 1470. Only 28% submitted an SAT.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat 50 current UNC students did.\u003c\/strong\u003e Interviewed about how they got in, and what an out-of-state application had to look like to survive the cap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe waitlist is unusually real here.\u003c\/strong\u003e For Fall 2025 UNC offered 7,355 waitlist places, 5,258 were accepted, and 2,099 students were admitted from it. That is a genuinely different situation from most schools on this list, and we say how to treat it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat this cannot do\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUNC publishes no Early Action admit rate and no separate rates for its undergraduate colleges, including Kenan-Flagler. We leave those blank rather than guess. The in-state, out-of-state and international rates above are our own arithmetic from the applicant and admit counts UNC published, and are labelled as such in the guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery figure in the guide is printed next to the document it came from, so you can check it yourself. Where UNC Chapel Hill publishes nothing, we say so rather than estimate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lantern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53793299431717,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lanternguides.shop\/products\/unc-chapel-hill-personalized-admissions-guide","provider":"Lantern (小灯)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
