HOW I GOT INTO UNC | The Truth About Going Here

[@MorganYatesVids]

Where my prospective Tar Heels at?!?!? Comment where you all are applying!! :)

[@Jmp599]

I'm applying to really small schools that nobody's really heard of, but my first choice is Goucher College in Baltimore, MD :)

[@liz-nk8cj]

I applied early action for UNC, It is my dream school! I've also applied to App State and Western Carolina (which I've already been accepted to :) )

[@stephanieross2126]

Morgan Yates Idk yet it's too confusing. I hope to apply to the University of Hartford bc I heard their music program is great but u have to audition and I feel like I'm not that great at what I do but hopefully I get better before next year. ALSO.. MONEY It's kind of expensive and I still don't have a job and I still need to find more scholarships and financial aid.

[@lexiduncan4512]

[@lindaj97]

Morgan Yates currently in community college but I spend most of my time at UNC haha I plan on applying *possibly* next spring.

[@BlondeBeautyxo24]

I got rejected from unc, but if I didn't, I would of never truly considered going to uncw, which now going there I came easily say is the perfect school for me!

[@MorganYatesVids]

I'm so glad!!

[@MorganYatesVids]

I'm so glad!!

[@Yemmers]

I also got rejected from UNC and ended up going to a state school, UMD and I'm so glad I did

[@calliepearl7193]

[@brandyhuynh3943]

This blows my mind!! I've been watching some of your KZbin videos for the longest time now but didn't know you attend UNC!! I'm actually a first-year here at UNC! :)

[@missxgomezz]

What about international students? Are there many of them in UNC and how are they accepted? :)

[@KaylynKia]

I go to UNC almost every weekend to visit friends, I love that school :)

[@live2danceallie]

I'm just a junior in hs (out of state) but UNC has been one of my dream schools for the longest time and this video just helped and pushed that dream even further!! Thank you!!

[@lesmisfan12]

You're 100% right about seeing friends even though it's such a large campus. It's impossible for me to go into the Rams Head Starbucks without seeing 5 people I know, lol. You've hit a bunch of nails on the head about going here :) I was an orientation leader this summer and now I'm an RA so I get to hear everyone's stories of why they came to UNC and it's just so amazing being able to share our love of this place with others!

[@hannahluthi7060]

I was actually planning on applying to UNC and knew it would be one of my top choices in the end but they are just so not generous with OOS students. :( I am glad you love it though!! This video was great

[@certainzee]

I absolutely love Carolina! I went to UNC and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Truly felt blessed that I got to go there.

[@gr154]

[@karissaarnold8334]

OH MY GOSH, MORGAN! I JUST REALIZED THAT YOUR COLLEGE IS ONLY AN HOUR AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE! THAT IS SO AWESOME!!! AHHHHHH

[@31stmakeupavenue]

Is it completely necessary to take tons of AP classes? I still am planning to take AP classes but is it better to get better grades in less AP classes or have okay grades and take more AP classes? Not sure if this makes sense haha

[@dilemmaemmadingdong]

V CR rigor is definitely important!!! balance ap classes and regular classes! only take ap's you think you will succeed in or are interested in :)

[@31stmakeupavenue]

Thank you! That's what I was planning to do

[@emkeiko]

V CR UNC Chapel hill usually looks for 6-8 APs it's definitely better to take APs but make sure you can handle the amount you plan on taking

[@makoragreene579]

viktoria they want you to get As in AP classes

[@91112karla]

viktoria I got in and I took 2 Ap classes... depends on who you are as a whole tbh

[@TechCaribou]

I second that comment about "never hearing someone say they didn't like it here." Really great video... the quality was on point 👌

[@st2023-q7n]

lololol the bit about Governor's School! I didn't realize you went to it! I went toooooo :) love this!

[@danielabarron4623]

UNC Chapel Hill is a good school academically. My sister (and other people that I know went there/go there). My sister (and my brother and I) got accepted. All three of us are DACA recipients meaning we came here from another county as young children. Even though my brother and I got in we didn’t attend. It was just too expensive... and since we are DACA recipients we dont really have any chance of financial aid AND scholarships (a lot require you to be us resident/citizen). My sister went for one year and she didn’t like it. It IS a good school academically but some students (mainly undergrad) are really “white” (not trying to be racist). But even Hispanic girls and Asian girls and Indian girls have a “snoby-ish” and “pretentious” attitude. I would go and visit several times because I really wanted to attend but I always got that vibe from a lot of people. Aside from the people.. I’ve heard that a lot of classes are difficult... And I guess it makes sense since they are weedout corses. I would recommend taking those weedout corses at a community college and then transferring. If you do good at a community college in NC and take good courses for your major it is a bit easier to get into UNC Chapel Hill as a transfer than as a first year student. All three of us had to apply (and pay) as out of state students... so it was harder for us to get accepted than an in state student. But we were able to do good in school since we attended an Early College High School. I’m not trying to bash so much in the school (because it’s quite a recognized institution) but its not for everyone. A lot of universities are good too.

[@skyelywo]

I just got accepted!!! Woo! I am so grateful for this video for helping me!

[@OceanaGottaReadEmAll]

Your hair looks so pretty!

[@annapack8112]

LOVE this video! You are so wise

[@AlissaandJager]

How to get in: be from North Carolina I'm from PA and Chapel Hill was my top choice but I had basically no chance at getting in because I was out of state even though my application was extremely competitive :(

[@blurryface8993]

Alissa and Jager well their average out of state acceptance rate is 18% and their average acceptance rate overall is 25%. It's pretty hard to get into no matter where you're from

[@katrinab494]

I think their transfer acceptance rate is more like 33% though! I was a very average student in high school, but did really well in community college. I'm a senior at UNC now, from in-state but I also have lots of out-of-state friends who transferred in as well.

[@katrinab494]

S A it was around 3.75 I believe

[@camilaflores8262]

Katrina Bolinder did you have any extracurriculars?

[@katrinab494]

In high school, not really. In community college I was an executive officer of our honor society, I volunteered a couple places, and had a part time job.

[@katieruth7146]

I go to UNC and I love it more than anything here!!!

[@marissab4679]

So happy we won the ACC Championship this year !

[@cadyrobison7248]

What did you go to gov school for? I went this summer!

[@courtneyolson4763]

I love unc but live out of state what are my chances

[@hayleehernandez2007]

Courtney T you have just a good of chance to get in as someone in state. But the cost is a lot more

[@haloskaterkid]

Haylee Hernandez 😂😂😂??? The difference in acceptance rate for instate and oos is huge

[@SusanLiu112k]

For a NC resident, as long as you are an above average student, you have a chance. For out of state students, you should have a chance if you are a qualified candidate for the Ivies. My friend was third in her class of 500+ and had a 1570, won a bunch of awards and was waitlisted by UNC.

[@91112karla]

I go to UCF, the second biggest school in the united states. over 60,000 students. You 100% never notice how large a school is. It's hard to choose a school, you kinda just end up there in my opinion. I thought USFSP was going to be it for me, Small, artsy, cute. It wasn't. I ended up at UCF because I cried in the car after USFSP orientation and my mom realized for me that it simply wasn't fitting my personality and called UCF where I had also been accepted. I went to UCFs orientation terrified college simply wasn't for me and I LOVED it here. Visit as much as you can before you choose but the best advice I got was from my dad. He called me up when I got home from orientation and made me choose 3 top things I wanted from a school. Then he made me put them in order of most to least important. He didn't judge me for my answers no matter how stupid they may have seemed to him and that allowed me to be fully honest with myself. He then helped me decide which school closer fit the things I wanted. I wanted good housing, USFSP was going to charge me like 3000 a semester to share a living space with 7 other people and a room with 3, I was an only child that never shared a room. UCF had private rooms for 3440 a semester, my roommates fight here sometimes, I can only Imagine if we all sleep in the same room and there were 4 other girls in the space. For me that was important, to others that was stupid. Find what you need and you will end up around people who felt the same.

I live in Michigan and I'm think of going to unc! By the time I graduate I will have a year worth of college credits so I'll only have to go three years and my mom may get a job transfer to Raleigh so after a year I'd be paying in state tuition. I know I can get in I just need to apply to scholarships sometime soon.

I am NOT going into a science field major, and would happily like to take other science courses besides Physics, but since I have the option, should I do take it? Will it look better to take it?
