UNC Admissions Information
University of North Carolina at Chapel HillChapel Hill, NC (map)
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, one of the oldest public universities in the country, is known as a “Public Ivy” because of its outstanding research and teaching. Ninety-five percent of incoming freshman have GPAs of 3.75 or higher. In the last five years, Carolina students have won more Rhodes scholarships than any other state university. With its relatively affordable tuition for North Carolina residents, UNC has been nationally ranked as the #1 best value for in-state students.
UNC boasts over 620 registered student organizations, and nearly half of all undergraduate students live in University housing. The campus is well integrated into Chapel Hill, often hailed one of the America’s best college towns; a student can easily go from cheering the Tar Heels at the Dean Dome to grabbing a late-night bite on Franklin Street, an array of small shops, clubs, and eateries.
