Colleges Tighten Admissions Across North Carolina
North Carolina colleges are increasingly selective as enrollments grow and space narrows. Duke reports about 700 of 2,400 male applicants admitted and roughly 300 of 1,600 female applicants. Entrance requirements center on grades class rank and recommendations with some schools urging aptitude tests. Costs range from about 913 to 1,450 dollars for nine months, with Duke charging tuition around 450 while UNC in-state tuition sits at 150. The Consolidated University of North Carolina will require entrance exams to prioritize the most talented students when space is limited.
