For the application year 2023, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reported an Early Action acceptance rate of 23%, with 38,502 applicants and 8,879 accepted. Unfortunately, data for other recent years, including 2024 and several prior years, is currently unavailable. Nonetheless, the 23% acceptance rate reflects a competitive landscape for early applicants at UNC, suggesting that more students are applying early in hopes of securing a spot.
