<p>That’s so weird, apov22–I know you must be going nuts. Maybe tweet one of the Admins like Melissa and see if she knows what’s up?? Sorry you can’t see your decision :(</p>
<p>apov=apparently they have been having server issues since they released decisions yesterday.they are working on it over the weekend. try sending them a note.</p>
<p>accepted oos d

still undecided</p>
<p>Thanks for all of the help guys! I just tweeted at Melissa so maybe that will help. I did send an email as well. I just want this soo bad and I’m totally going insane right now. Maybe I’ll just have to wait until I get a letter in the mail.</p>
<p>D accepted, still thinking Tulane-more her style…southern white/jewish
great city and more!</p>
<p>apov22–they had to process 15,000 applications and it could be that there was an error in the system where one of the different letters was not loaded into your file. This is not likely to mean anything other than you have to send UNC an e-mail or give them a call on Monday and let them know there is a problem.</p>

<p>jjusc13: I know rejection is upsetting (trust me I know), but with that attitude, maybe you don’t belong at UNC anyway.</p>
<p>Given UNC’s policy of taking so few applicants from OOS, the academic standards of those OOS accepted are far higher, on average, than those accepted IS. Just curious, but how does that affect the dynamic of the university once you are attending? Isn’t there a larger than normal range of academic abilities in a class? UNC seems alone in applying so stringent a policy…</p>
<p>What it means is that the OOS kids are dispropotianetly the smartest kids on campus.</p>
<h1>421 in this thread I posted a link to a UNC document that shows enrolled freshmen distribution of IS vs OOS SAT scores. The OOS IS higher, but not radically. OOS also has a larger low tail, maybe the recruited athletes? My theory is that since there are not many academic scholarships for OOS, many of the highest stat admitted OOS end up at schools which either meet financial need, or offer more merit $. Just a theory, no evidence, but if your EFC is $30,000 and you can get into a top-ranked school which meets need, it will be cheaper for you than UNC. Also, it is the state legislature which caps OOS for UNC. Otherwise it would probably be more like Ann Arbor, which had over 42% of freshmen last year OOS. And paying way more money then OOS cost of UNC. I wonder what that does to my theory, hmmm? All those kids at Michigan, which has not much more scholarships for OOS than UNC, paying well over $50,000/yr . Amazing.</h1>
<p>Worth2cents~
That is an observation others have likewise made and I would agree, with regards to the breadth of abilities of students (though in states are still very strong-just not all as much as out of state). It is also SO much an in state school that out of staters can feel like they don’t belong. It is an interesting dynamic. We had a friend there on full scholarship from out of state and she left after freshman year. She wasn’t a “Carolina girl”.</p>
