<p>@13transfer: Perhaps you should contact the UNC admissions office and explain your situation. It seems analogous to someone on a waitlist. You have no knowledge (or guarantee) of being accepted at a school you would prefer to attend over UNC at the time of the May 1st deadline. If legit, they may even grant you an extension. The key is not to lie, not to enroll in two schools simultaneously, not to screw over the people on the wait list and to be open and communicative to the schools involved. They need to be allowed to build their incoming class in a timely manner and effectively utilize their wait list. </p>
