Strengths: GPA, strong ACT score (for in-state), I think personally my essays are really good, I was able to demonstrate my passion for music and I think that’s what put me over the top if my scores/essays hadn’t yet.
Weaknesses: Not a whole lot of AP classes because block schedule at my school made me take overall less courses as well as presenting conflicts between certain AP classes that I could only take as an upperclassmen due to prerequisites. However, my senior year did not have any conflicts because I now have all of my prerequisites so all of my classes are AP classes (except for psychology).
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: GPA, test scores, essays, demonstrated passion for music.
General Comments: It has been so much fun interacting with everybody on this forum. Witnessing people freaking out as much as me was relieving and provided some comfort in the uncertain times. It is amazing to see some of the people I’ve seen posting since October finally getting their dreams realized. It’s also great to see the attitude of those who did not get in, as they are all brilliant students as well who will strive in any setting. I look forward to trying to aid next year’s class through this process now that I have a bit of understanding on it and I hope I can be active in admissions throughout my time at UNC. THANK YOU EVERYBODY!
