Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: I hate to think its because I’m a white female from VA but that what every one keeps telling me, maybe it was because I applied undecided? I’m really upset because UNC was one of my top choices, and to be quite honest I was either expecting an accept or deny I don’t really know how to deal with this deferral process.
