General Comments: BEYOND EXCITED FOR UNC!! Congrats to all who got accepted! If you weren’t, just remember you put in hard work these past 4 years and you will be successful no matter where you go . For future applicants, remember grades aren’t everything. It is 100% to have flaws such as getting B’s.
