<p>does unc ea defer anyone or is just accept or reject?</p>

<p>Sorry haclyon, OOS is rough.</p>
<p>Deferred OOS, 2250 SAT 8 APs 98/100 average</p>
<p>D received denial letter today. SAT 1960, 4.5 W-GPA, , Top 10% of class. In state.</p>
<p>the message below is from today’s UNC admissions blog. And I actually agree. no letter yesterday. no letter today. (and I live 40 miles from Chapel hill.) and no decisions online. And no communication from admissions people today. Nothing. Dead silence. UNC is not my first choice, but still… </p>
<p>------------------------------from unc admiss blog</p>
<p>“UNC has made an interesting marketing blunder in all of this. Some applicants got letters and some did not yet—making those who didn’t feel 2nd class and unwanted. Any decision now might be good news, but very anti-climatic. UNC missed a major opportunity—all applicants getting their decisions together (online) would have made a very special celebration—now, the decison many families have waited on has turned into a miserable waiting game and has made the admissions staff look inept and foolish. NCSU had MORE early applicants and made its deadline in Dec. Duke had 31,000+ applications for Early decision and let ED kids know Jan 2. UNC had 13,000 apps (down this year) and NEVER could provide a decision date. REally had to re-read them that many times? Ask State and Duke how its done if it is that big of a problem. And snail mail? How quaint…and not the technological image UNC should be presenting. Your system might crash? Update it or here again, ask State or Duke or others how to do this right. What a stange mess.”</p>

<p>Comments: Hooray! Really hoping for a scholarship day invite. :)</p>
<p>Online decisions are up…unfortunately.</p>
<p>Rejected, out of state.
2160 SAT, slightly low GPA, but improvement over time, and 13 AP’s.
Should have been great rec’s, decent ec’s, two jobs.
white female, also a big segment.</p>
<p>I’m not devastated because it wasn’t my first choice, and I think there’s a verrrrry large gap between their in-state admissions. First rejection though, still hurts. Was expecting a deferral I guess.</p>
<p>Great school though, congrats to everyone admitted!</p>
<p>OOS, 34 ACT, 3.67 unweighted/ 3.97 weighted, pretty solid extracurriculars (building a school in Africa…)</p>

<p>you know whats funny? I got accepted to UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, which is ranked higher than UNC in every single aspect. These admissions are crazy, I don’t think schools look for the same thing</p>
<p>I think I’ll send my UMich admissions letter to chapel hill to see what they think about it :)</p>
<p>GO BLUE!</p>
<p>congrats alicatpt, that’s what it takes to get in as an OOS applicant–a near perfect ACT (or SAT) and building a school in Africa. North Carolina really protects its own, and who can blame them w/the taxes in-state folk pay. Still, the resulting lack of heterogeneity in the student population (82% from NC and probably a good percent from VA as well) stands in contrast to schools like UMich.</p>
<p>dudukiel, don’t give up, you still have a decent shot. Quite a few OOS use UNC as an EA safety, to keep in their back pocket while awaiting decisions from the elite LACs and Ivies. OOS can save a little money going to UNC, but not so much that it will deter them from enrolling at a private school if accepted. It is simply the case that acceptance is far from assured at those schools, so many applicants apply to a couple of the higher ranked publics as a backup.</p>
<p>ACCEPTED! OOS 31 ACT terrible essays, but very strong EC’s. 3.82 UW 4.77 W. YAY congrats to all.</p>
<p>My son was accepted today from NJ. He already rejected the offer, as he applied ED elsewhere. Hopefully that makes room for someone else.</p>
