2018 UNC REGULAR DECISION APPLICATION THREAD

<p>Does anybody know when we’ll be getting the mailed letters?</p>

<p>I live in South Asia, so not expecting it any time soon</p>

<p>Congratulations to all you new tar heels! If I know anything about Carolina, those of you that go will spend the next four years falling in love with the place. :)</p>

Rank: no ranking
ECs: plenty; pretty strong, 3 year varsity athlete (went to state twice for soccer)
Essays: Above average, not stunning
Recs: really good, teachers loved me.</p>

<p>Dissapointed but not too surprised; accepted my wait list status because I figured it couldn’t hurt. Kinda butthurt though as I thought this was a manageable reach.</p>

<p>Waitlisted OOS</p>

<p>ACT: 35
GPA: 3.84 UW, unranked
EC’s were fairly good but not outstanding, lots of music + art, some math + science, some volunteer work
Essays: I would say strong, but don’t have standard of comparison.
Good recs
Currently also accepted to NYU, Rochester, Binghamton, WUSTL, and Cornell, waiting on UMich </p>

<p>Not extremely surprised, disappointed though. Will probably accept waitlist status, but not sure yet</p>

<p>Really happy for all you accepted students though, congrats! :)</p>

<p>Accepted OOS!! Idk how.
32 ACT
3.6 unweighted | 3.75 weighted
Was in IB Diploma program, but just dropped that
Super active in EC’s but most were not super beneficial to the world
Own a business?
Parents and brother attended
Sub par rec and essays.</p>

<p>Still hyped beyond belief. I’ll do big things while there even though my qualifications don’t make it look like I will</p>

<p>Rejected
2200 SAT (1480 reading+math)
Will have completed 9 AP exams at the end of this year, having had 4s/5s on every one so far
National Merit Finalist
Top 3% of my class
Pretty good ECs+volunteer work
Think I had good essays, but I’ve had to write so many for all the different colleges that I really can’t remember.</p>

<p>Not gonna lie, I’m pretty disappointed, thought I had a good chance at getting in. Visited the campus a few moths back and loved it as well as the programs they offer. I guess the saving grace is I probably wouldn’t have been offered much financial aid anyway, and I got offered a full ride to my 2nd choice school, so I’m pretty much certain to go there now.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got accepted. Wish you all the best there! :)</p>
