<p>this is worse then rejection another 2 months... and isnt it a very small number deffered? any chance of acceptance after this?</p>

<p>Thank you for applying for admission to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After carefully considering your credentials, we have concluded that we must defer final action on your application until we have received your midyear grades and read the applications of our second-deadline candidates. I can appreciate that you have waited patiently for our decision, and I am sorry that we must now ask you to wait still longer. We will notify you of our final decision on or around March 20. </p>

<p>In the meantime, we ask that you take the following steps, which will enable us to consider your candidacy as carefully and as thoroughly as possible:</p>

<p>Report your midyear grades online. As soon as possible after January 20, 2009, and no later than February 12, 2009, go to UNC</a> Undergraduate Admissions, log into your UNC homepage with your userid and password, and follow the instructions to report your grades. Please note that this is your responsibility, not your school's, and please do not ask your counselor to send a midyear transcript on your behalf.</p>

<p>If you would like for us to consider additional test scores, please ask the testing service to send them directly to us no later than February 12. Our SAT code is 5816, and our ACT code is 3162. Since we receive scores electronically, you do not need to request rush or priority delivery.</p>

<p>In making our final decision, we will consider everything you have already submitted to us, the additional information you will submit to us, and the overall strength of our applicant pool. Additional letters of recommendation will not be necessary.</p>

<p>Again, I regret that we must ask you to wait. I will write to you again in two months with our final decision. In the meantime, I am grateful to you for your continued interest in Carolina, and I wish you every success.</p>

<p>Sincerely, </p>

<p>Stephen Farmer
Associate Provost and Director of Undergraduate Admissions</p>

<p>I did this sucks…I have midterms next week that I was planning on not really caring about and now I gotta study</p>

3

<p>they probably deferred a bunch of out of staters to see how many in state they let in</p>

4

<p>I got deferred too… I guess its good we weren’t denied right away</p>

5

<p>deferred in state. im so depressed right now.</p>

6

<p>Yup, I was deferred as well. Uggh. So not looking forward to waiting.</p>

7

<p>instate deferred - so sad - how many of us will they get in? Wonder how many were deferred?</p>

8

<p>I posted this elsewhere but with the little data that has come in thus far here is an observation. We’ll have to wait for more results to see if it holds trues.</p>

<p>On fast glance, the OOS approvals I have seen thus far all have SATs above 1500 or ACTs in the 35+ range. Interesting point and could explain the deferrals; Admissions waiting to see if the RD pool is that strong as well.</p>

<p>to answer “and isnt it a very small number deffered? any chance of acceptance after this?”</p>

<p>from [UNC</a> Admissions Blog: Decisions, Decisions, Decisions](<a href=“http://unc-admissions.blogspot.com/2009/01/decisions-decisions-decisions.html]UNC”>UNC Admissions Blog: Decisions, Decisions, Decisions) :</p>

<p>“First-deadline candidates who’ve been deferred will hear from us again on or around March 20. The share of deferred students who’ve eventually been admitted has varied pretty widely over the years–as low as 10 percent to as high as 50 percent. Until we finish reading all the second-deadline applications, we won’t be able to tell how things will fall out this year.”</p>

<p>deferred with a 1520 :(</p>

12

<p>deferred…cant say i wasnt expecting it in my heart of hearts…if interested in stats, please visit chance thread (very detailed)</p>

13

<p>Does anyone know if we can send additional information (academic honors, etc.) into the Admissions Office? I know we have to send mid-year grades.</p>

14

<p>Seems like a lot of people deferred… I got a feeling the chances of acceptance are pretty low for us but I don’t know, I have no stats or anything to back that up</p>

15

<p>Deferred OOS. I… don’t know how I feel about it. Part of me didn’t think I had a chance at all and part of me expected to get in. So… I’m feeling a mixture of glee (whoot! not rejected!) and also a little disappointment. It’s bizarre. It balances out into a sort of vague ambivalence. lol.</p>

<p>Ah well, plenty of other flagships, wot wot?</p>

<p>–</p>

<p>What happens to a dream deferred?</p>

<p>Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore–
And then run? </p>

<p>–</p>

<p>Don’t fester, guys!! We still have a chance! :)</p>

16

<p>three of my best friends got deferred, all ranked top 5 in class, good SATS, ec’s…im so sad right now I’m not even happy that I got in.</p>

17

<p>how do we submit midyear grades?? i know we have to do it ourselves…but i can’t find on the site where we enter them…??</p>

<p>09Diamond… you just had to read what he said in the letter:</p>

<p>“Report your midyear grades online. As soon as possible after January 20, 2009, and no later than February 12, 2009, go to [UNC</a> Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.unc.edu%5DUNC”>http://www.admissions.unc.edu), log into your UNC homepage with your userid and password, and follow the instructions to report your grades.”</p>
