<p>is anyone else sending additional information or additional honors stuff you have done since you turned in your apps to help??</p>
<p>OOS admissions is ALWAYS much harder than in state</p>
<p>I posted this in another thread, but will repeat:</p>
<p>I don’t know what the implications of the deferral are, but don’t give up hope. My daughter applied to UNC OOS, RD last year and was wait-listed. The letter made a strong statement that they did NOT want to hear from us again, so we didn’t send anything else in except notification of a very prestigious award she received from her high school.</p>
<p>She is now very happily ensconced at UNC, doing well, and feeling very grateful that it all worked out.</p>
<p>There is hope! I will say that prior to receiving her acceptance, she had no choice but to accept a spot at another school and proceed as if UNC was out of the picture. But deep down inside, I had a feeling…</p>
<p>I would definitely proceed forward in your mind with the possibility that you won’t be attending UNC, but you still never know. We didn’t find out she was in until May.</p>
<p>deferred. wonderful. i’m so thrilled to not be rejected. only not at all.</p>
<p>in my school alone, which is like literally 20 minutes from the campus, about 25 people were deferred. oh, and two of them were the valedictorian and the #3 in the class. 2180 SAT and 33 ACT respectively…
…admission decisions seemed strange</p>
<p>you’re telling me, raceme117! I have a friend at ncsa who goes to school from like 8-6 each day, killer SATs, campaigned for obama this summer, volunteered in costa rica…I thought for sure she’d get in, but she got flat out rejected. the salutatorian at my school got deferred…I have friends at ncssm who didn’t get in…crazy. admission decisions seemed really random and unpredictable this time around.</p>
<p>Anyone know if UNC usually does this many deferrals or was this year more becuase of more applicants?</p>
<p>raceme117–where do you go to school? Im the only one I know of from my school who got deferred. I would say around 35 people from my class of 100 applied.
and UNC posted stats about deferrals on their site–i think it was a slight increase in deferrals this year…but not by much.</p>
<p>From UNC Admissions Blog:</p>
<p>How many students were deferred?
This year we deferred the decisions of 2,429 applicants, or 18% of the 13,692 who applied.</p>
<p>What are my chances of being admitted?
This is very very difficult to predict. Every year is different and it depends on a number of factors. But to give you some idea of what’s happened in the past, last year we deferred 2,286 applicants and were able to eventually offer admission to 328. The year before, we deferred the decisions of 2,206 students and were able to admit 316</p>
<p>Sorry to point this out, but both years they admitted 14% of those deferred.
My son has been deferred as well.
We will send grades and any other pertinent info, but will proceed to make a second choice decision and continue to hope for a wonderful spring surprise!
Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Yeah I got deferred. Out of state.</p>

<p>It’s depressing. Where is everyone else planning to go otherwise?</p>
<p>deferred in state. i’m throwing my depression into studying for the SAT on saturday which is the reason i was deferred i’m sure. unc is definitely still my top choice. if not, i’d really love to go to Wake Forest, where i’ve already been accepted, but it is way expensive. so i guess NC State?</p>
<p>thats odd. wake is a lot harder to get in to than UNC in state.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think Wake has a 25% in state quota. I’m pretty sure a former admissions officer at Wake told me that. Nothing like an 82% quota for UNC, but it seemed like EVERYBODY that I knew that applied to Wake Forest got in…couldn’t say the same about UNC. Of course, I’m from Winston-Salem, so a lot of the people I knew applying were faculty’s children and the like…</p>
<p>yeah its not something i completely understand, especially with a two sisters at UNC (one of them even being in graduate school.) and no family connection to wake forest. i’m sure it was because i had the chance to have an interview at wake and did not submit SATs which were certainly the flaw UNC saw in my application. oh well i’m re-taking it tomorrow for the 1237891542545th time and hoping for the best so i get into UNC!</p>
<p>ugh…I am so depressed. at my school in ohio, 4 people applied EA. three got accepted and i am the one deferred. this is dumb.</p>
