<p>Hi,
I was deferred, waitlisted and finally rejected at UNC Chapel Hill for the c/o 2018. Now I'm taking a gap year in Moldova and Estonia (Russian language program through State Department) and reapplying EA. My stats are as follows:</p>
<p>In state
highly competitive public school (regarded as best/one of best in region)

ACT: 33 (35 English, 31 Math, 32 Reading, 32 Science and 8 on the essay)

Math 1: 720</p>
<p>I'm reusing my Common Application essay from last year (with tweaks) because the prompts didn't change and I felt that it was one of the strongest parts of my application (got me into several other schools that ended up being too expensive to attend).</p>
