<p>I was hoping I would get in but i knew it would be tough. Its my top choice so it sucked when I got a regular letter.
What are the chances or precentage of being accepted after being deferred??
I got into Wilmington and was deferred by NC State surpirsingly I was confident I was going to get in but guess not.

<p>I think everything sounds good for Carolina except for that 1700. Maybe take it again before final decisions come out?</p>

3

<p>its too late for that I think but would changing my major or adding another as a second choice improve my chances?</p>

<p>The only reason they look at majors is so, if you were accepted, they could assign you to an advisor. That’s what Erin Andrews told me when I met her at the admissions office. I roughly had the same stats minus a 3.5 w, 4.3 UW, a 1710 SAT, and 27 on the ACT but, my essays and extracurriculars were VERY strong. I would just hope for the best. :slight_smile: Best of wishes to you</p>

<p>Thanks. Hopefully straight A’s last semester will be enough. Does anyone know the percentage of applicants accepted after being deferred? And do they keep a tab on your application so they know you were EA or do you just become RA like everyone else they look at?</p>

6

<p>Last year a little under 300 were accepted regular decision out of the 1400 deferred</p>

7

<p>Wow i’m actually really surprised that your were deffered by State. I’d be reluctant to bet on it but i think you’ll get accepted after they see your grades just keep up the good work. Also are you from a rural county?</p>

8

<p>ehh idk i wouldnt say its completely rural. Its more of a mixture, theres farm land around but no big cities idk its close i guess</p>

9

<p>I made all A’s last semester would it be ok if I submit A+'s on my midyear report that i have to send in?</p>

10

<p>Do you mean, would it be ok to lie?</p>

11

<p>yeah… I dont know the actual grade like 93-100 so idk. My transcript just has an A next to the class same goes for my report card…</p>

12

<p>Don’t lie.</p>

<p>I said I made A’s, which I did.</p>
