<p>Thank you for a very kind and thoughtful post. Everyone on CC, the people you mentioned, and you have been very helpful/calming in the past couple weeks. Congratulations to your son!! I am sure you are incredibly proud, especially considering he is out of state.</p>
<p>I was accepted Early Decision as well, though I am in-state, not OOS. I was very pleasantly surprised, though–I’ve never taken an AP class because the school I attend doesn’t offer them (an Early College High School–they focus on finishing your Associates degree by the end of High School rather than APs, I suppose), and my SAT composite was 1110 (my writing blew that out of the water, though, at 660). I think my extracurriculars, writing ability, and extremely rigorous academic workload was what got me in. So, don’t fret–if I got in, so can others.</p>
<p>Awww Thanks! I am was just as worried about get in. It’s nice to know that CC is more than just a forum, I also have really grown to enjoy and respect the CCers here on the UNC boards. :)</p>
