<p>I know that this issue was already discussed when decisions were sent out in January, but I never read a post that gave me a very good idea of what the acceptance rate for deferred students actually is. Does anybody have an idea? BTW, I am out of state.</p>
<p>On a tour last year, the lady told visitors that most out of state people would be deffered until April because of the strict OOS-IS ration. I don't know what the acceptance rate might be, but I would guess that it's better because you're OOS.</p>
<p>.....better? dont you mean worse?</p>
<p>OOS= even more difficult in reg decision round, and i heard deferrals usually mean rejection when it comes to carolina, but its just a rumor</p>
<p>"i heard deferrals usually mean rejection" -misstinax3 </p>
<p>Great. I wish they would have just flat-out rejected me then. Why do they even give out deferrals? So much for that faint glimmer of hope.</p>
<p>April, don't know if this will make you feel any better, but I know of two kids last year that were deferred in EA and accepted later during RD</p>
<p>April - missxtina even said it was a rumor, and you're going to lose all hope because of a RUMOR?</p>
<p>mkm56, what were the stats of the people that you know that got in after being deferred? (SAT, GPA, classes, etc.)</p>
<p>got in:</p>
<p>1920, 4.4, 6 APs, officer in a lot of clubs, legacy.</p>
<p>i also know two other people</p>
<p>I don't know their specific stats as I didn't know their parents that well. I do know that both were top 10% of class--but not in top 3 of the class. Both were varsity athletes, one was male and one was female. Both took AP classes, but sorry I have no idea if they took THE hardest schedule possible.</p>
<p>were they IS?</p>
<p>yes, it is true that misstina said it was only a rumor, but it's a "rumor" I've heard a few times before. The more i think about my deferral, the worse I feel. It's unrealistic at this point for me to think I still have a legitimate shot. Thanks to all of you who listed past deferral to acceptance stories, but I think that those acceptances were rare, and often involved circumstances that do not apply to me (ie: recruited athlete, in state (I'm out of State))</p>
<p>my sat went up like 200 points total (110 cr + m) since i originally applied, my midyr grades are all A's except for one B in AP Enlish (B) and i put in an extra 30 community service hours so I hope they see that as growth.</p>
<p>I live in pender county (very underepresented) and the highest SAT anyone has had from my school is 1240 (he goes to UNC) and i got a 1260 so i really hope they find favor in me. My friend got into UNC w/ an 1150 last year.</p>
<p>best of luck to all</p>
<p>i think if you have a lot of growth it is easier to help yourself in the pool of deferred applicants</p>
<p>i got deferred too... i'm OOS (virginia) at public school with a 2150 SAT (1460). My GPA was a 3.94 and I've taken 8 APs. I was really hopeful that being deferred was a good thing, but I'm slowly losing hope. I'd already taken the SATs three times so I didn't really want to take them again, and my semester grades weren't as great as I'd planned:
AP Comparative Gov B+
AP Literature B+
Spanish 5 B+
AP BC Calc A
Advanced Band A
AP Chemistry B+
Senior Science Invest B+</p>
<p>Realistically, what kind of chances do I have...?</p>
<p>They were IS</p>
<p>well april1 is OOS, so those IS situations probably wont help ease her stress lol</p>
<p>Yea I was deferred in state. These are my stats</p>

<p>fobby1818: I still cannot believe u did not get in in-state.</p>
<p>How were ur essays? Did u have more Ec's than these?</p>
<p>Damn...that kinda worries me if Fobby got deferred in-state.</p>
<p>well I was suprised that I did not get in, but I think it was because I had 2 c's last year, but hopefully my midyear grades will pull me through.</p>
<p>What'd you get a C in last year?</p>
<p>I know a couple kids from my school (in wake county) that got in with a lower gpa, and a couple C's as well. Are you from the Charlotte area or something? Does that matter if its an overrepresented area of NC?</p>
