<p>That’s 2009 numbers - think it’s wrong one</p>
<p>I have decided that the admissions office has been taken over by the same people who organize presales for Radiohead tickets.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Lady Di, very sorry for your friend. She, her family, and you have my prayers.</p>
<p>They updated the blog with instructions to view your decisions tomorrow. Check it out if you haven’t :)</p>
<p>Thanks boymom5…the numbers are from 2009 and overall they are pretty good. OOS though is only 22%…that is what we are:( Praying S gets in. He refuses to even come on CC…thinks I’m nuts…lol. I wonder how many other moms are on here instead of their kids. I can’t be the only crazy lady…lol:)</p>
<p>I am another crazy mom checking constantly these last few days. So, you are not alone!</p>
<p>HAHAHAHA! My kids think I’m crazy! I have found out so much on here, though, so I look at is as research…</p>
<p>Yup, I’m another mom…you’re definitely not alone. Daughter doesn’t even know I’m on here. Being OOS she is assured she doesn’t have a chance.</p>
<p>Thanks ladies…it sure seems like I’m in good company:)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Found this in last year’s blog from Julie. So, this was the class of 2014 STATS. Not this year… Also, this was for the EA group.</p>
<p>And further down…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Not to rain on the parade but 48% in state acceptance and 22% out of state acceptance does not equate to a 70% acceptance rate. The actual acceptance rate was 35.68% for the 2009 early applicant pool.</p>
<p>They updated the blog saying they’ll be released tomorrow. Do you think they’ll be on at midnight?</p>
<p>I know it’s kind of lame considering decisions are coming out in a matter of hours, but you all seem like you have a good idea of whether or not you have a good chance. I would greatly appreciate if anyone would tell me if I have a shot, so I’m just gonna list my basic stats and see if any of you answer :p</p>
<p>OOS (ugh)
ACT 32
GPA 3.85 (my schools weighs very strangely, on a 5.0 scale it’s about a 4.3)
ECs are pretty weak but not all that bad
Essays are amazing in my opinion
Also, I’m Puerto Rican so URM, not sure if that helps at all</p>
<p>Based on Loring’s numbers the 2010 early admit rate was 36%, it seems pretty consistent year on year.</p>
<p>URM definitely helps, from what I’ve heard. </p>
<p>ACT is great! </p>
<p>From what I understand, UNC weights essays very heavily. So, you should have a definite advantage there.</p>
<p>Your ECs could not possibly be weaker than DS’s, LOL.</p>
<p>I think you have a strong shot. :)</p>
<p>“…22% out of state acceptance”</p>
<p>Yeah, but all 22% are on this board, LOL!</p>
<p>@kohoutek, thank you so much. I cannot imagine the grief of carrying the baby so far, so long, and then…this. I appreciate y’all’s kindness and prayers.</p>
<p>The folks at CC are the best!</p>
<p>BTW, the stats are located in the comments for the Admissions Blog from Feb. 2, 2010, if anyone wants to verify.</p>
<p>70% accepted? This is way, way off. According to the admissions dept, there were about 14,000 that applied EA. 70% of these would mean that almost 10,000 were admitted during the EA cycle. According to the CDS for 2009-2010, there were a total of of about 7,300 admitted during the EA and RD cycles combined. The acceptance rate for EA is probably somewhere in the 35-40% range, which is a little higher than the 32% for the entire admissions cycle (in 2009-2010).</p>
<p>I just got notified about the Pogue scholarship, anyone have any info on it? Like how many are chosen in total, IS v. OOS.etc…</p>
