<p>i thought you were from Florida!</p>
<p>sure-</p>
<p>location- New Orleans, LA
pretty good private school.
ACT- 33 (29e, 33r, 36s, 25m, 9essay)</p>
<p>AP's- can't really mention since my school only offers 2 and Katrina year added one in from another school (will have 4 by the end of this year, 4 APUSH, 4 psych self-study, other 2 are bio and calcAB). I've taken all but 1 honors class available (english 9 freshman year).</p>
<p>School doesn't rank (very small class, but tied for 1st off the record).
A bunch of awards, including NMSF; I tutor 5 hours a week, gymnastics for over 12 years, tennis, really good essays (imo; I used my commonapp essay with prompt 8, and I've put my soul into that one), I'm in a program at Tulane, hundreds of hours of community service, that sort of thing.</p>
<p>Ummmm.....wow.....this is depressing.
Instate, 33 ACT, top 5%, 9 APs, cofounder of debate club, 400+ hours of volunteering at the hospital, marching band 4 years, principal trombone of local youth symphony....and I didn't get one.</p>
<p>Of course, it might have to do with the fact that they haven't received/processed my teacher recommendation yet (even though it got sent before all my other stuff, I hope I didn't accidentally send them my commonapp teacher rec or something -.-).</p>

<p>I am so psyched. So as long as I don't screw up this year... should be an in?</p>
<p>I'm so excited for all of you!! It's UNC's self serving Christmas present. It helps getting some of the most qualified candidates feeling good about UNC, so it's a two way street, really.</p>
<p>Start scheduling your visits to tour the campus again, or for the first time!</p>
<p>does UNC defer anyone EA? cuz there's no way i'm gettin in after lookin at these stats.</p>
<p>congrats everyone though, that's awesome.</p>
<p>It's my understanding that they do defer EA. I have read several accounts of people who were deferred on the Early Action deadline and accepted on the regular deadline. Good luck!</p>
<p>has anyone else received an email from the college board after applying to unc asking for an evaluation of the process? The email stated that it was in response to the UNC app</p>
<p>yeah, i didn't do it though. it's just a survey, doesn't factor into admissions at all.</p>
<p>Wow, I got one today. I am so happy and amazed. I ended up coming on here last night and seeing everyone posting about likely letters, so I slept with my UNC stuffed ram for good luck, and I got a letter just now. I'm OOS. Oh my god. I'm in shock!</p>
<p>Avant, stats for a fellow OOS?</p>
<p>I haven't gotten one (OOS) :(</p>
<p>I'm not crying, no. I'm not crying ... it's just been raining ... on my face.</p>
<p>Can someone give me a hug?</p>
<p>I have it from an excellent source that all of you that got these letters have impressed the committee in some special way. It might or might not have that much to do SATs or grades. It could be an outstanding essay, letter of rec, or personal achievement.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the small subset that have recieved these letters should be very proud. Congratulations to all of you!</p>
<p>My stats:
GPA: 95

<p>NY, don't be down, it doesn't mean you're not in!</p>
<p>sweeeeet i got one too, OOS! im really psyched// kinda amazed because its reallly unexpected</p>
<p>Does anyone have an idea of approximately how many letters they sent out?</p>
<p>ny10804, don't sweat it too much. Not everyone gets these likely letters. Like I said, most people who get in don't get a likely letter, only a small percentage do.</p>
<p>ok, no likely letter but received an email asking us what we thought of the admissions process. it came directly from unc. any feedback on who or why they send out these</p>
