<p>It feels so good to be in</p>

<p>This thread is highly depressing for the people who have applied for the regular deadline…:(</p>

<p>heyitslauriebeth: yes, i am stooping that low. i thought that unc was perfect for me, and it’s just depressing that everyone else from my school who applied got in (15 students!). therefore, i must be a duke fan.</p>

<p>you could go to NC state and be a Wolfpack fan…</p>

<p>Go Blue Devils indeed!</p>

<p>I still don’t understand how my friend, whom has a lower SAT than I, could have been deferred while I was rejected. I mean, I’ve had a disease for the last 5 years and have managed to keep a near 4.0 GPA, and he has never had a single health problem (or any hooks, etc.)…</p>

<p>I just don’t understand college admissions.</p>
