This is definitely a great honor. My sister attends UNC and it’s my top choice right now. Honestly, there are no better schools for the fusion of academics and social life. I could attend a Duke/MIT/Princeton/Yale/Harvard, many IV league schools, but UNC is both distinguished for it’s social life and it’s academic merit, and for that, I’ll be especially thankful to attend in the class of 2015.</p>
