<p>Decision: Waitlisted</p>
<p>[ ]Stats:

[ *] SAT IIs: 700, 640
[ *] ACT: 31 (36, 35, 32, 28, 27)

[ *]Subjective:
[ *] Essays: really good, original
[ *] Teacher Recs: one very good, one very solid
[ *] Counselor Rec: very mediocre, my counselor is clueless about the English language
[ *] Hook (if any):...can't think of one. My aunt knows a professor at UNC, prolly shouldda had him write me a letter
[ *) Location/Person: San Diego
[ *] State or Country: CA
[ *] School Type: mediocre public
[ *] Ethnicity: white....pretty tan this year though I should add
[ *] Gender: best ever
[ *] major strength/weakness: I had some great ECs, probably why I wasn't outright rejected (tons of leadership stuff on the state/nat'l level), very strong essays/don't want to sound arrogant, but I think I was a very solid applicant the whole way through, not really any weaknesses. **Received likely letter at Virginia, in case that helps anyone in the future.
[ *] why you think you were accepted/rejected/waitlisted: OOS
[ *] Other Factors: **Deferred EA. Note to future applicants: Actually look at the school profile and don't apply EA unless you are in the upper-25%.* I think getting deferred actually hurt me.
[ *] going to attend? Probably won't put my name on the waitlist. I feel very fortunate to have gotten into some other great schools, and I'd rather my spot be given to someone who truly considers Carolina their one and only "dream school." I harbor no ill-will towards the school or anyone in the Carolina family, who knows, I might even apply there for grad school!</p>
<p>To those who were admitted: Congrats, go Tar Heels
To those wait-listed: If it works out, great, if not, at least we were given a fair shot
To those rejected: Remember that you applied to UNC because it is selective. They can't admit everyone. There's a school out there for you, take it on full-force, and good luck!</p>
<p>ACCEPTED OOS!!</p>

<p>so did most of the deferred apps get waitlisted?</p>
<p>I personally know of 2 deferred in states that got rejected</p>
<p>^^^I know of a few OOS last year who were rejected. On UNC's website it says that around 1,000 accept a place on the waitlist. They admit around 6k of 18,000ish applicants (numbers may not be correct, but % admitted is). So therefore, around 7,000/18,000 were either admitted or waitlisted. The rest were rejected.</p>
<p>so..should i accept position in waitlist?</p>
<p>I definitely would, there's going to be lots of people that get admitted but don't go</p>
<p>O Ok....well yea....I've heard that...but then they are offering more scholarships this year, then last year....so more might stay. :S</p>
<p>Anybody get scholarship/financial info with their acceptance letter, or was it just an acceptance only?</p>
<p>Nope, just a generic letter.. :/</p>
