Honestly I am crushed. I always pushed myself to the limit and I spent so much time on my essays and application. However, I know that with time this rejection will sting less and that I will find my place, wherever it is. Congrats to the others who were accepted and Go Heels!

Accepted in state!!! Congrats to everyone else who was as well!

3.96 UW

I got accepted! OOS, 33 ACT, 3.98UW/4.17W (according to how my high school calculates GPA).

Honestly so surprised, but I doubt I’ll be going to UNC because I’m going to need a lot of need-based aid. Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted though!

Accepted OOS! 34 ACT with strong essays.
To those deferred/rejected, you guys are gonna go somewhere amazing next year good luck :slight_smile:

Deferred in state :frowning:
