Deferred … OOS, 33 ACT, 3.85 unweighted GPA, IB Student, significant extra curriculars.
Here is the BIG QUESTION. He has a composition scholarship audition on Saturday at UNC – a 6 hour drive from our home. Should we still go?

Deferred OOS
Twins both accepted OOS!
Accepted in state with a 28 ACT and 3.96 GPA UW and 4.84 W. I also had some pretty stellar essays and too many ECs to count. Congrats to everyone else accepted!
My twins both accepted too – one IS; one OOS
Accepted OOS! 34 ACT, 3.78 UW, 4.58 W, IB student, solid extracurriculars.
I’m somewhat surprised that I was accepted, my essay wasn’t that good.
Is there an official results only thread?
Actually there is one here:

Of those of you that got accepted are you getting an error when trying to creat your UNC email on selfservice
Got in in state!!!
Rejected OOS. Very disappointed but this makes my other college acceptance decisions a lot easier now. Congratulations to those that got in! Kick some ass at UNC for those of us who don’t get the chance to.
Haha, appreciate the link! I always found those threads useful when I was going through last year results so I figured I should make one.
rejected out of state
Accepted! Out of state (international) 3.96 unweighted GPA & 33 ACTs
@SCDMomma If your son is deferred, I think it could only help him to go to the audition for the scholarship. Deferred usually means they want to see more to help them make a decision, and a good audition could be the “more” that they’re looking for.

To the out of staters good luck and congrats. My DD is in state (and got in) and really there isn’t a lot academically different than UNC, UVA or UM. (basically the financial models and out of state cap at UNC is the major difference).
To the in staters: feel lucky that we have a pretty decent in state university. I wouldn’t poo-poo UNC with in state tuition; I’ve seen some comments that I don’t think would reflect “expert” advice on the benefits of in state tuition vs. out of state marginally “better” schools that cost a lot more. Also, to those who worry about having so many kids from you high school go there; that is the point of large state universities. As someone who attended UC’s top school even though ~20 kids from my high school went there (since we were in different social circles and academic interests) I only bumped into someone a couple times in 4 years.
good luck to all. DD got in IS. there’s not much difference between UNC UV and UM academically. Differences are weather, geography, lack of engineering at UNC.
To instaters - be glad you have a quality public university and don’t poo-poo the benefits of in state tuition vs out of state (or Duke) if you do not qualify for much financial aid.
