Does UNC actually take kids off the waitlist? I know some schools basically take no one.

S Accepted 1580 SAT 4.865 GPA Subject SAT MATH 800 BIOLOGY 800 CHEMISTRY 800

accepted! as a white upper middle class female in Wake County who is barely in the top 35% of their class (4.18 W). there’s hope for us all…

I GOT IN! As an international student!!!

@Vienna3 They accept 9/1400+ OOS on the waitlist. So barely any. I was waitlisted as well and honestly I just recommend forgetting UNC and focusing on other colleges. I know how you feel though too, UNC was my 1st choice.
