<p>just curious, do most people get deferred rather than rejected? cause there is only one reject on this thread.</p>
<p>Callin him out...lol. But with regards to your questions I'm not sure.</p>
<p>Well, I think people who were rejected probably don't want to be broadcasting it on a forum. I remember when I was applying to Stanford, once I got that rejection I pretty much peaced out of their forum forever. No need to linger where there are bad feelings.</p>
<p>Legalpeach is my mom and I'm posting under her name.</p>

WOW. When I see who got accepted, (from OOS) I don't feel too bad being deferred. You guys really earned the right to feel proud and to be accepted, for sure.
Those of you IS, you are so lucky to have a state school like UNC!
Best of luck to you all!!!</p>

<p>General Comments/Congratulations/etc: Damn, I must be helping fill up some sort of quota if I managed to get in while all these other more likely candidates got in. Still, I'm grateful.</p>
<p>I think that the reson that most people on this thread got accepted is because only people who got accepted(or deferred) are excited about the school. The people who got rejected are moving on, as they should be, and considering their other options.</p>
