I hope this doesn't affect my chances of getting into other schools, but if it does, I'm willing to accept that. Forewarning, this is going to be a useless review because it will not help others. This is simply a personal note. UNC is a great school, from what I've heard, but their process is extremely nitpicky. I understand they want the "cream of the crop," but I can't help but feel disappointed in their notion of "cream of the crop." My best friend applied and was rejected, they didn't even give her a chance by deferring her. She is number four in her class (might I add a very competitive class, our valedictorian has a full ride to Yale) and has a GPA of above 4.0. I'm sure there are many students who have been rejected that are in the same boat or are even better... and for those of you in that boat, I'm sure you will excel anywhere you go. I just believe that they need a more personal process. My best friend is one in a million, not because of her outstanding work ethic and drive, but because of her compassion and love of learning. They'll regret rejecting her.
