Probably just to demonstrate some old fashioned courtesy. Also, some parents may not know where kids are applying.

Well isn’t that southern!

PP. That was my thought!

My thought too. It’s North Carolina, not the DMV 😀

We got the same letter and we are in-state.

I think supporting materials for UNC aren’t even due until December. Given that they probably don’t even have scores/rec letters for everyone, I’m going to guess/hope it went out to all who applied. 🤞🏻

It does say at the bottom, if parents have any questions to contact the admissions office. Would it be wrong to write them a letter that says “this was my dream school, you didn’t let me in, now it’s my daughters - what do I need to do to get her in there??”😂

How is this hard to understand?

if you are concerned about the message, call them and tell them.

How is it hard to read a post and walk away rather than replying with something rude and snarky? Be kind.

Probably everyone got one, but I get your curiosity too. Sounded a bit like they are trying to let you down easy in advance.

+1. It is a parent letter to set the inevitable stage. OOS is a hard get at Chapel.

OP - legit question and best of luck to your child!

An in state PP got one too. When I got home and read it it doesn’t sound as much as a let down letter as I thought it would. I’m starting to think it was just a bit of southern hospitality and charm.

Got one too. DS is OOS. I thought the letter itself was a positive sign but agree that the language is odd and may mean this won’t end well. I don’t know why UNC feels the need to let me down easy. I can take it, UNC, let it on me!

Legacies also get a version of this letter, at least last year they did. The letter was no indication of the outcome btw.

That’s interesting, in a FB group I’m in, the prevailing wisdom is to let the student contact Admissions and drive the process.

We got the letter as well. I didn't think it meant anything, but I thought it was a nice gesture. BTW, DC doesn't stand a chance of getting in UNC.

We received one as well. It feels like a soft letdown, but I don’t know why they would bother. I’m sure it means nothing. I’m sorry people are so rude on this post.
