We got one and agree it read like a let down letter. We are well aware that out of state admissions are tough for UNC but still odd and I’m not showing my kid (it was addressed to parents). If it is indeed just a form letter that they send to all applicants, it’s very weirdly worded.

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

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.

Wondering if it means good/bad news forthcoming or means nothing at all.
Boilerplate response.
