When asked directly if they still had admissions offers to make, the response I received was "decisions will be made until May 1st." The admissions office followed that comment with indirect statements making me believe it is simply wait list offers and rejections to be made. It seems as though the only admits that will be made are in the event that people withdraw or fail to pay their deposits. It was my impression from the admissions office that most of the offers for admission had been made. Wait list seems like the best possible scenario at this point.
That would jibe with this from the status tracker site:

Your file is now complete. Review of applications will begin in November, and decisions will be sent between mid December and May 1, 2012. We will have our first round of admit decisions rendered by April 1, 2012 and all complete files will have a decision by May 1, 2012. This means that we will have made our admissions offers to those who will not be waitlisted or denied by April 1. Waitlist and deny decisions are being sent out on a rolling basis also. We will begin our second round of admissions offers from the waitlist beginning June 1 (if necessary at that time). We will then admit from the waitlist throughout the summer. We understand that several of you have deposit deadlines looming at other schools. If you are going to be admitted to UNC in the first round, you will have a decision by April 1. Please be assured that we are working diligently to process your application. We ask for your patience to allow this process to take place and request that you do not contact the Office of Admissions to confirm receipt of materials. You can check the Requirements List below to verify receipt of materials.
