<p>It says its for accepted students. Do any past applicants know if this means you are definitely accepted, or do they just invite all first gen applicants?</p>
<p>nvm. they emailed me and said they’re just testing their event registration system</p>
<p>I bet they sent that to students who are actually admitted. I got neither the event nor the email. Thinks are looking more and more bleak for my college process.</p>
<p>Does “first gen applicants” mean first generation going to college or first generation going to UNC Chapel Hill?</p>
<p>In-state DS has not seen hide nor hair of the message you mention.</p>
<p>UVAorBust–be of good cheer. It ain’t over till it’s over. :)</p>
<p>There was no mass email. I emailed the admissions office personally to inquire about the event showing up and that was the individual response they gave me. Sorry for the confusion.</p>
<p>and dont worry UVAorBust. I believe theyve already taken down the events, so if you are firstgeneration and it is not there currently that does not mean it wasnt there earlier today. Additionally, the admissions office gave me no indication that it inferred an acceptance.</p>
<p>bnr2011 - it was taken down already? Did admissions indicate that decisions may be coming out this Friday instead of next?</p>
<p>hi NJMOM…for some reason I was thinking about you the other day (no idea why)…I’m guessing a sibling is trying to follow in footsteps?? good luck!!! (our second one is going to Elon, so no legacy at Syracuse)</p>
<p>No. All they said was that they were testing their event invitation system thing, so I would not make that assumption.</p>
<p>Hi Rodney - yes, my daughter applied early action. My son is now a junior at UNC!</p>
<p>S just got the UNC email saying it will be next Friday (on or about) for decisions. Instructions came on how to retrieve the info with links to sign up for.</p>
<p>I got the Carolina Firsts thing also, and I’m really hoping it was accidentally sent to admitted people, lol, even though I doubt it!</p>
<p>goldysocks - are you a first gen?</p>
<p>juniormom, DS got that, too. Next Friday–gulp!</p>
<p>On a brighter note…MyUNC has finally, finally posted DS’s Latin SAT score, which College Board sent them in late December. Woo-hoo, they’re catching up, LOL!</p>
<p>@UVAorBust, yes, I am.</p>
<p>Thank god!</p>
<p>this may be a dumb question… but when you check your parents level of education on the application do they automatically put you into the “Carolina Firsts” category to review your app?</p>
<p>I doubt there is a seperate “category” for first gen applicants. They probably just review it for each individual app and take it into consideration</p>
