<p>On timing:
Pardon to the out-of-staters and private-school students on different calendars, but this in-state mom would be more than happy if results coincided with the END of the semester at many in-state public high schools (about Jan. 17 or 18).</p>
<p>Seems it would be a good thing to have, uh, continued motivation through that exam period for many students.</p>
<p>And from watching results come in last year: UNC seems to be a school that tries hard to deliver or beat expectations. If that means only making promises they can keep - like notification by the end of January - and then beating that deadline, that's a refreshing approach. The state motto: "To be, rather than to seem," comes to mind.</p>
<p>Good luck to all. Enjoy the holidays.</p>
