Early Action Applicants!

<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>I sent my Early Action application to Chapel Hill in October and now I'm dying to know if I got in or not. It's my number one school that I'm applying to and I'm so nervous to receive my answer. I was wondering how everyone else deals with the stress of waiting for a response. </p>

<p>I live in Lisbon, Portugal and do the IB so my school work is a constant distraction from my anxiety....but any advice on how to prepare myself for the final answer? </p>

<p>Also, does anyone know the date that Chapel Hill normally responds to early action applicants?</p>

<p>I know it’s sometime mid-January, all at once for EA!</p>

<p>Waiting is so very hard!</p>

4

<p>This wait is seriously killing me! Can we just fast forward to January already? (:</p>

5

<p>I cannot wait until January either!! UNC is one of my top choices, I wish they sent out decisions around now considering the application was due so long ago</p>

6

<p>Thank you! I knew it was sometime in January but I wasn’t sure when exactly…I know, this wait feels like it’s going to take forever especially when most other colleges are sending out acceptances this month :(</p>

<p>UNC promises to have their decisions by the end of January and they do not waiver from that message. I suppose they want to under promise & over deliver by beating that date. Last year, the EA decisions were mailed the week of January 16th. My student received the “Big Envelope” on Thursday, 1/19. UNC posted decisions to the prospective students’ “MyCarolina” accounts on Friday, 1/20.</p>

<p>Killing me too, out of state student, so it is much harder for me to get in!</p>

<p>My son applied EA to UNC as an OOS student. I think it’s somewhat frustrating that they ask for the application by October 15 (2 weeks earlier than anyone else) and that the response is 6 weeks after EA or ED decisions are released. He also applied EA to Michaigan and Boston College (accepted at both), but the wait was a lot shorter. Well, no use in complaining as it isn’t going to move up the notification date.</p>

<p>I’m also oos and unc is my top choice! Ironically I also just got into Michigan and bc honors program physcodad! I’m so nervous to hear from unc bc I want to go there so much and even oos it’s pretty reasonably priced…I just wish we could’ve found out with the other early schools this past week</p>

11

<p>agree with all. Just sent my BC app in, traveling too much with debate and 4 AP classes that I just could not get all the essays done. Basically applied to many EA and some do not notify us until Feb! UNC is my top choice too.</p>

12

<p>Same boat guys. Was accpepted to BC now waiting on Chapel hill. On the bright side, we have little pressure</p>

13

<p>I can’t wait! I didn’t mind the wait at all until this past week whenever everyone started hearing back from other Early Action schools. A month seems like forever away!</p>

14

<p>To have such an early application deadline, their decision release date is soooo late… so frustrating and nerve-wracking. Oh well, I’m expecting a rejection anyway lol.</p>

15

<p>Tennis- what a coincidence- my son got into Michigan and BC as well- best of luck in your search- such an exciting time!</p>

16

<p>UNC is my dream school :)</p>

17

<p>anyone have any idea when decisions are supposed to start coming out?</p>

<p>Last year it was around Jan 21 I think.</p>
