<p>Okay so it's officially January and now the wait is on. UNC is by far my number one but OOS is so variable so who knows. I figure we can have a thread to post when we hear and any other news/nervousness. I've only heard from one school (USC honors yay!) but I'm kind of freaking out about UNC. I get really frantic just thinking about it...anyways. Happy waiting! And happy 2013 (yay we graduate this year!)</p>
<p>Thanks for starting this thread. I’m starting to freak out too. I just want to hear!!! Already heard from Tulane (Honors and money), but UNC is way higher on my list, so I’m super nervous. Less than 3 weeks to go! Good luck everyone.</p>
<p>People found out last year around the 19th, so if that’s any indication, hopefully we find out in a little over two weeks!</p>
<p>haha yeah I’m anxious for the decision. Just a bit nervous… fingers crossed!</p>
<p>Hey guys! I’m a current UNC student, so I can probably provide a little insight into when you find out. Last year letters were sent before the decisions were put online; the year before, it was the other way around. However, most people found out around the 18-19th last year. It’s normally on a Friday, so I would probably expect it around then. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Thank you so much for the insight tarheeler. I was going crazy thinking I messed up my application since I hadn’t gotten a response yet. Now I’m just counting down the days :S</p>
<p>The wait does the most damage! Forget exams and midterms, I’m definitely more nervous about being accepted to Chapel Hill!</p>
<p>I am nervous about the results coming back. I am nervous. I have always wanted to go to UNC, and have planned my entire life around what they accept. Super nervous for all of us to boil our 12 years worth of eduction right down to a small envelope. Nerve wracking.</p>
<p>It won’t be an envelope, it will be online status</p>
<p>…AND an envelope, hopefully the BIG one. </p>
<p>Last year the letters were mailed early in the week of January 16th, prior to the online posting on Friday the 20th. Depending on your proximity to Chapel Hill and the reliability and speed of the USPS, you got the old fashioned notification first. Warning: Online inquiry volume has been known to shut the system down!</p>
<p>I’m really nervous! UNC has been my number 1 choice since sophomore year! I wish I wasn’t OOS. Luckily I’ve already heard back from Michigan though why is a bit of a relief but still super nervous!!</p>
<p>Okay so this guy at my school with a 1540 applied to UNC with some sort of golden application that didn’t have any essays. He has close to no extracurriculars and his GPA is realllly low. But he is in IB with me so he takes difficult classes. We all question how he did so well on the SAT haha but he’s kind of a compulsive liar and he knows UNC is my number one so about a month ago he told me he already got in and I didn’t believe him because I figured he was messing with me. But now he’s telling people again that he got in? Does anyone know anything about the golden application or whatever. I always though UNC wanted the full package from out of state students but maybe the high test score is enough?</p>
<p>He’s definitely just trolling you. UNC doesn’t have any fancy app for special students. Even 2400s have been rejected from UNC, according to the admissions officers, so obviously test scores are not everything at UNC. They place a lot of emphasis on ECs, essays, and other parts of your application in a more holistic process. And yes, the wait is killing me too. Hopefully they’ll release the decisions soon, possibly on the 18th.</p>
<p>just kidding! I’m pretty positive he was lying again. Just ignore the previous comment!</p>
<p>I got a good laugh out of the above posts :)</p>
<p>think pink, he is definitely ‘pulling your leg’–don’t take the bait!!</p>
<p>I agree with fightthetide, the 18th looks like a probable date and it’s killing me waiting too. I’m really just barely on the borderline, and probably not even that, but I have a few acceptances that I’m happy with, so my ‘Plan B’ is set to launch as needed ;)</p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone!!!</p>
<p>Does anyone know if they send an email that there is a decision online or do we just keep signing in to the website to check?</p>
<p>Hey southern-thought you got in to Virginia Tech? That is early DECISION, not early action, so if you got in there, you are contractually bound to attend. You prob should double check your info. ED acceptees are also obligated to WITHDRAW their outstanding applications. That darn fine print…</p>
<p>Where else has everyone heard from?</p>
<p>Think pink, we are in the exact same situation haha. I also got into USC Honors and really hope I get into UNC in a week or two. I’m not OOS though, which probably means you’re a lot more nervous than I am right now.</p>
<p>Bourne, yes kind of freaking out! But congrats on USC honors maybe ill see you there next year haha who knows. But UNC is my number one and W&L my number two but I won’t hear from them until April unless I get a scholarship which I may hear about at the end of the month! January is full of nerves</p>
