OFFICIAL Fall 2014 UNC Transfer Wait-list thread!

<p>I thought we could all be anxiously waiting together. :)</p>

<p>Here are my stats:
Transferring from: University in UNC system.
Current Classification: Freshman, so applying to be a sophomore
College GPA: 3.7
Major: Computer Science
Minor: Entrepreneurship
High School GPA: 3.17 (Moved to U.S from Europe my freshman year. Took a few years to adapt)</p>

<h1>1 High school in my state, top 90 in the country.</h1>

<ul>
<li>I did a summer internship at UNC in the Computer Science department helping a professor make a plan for his new robotics course, and represent UNC at an elementary school as a teacher.</li>
<li>I have started 5 companies in the past, some becoming fairly successful.</li>
<li>My dad is a part-time professor at UNC.</li>
<li>I took a summer course at Harvard.</li>
<li>1 Letter of Rec from important UNC Computer Science professor.</li>
<li>Dean's List, National Technical Honor Society, National Society for Collegiate Scholars.</li>
<li>2nd Time applying.</li>
</ul>

<p>My high school GPA is not the best but I'm hoping the rest will outweigh my past.</p>

<p>What’s up guys. I doubt many of us are happy to be in the wait-list haha. I’m keeping hope though…</p>

<p>Transferring From: Campbell University
Current Classification: Currently a freshman, applying as a sophomore.
College GPA: 4.0 - 36 Credits will be completed.
Major: (Eventually) International Business + Finance
Minor: Possibly Spanish?
High School GPA: 3.6 weighted, 3.3 unweighted
SAT Scores: 1700</p>

<p>EC:
College - Student Govt. Assoc. (SGA), Vice Chair of Elections of SGA, Chair of Elections of NC Student Legislature (Where I won two awards at two conferences for having the best resolution), Members of some other clubs, organized a charity event that took place on UNC’s campus that had over 5 schools attend. Inducted into Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society.</p>

<p>HS - (This isn’t all of them, just the ones I put on the application) Captain of Varsity Swim, came first in my conference’s heat. Student Director - Certified in Final Cut Pro X, 100 hours of instructing others in FCP X, filmed my school’s commercial for WRAL.</p>

<p>I also had a recommendation from the dean of the business school at Campbell, as well as from the Dean of the biology department. However, Carolina never downloaded them… I wrote a pretty stellar essay that highlighted the exact reasons why Carolina was the best choice for me. I also come from an international background, only moving to the USA around 3 and half years ago from Europe, so I was able to explain away my poor sophomore HS grades and I was also able to show how I improved greatly my junior and senior year (Straights A’s except for one B). I also speak two other languages.</p>

<p>I’m going to be real. I don’t know why I, or the other people in this thread got waitlisted. Anyway… I’m on track to get a 4.0 again this semester, at worst a 3.82. Which would average me out to a 3.91. I just wish I knew now!</p>

<p>@UNCTransfer2014 Out of curiosity did you apply to any other schools, or just UNC?</p>

<p>@SimonK I only applied to transfer to UNC. My current University simply doesn’t have what I want to do, which is Finance. You?</p>

<p>Yeah, I also only applied to UNC. I was considering NC State, but I didn’t really want to go there.</p>

<p>I am admitted by Umich and others but I only want to go to UNC, but I am only on WL! sat1990, GPA 3.76, second year student </p>

<p>@SimonK Yeah I kind of thought the same…but no where is like UNC! I so badly want to go, it’s become to be a dream of mine at this point haha. Doesn’t seem to be that many people on the wait list though.</p>

<p>@UNCTransfer2014 Well, let’s hope for the best. In the 2013 wait list thread there were only like 4 people who said they had been accepted. Albeit there weren’t that many active members in the thread in the first place, but still.</p>

<p>I do not know because I already know three people who have just decline their offer. I am know looking for more and more of these people and persuade them to decline. lol</p>

<p>@Simonk Honestly I wouldn’t be worried about that. Most of the wait list threads were pretty inactive, and the stats for the people who didn’t hear back were lower than ours…I’m pretty sure haha. Honestly at this moment I’m just trying to get through exams and not stress out about how there is going to be absolutely no classes for us to take by the time we register…</p>

<p>And here’s the old thread if anyone is interested. If anyone else finds another thread post it here!!</p>

<p>And @simonk, if you look at their grades, both of ours surpass the ones that were accepted. Hopefully that means admittance for us? Haha.</p>

<p>@UNCTransfer2014 Yeah, I guess we can hope for the best. I’m just kinda annoyed that by the time we will be informed (probably around mid-may) most of the classes will have already been filled… :/</p>

<p>@UNCTransfer2014 , I do not know why we are on the wait list, do you guys know if it possible to know the result of wait list before June 30?</p>

<p>@szjoeosu I believe most will be informed on or slightly after May 15th.</p>

<p>@Simonk Thank you! I have always been waiting for UNC, it is kind of heartbreaking when I saw the WL result, UNC is my dream school, let us wait together! Good luck to every one!</p>

<p>Hellllooo… Pleased to join all of you over here! I mean, I was expecting a flat out rejection, this is better, I suppose? lol
Now… How do we wait this out until May/June?!</p>

<p>@KA8803 Mind sharing some stats with us?</p>

<p>Alright guys seems like we have some bad news…</p>

<p>Only 59 last year…praying I get in haha.</p>

<p>Wow… what happened in 2011? For 2013 it was a 14% acceptance rate from the wait list… Not the best chances, but who knows… </p>

<p>Hey, guys. I’ve been reading the UNC Transfer 2014 thread and the students who were accepted say that it’s been hard to register because there are so few spaces left in the classes they need to take. I asked admissions whether people from the wait-list (if accepted) would be able to register for the necessary classes, since we’re on a strict timeline to graduate, and all they said was that advisers would be there to help. I’m not sure whether I even want to go anymore if I were to be accepted simply because as a biology major, I still have advanced science courses I really need to take next year, especially because I have to take the MCAT next year, too. I really love UNC and what it stands for; when I visited campus, I felt like it was the perfect fit for me. What do you guys think? Think it’ll be worth it to take the risk of waiting?</p>
