<p>And bcotton, good luck to you as well! I wish they could accept everyone. It would be so difficult choosing between so many dedicated applicants.</p>
<p>I don’t really think they’re consistent with the release dates. Last year was very late I think. But I think everybody that’s talked to admissions more recently has been saying this week or next so eek. </p>
<p>@Hopeful I’m applying to transfer from NYU. You? & haha, if only we could all get accepted. I wouldn’t be so stressssed.</p>
<p>bcotton, oh awesome! And I’m applying from UNCW as a sophomore transfer. I was deferred last year, so I’m praying that after proving myself in college I’ll get in this year. A girl can dream! Haha</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore transfer too. I didn’t apply first year though… Probably because my dad wanted me to and I was unknowingly being defiant haha. You never know! The things they’re looking at are kinda different for transfers. Especially since in-state & OOS isn’t important.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s what makes me nervous. UNC Chapel Hill is very unpredictable when it comes to admissions. It does make me very happy that they look more at HS records for sophomores. Not that my college is bad, but my high school is definitely my strong point.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how transfer life is at Chapel hill? I am a little nervous about transferring if I am accepted. Is it easy to make new friends and whatnot for OOS students?</p>
<p>@SAT100 I had a conversation with someone about this awhile ago. They have some “transfer student” orientation thing but it’s not much. I think it’s really just about how you get assimilated to everything. Not just transfer students are OOS. I’m sure if you don’t have some weird, uppity attitude, it’ll be fine. Lol. The thing about North Carolina to me is it’s pretty Southern (which equals a lot of delicious Carolina pulled park, amen) & though UNC is said to be one of the most, if not the most, liberal of the schools, they’re still kinda conservative… Especially for me if I’m accepted… I go to NYU haha. </p>
<p>But really. Most people from Carolina are really nice and relaxed. Whenever we go back to where my dad grew up (Goldsboro), it’s just like a Southern feel. Like… my dad worked at a pickle plant during the summer lol. And the neighbors across the street from him know everything because she’s always looking out of the window. </p>
<p>I seriously don’t think you, or any of us, should have anything to worry about as long as we’re just generally nice people.</p>
<p>@HopefulHeel I’m not really sure what my strong point would be. Maybe college since I go to NYU & got a pretty high GPA first semester. It’s hard for me to really know because I did a lot of moving around & stuff so idk how they assess my high school courses & everything :</p>
<p>SAT100, I agree with bcotton. I have friends there and every time I go visit I make a new friend. Everyone is so welcoming, especially of new Tarheels. I think any transfer student should be fine. </p>
<p>And bcotton, I’m sure the moving around won’t hurt you at all. And NYU is definitely a well known school so that will help having a high GPA from there. I’m hoping it helps that I go to a “UNC feeder” school in the UNC system with a good GPA. I’m mostly nervous about my essays. They aren’t bad when it comes to grammar, word choice, etc. but I’m starting to think I didn’t go personal enough. I don’t have an outstanding life story to tell.</p>
<p>If it’s of any consolation. From reviewing past threads most of the people active on them were accepted. Only about two people per year were denied(that were active on the thread) That makes me happy.</p>
<p>Btw, Game of Thrones season three premieres tonight. Thank god. Without football and homeland I’ve been lost.</p>
<p>@Hopeful You mean the why are you transferring essay? I’m sure you did fine. The question itself is personal lol</p>
<p>@CCstudent I guess we just have to wait & see :</p>
<p>I think the admissions was more looking for desire and passion out of the essay than anything. Not everyone has a crazy life story, and they understand that. </p>
<p>I’m literally obsessing over this decision as it is my only transfer option as well. Patience is definitely not a great strength for me when it comes to wanting to get accepted to Carolina so badly.</p>
<p>That’s true about most people on previous threads being admitted. I noticed that going through last years thread. </p>
<p>And yeah, I guess the question is personal. I’m letting my anxiety get to me. I just was to know! Eek</p>
<p>@Carolinaboy I agree, based on the question I think they’re trying to figure out our passion towards UNC, what we’re looking for in college that we didn’t find at our current college, where your academic interests lie, how much you’ve researched the university and everything - which goes along with passion, ANNNNNNND in a way, that also allows some of your personality to seep out.</p>
<p>I think we’re all letting our anxiety get to us haha. Especially those of us that only applied to UNC.</p>
<p>I’m super anxious because I really want to get out of NYU & only applied to UNC (because it was honestly the only college I felt was close to NYU as far as “academic prestige” or whatever goes & had the things I feel NYU is lacking) & I definitely can’t take a break for a year or anything like that because I got a lot of schooling to get through. So it’s like… Moment of truth time lol</p>
<p>It really is… I am not at all satisfied with the school I’m at. Not challenged at all, and yet I only applied to UNC. So, if I don’t get in, it will be another dull year being duly unsatisfied academically.</p>
<p>Yeah I agree with you guys this anxiety is rough. I’m hoping were all just being over anxious and that we hear good news soon. Everyone looks like they have great stats so hopefully the wait will be worth it and well know soon. Although knowing everyone on here is going through the same thing makes it a little easier to deal with</p>
<p>I know. It makes me feel better everyone is as anxious as me. I was scared my anxiety was a sign I’m going to get bad news haha</p>
<p>I know what you mean. My gut tells me that I’m going to get denied just because of how nervous I am.</p>
