<p>omg i hope decisions come out earlier than April 15…I’m dyinggggg</p>
<p>I looked everywhere to see when they’d come out, where did you hear April 15th?! I hope they come out sooner, my anxiety is killing me!</p>
<p>the website says around april 15, so I just say april 15 LOL. I reallyyyyyyyyyyy hope it’s before april 15 though…this wait is just killing me!</p>
<p>Outtosea I think you have a very strong application. I know a lot of ex-military guys who transferred into UNC around the same time I did so it seems UNC values people with that type of prior experience. I wouldn’t worry too much about HS grades or anything else, your Cgpa is very strong and with a decent essay you should be fine.</p>
<p>Thanks for that… Hope you’re right. Ive been nervous as hell ever since sending my application in.</p>
<p>I AM so nervous! Why do transfers have to wait this long?</p>
<p>does everyone hear on april 15? like do they post it online all at the same time?</p>
<p>There’s no set date yet. The 15th is just a rough estimate.</p>
<p>I have a question, how many extracurricular activities did you guys entered on your application? I am kind of worry if I put too less and maybe I should send them a resume…</p>
<p>I think that if it’s not April 15th then it will likely be a week later on the 22nd. It’s pretty standard that colleges and other institutions granting admission to applicants announce things like this on a Friday, typically around 4pm or just before their office will be closing for the day. I would expect Carolina to be no exception. Announcing decisions late in the day, at the end of the week is the most sensible thing for the admissions department to do because it will allow them to avoid most of the phone/email/walk-in bombardment that typically ensues from people who don’t get the news they’d been hoping for. </p>
<p>The same goes with jobs, you typically get fired on a Friday.</p>
<p>…but I hope, in this regard, that none of us get fired.</p>
<p>I really really hope it’s no later than the 15th…I seriously can’t wait any longer. That would be just devastating.</p>
<p>…or maybe it will be the 8th 
but that is very doubtful…i really i hope i get in. that would be amazing</p>
<p>Hey UNC transfer applicants!</p>
<p>I transferred to UNC in the fall of 2010, and I know that I swore by the College Confidential transfer thread. I’d be happy to answer anyone’s questions about admission, campus life, etc.</p>

<p>Sarah,
How was the transition to UNC from your original university? was transfer orientation helpful?</p>
<p>Hey Sarah, thanks. Hope you’re enjoying yourself. I’d be transferring in as a junior if I get in. Do you recommend living on or off-campus? Also, where did you end up living and do you like it?</p>
<p>I know! I seriously can’t wait any longer! If I don’t get in, I already promised myself that they haven’t heard the last from me, hello graduate school! Yes Sarah, do a lot of transfers live on campus? I don’t want to ask questions because it’ll get me excited and I don’t even know if I got accepted yet! yikkess!!</p>
<p>Just think, we’ll all know by easter…hopefully. which makes me nervous cause i know my family will want to know where I got into…Gahhhhh! Transfer shouldn’t have to wait so long! RD already know…c’mon! we’re experienced! :)</p>
<p>i really hope julie will update the unc blog with info on when transfer decisions will come out!</p>
<p>sarah- how easy is it to get housing as a transfer student?</p>
<p>@McBainTrain: My transition was a little bit more difficult than most, due to the fact that I had commuted to my former school for 2 years while living at home. I was very homesick, and coming from NY, it was not easy to go home for the weekend. But I quickly got involved in campus organizations where I met a lot of wonderful people, which allowed me to ease into things more and let the homesickness subside. The first few weeks are the hardest. Now that I’m in my second semester, everything is great! I’m no longer homesick, have a great group of friends, know how to handle the workload, and I just feel that I have a good balance. I don’t want to scare any of you away from UNC. I don’t know anyone else who struggled with homesickness as much as I did, and most of my transfer friends eased into things right away and had a pretty seamless transition. I would suggest going to the transfer orientation if and only if you are an out of state student and/or don’t have any friends here yet. Although the information they tell you is nothing new and it is definitely more expensive than it should be, I benefitted a lot just by being introduced to transfer students and being able to exchange phone numbers so that I had people to hang out with right away.</p>
<p>You’ll most likely be able to get on-campus housing, it just takes a little longer for you to get your assignment. Even if they put you on a wait-list, it is likely that you’d be taken off and given a rooming assignment. When I transferred in they did not “guarantee” it, but I’ve heard that this year they may indeed guarantee housing. Either way, I’d suggest applying and expecting to live on campus. There are other options, though, should that fall through, so no need to panic!</p>
<p>@Mountie: I also transferred in as a junior. I decided to live at Granville Towers - you can look it up just by Googling it - which is an off-campus, dorm-style living. The benefit is that there is an on-site dining hall (much smaller selection than on-campus) and that it is right off of Franklin Street (main street in Chapel Hill with all of the shops and restaurants). I definitely would NOT suggest living there. If you were planning to live there, feel free to ask additional questions, but to keep it simple- it is excessively Greek, antisocial, overpriced, and loud at all hours. Apply for on-campus housing - that’s where the majority of transfer students end up. It’s nice to be able to access the campus very easily, and most of the dorms are nice (especially the ones on North Campus).</p>
