Transferring to UNC 2020

Good Afternoon!

I hope this find you well! I am seeking guidance or re-assurance pertaining to applying to Chapel Hill! I have so many questions! Please let me know if you have answers to these questions! I hope to hear from current students or anyone familiar with this process! Has anyone recently applied and got in through a transfer program? If I have submitted my application way before the due date, do you think I could potentially hear back sooner than mid-April? Has anyone had success in going to UNC through a reverse transfer? Does anyone know first-hand statistics in transferring to UNC as a junior then applying to the nursing school? Do you know the statistics of those who apply to the nursing school if they are already a student enrolled at UNC? When you get officially accepted, would you begin taking summer courses at UNC or would you wait until the fall? Thank you for your time and helping to relieve some of my stress!!

Hey there, I’m applying as a junior transfer to Chapel Hill as well. Chapel Hill accepts around 1200 transfers each year, most of them juniors. UNC will not release decisions prior to mid-April regardless of when you completed your application - all decisions are released at once. Last year they were released on April 8th.

As for a reverse transfer, I have no experience or knowledge of how that program works. You may want to go on to the UNC subreddit to ask your questions because there are undoubtedly thousands of individuals (many of whom transferred) that will see your questions and be able to answer them more completely.

If accepted to UNC you will enroll in the fall, not summer.

I applied as a junior transfer last year and was accepted.

No. Everyone at the same time - first couple weeks of April.

I don’t know anyone who’s done this.

UNC does not break down transfer admissions to this level of detail.

See above.

You can enroll in the summer. You just need to contact admissions to have them bump up your enrollment date after you’ve accepted your offer of admission. However, nursing allows for spring transfers.

@chinamen are you sure most accepted transfers are juniors? The only information on number from each class accepted that I can find is from back in 2012 and they accepted more sophomores than juniors

I think you’re right @unchopeful1999 I checked out this link: https://admissions.unc.edu/apply/class-profile-2/

The most recent data is from the 2016 class profile and it shows more sophomores than juniors. Not sure why I thought it was the other way around.

Thank you soooo much for your replies!! I am just nervous waiting to hear back :slight_smile: How is it going so far?? Did most of you transfer from a community college in NC? @chinamen @unchopeful1999 @Mcunn226

I did.

Would you recommend taking Spanish 3 online at the community college or on campus? @Mcunn226

Romance languages are a beast at UNC. If you can take it elsewhere (and it will transfer), do it.

I gotcha thank you so much! @Mcunn226

Does anyone how how legacy works in UNC? I am just curious about this.
