@elontounc123: I did. And I’m waiting for UNC to create my email

Is anyone else having problems trying to create an ONYEN? Each time I do, it say’s my PID is not qualified. I’ve already accepted and paid my deposit.
same with me
@brookso73 I was recently rejected from U Michigan as well. That is absurd that you were rejected with a 3.94 GPA and a 1410/1600 SAT. I was waitlisted to UNC too.

Is anyone else having problems with Connect Carolina.
For those of you that got rejected I just wanna say that I’ve been there last year when I applied as a sophomore. I know how you feel. It’s not the end of the world and yes it sucks but you can overcome it. This is my second time applying and with two semesters of 4.0 and a thicker resume I got in this year. Never give up!!
Typically, how long does it take to get financial aid awards after being admitted?
did anyone else who got accepted not receive an email with their transfer credit report yet?
Also looking through thread you see a yuge divergence between rising sophmores and juniors. Seems that juniors with 3.5+ got in
Last year financial aid awards took about a week to two weeks after admission decisions went out.
@unctransfer17 I am in the same boat. I am also having trouble logging into Connect Carolina.
Rejected sophomore.
