what is your GPA at Vandy so far? You don’t have to say it if you don’t wanna to.
3.5 after my first semester.
Pre-med.
Today is the deadline for transfer students. I just want to say best of luck to everyone, hope we can hear good news in April!
Applying as a sophomore transfer from a top private university, out of state
HS GPA: 94
HS APs:
Chem - 4
Macro+Micro - 5/5
Bio - 5
Physics C - 3/2
Calc BC - 3, AB Subscore 5
APUSH - 5
AP US Gov - 5
English Lit- 5
AP Euro - did not take
SAT: 1560, 3 770+s on SAT IIs
College GPA: 3.8
Classes:
Chemical Equilibrium - A
Fiction/Poetry Writing - A-
Psych: A-
Stat I: Pass (had to take pass/fail)

I know my scores are good but I’m concerned that my HS GPA is on the low side (people who go to UNC from my HS have 96+ GPAs) and I had too Pass/fail a class first semester which I think might offset the good college gpa. Do they consider deflation in GPA? My current university is notorious for grade deflating
So it’s been over 48 hours, and I haven’t received my connect Carolina login yet… probably just anxiety sinking in but since today is the deadline, part of me wants to call and make sure my application has been received? Haha any thoughts?
Don’t worry, as long as you got the common app email stating that your application was submitted, you’re good to go. You should get the email from UNC soon. @nduclaunc
@bgtyhnmjuiko what college are you applying from?
and now we wait Gosh it feels like I am a senior in high school again. Haha.
Anyone else go one and done with UNC? I am a freshman at the University of Florida, and I applied to UNC only. I know UF isn’t for me, but the only other place I’d rather be is Chapel Hill.
You really don’t like UF, where are you from. My sister and brother graduated from UF. Sister got in UNC, but really wanted to go to UF. She had a great experience there.
@UNCISMYDREAM I’m applying from Hopkins
Chance me pleaseeeee:
Top 35-40 U.S. News University
College GPA: 4.0
16 Credits so far, but will have completed 35 total at the end of the year
Applying as a Sophomore
High School GPA: 3.45/4 unweighted and 4.05 weighted
Class Rank: Top 18%
Very Good ECs such as pitching stocks at an investment firm, etc.
Letter of Rec: 9/10
Essays: 8/10
SAT is 1410/1600 and I’m out of state
@tzglass It’s not that I hate it, it is a good University, I mean after all it’s #9 in the country for public u’s, so I can’t bash it too much. Just doesn’t have the specialization I’m looking for for my degree. Also, it was never one of my top schools in HS. I really just feel as if UNC is my fit. Other miscellaneous complaints would be the size, amount of classes you have to take via online services, and the party culture/sorority fraternity’s massive presence
Send my transcripts about a month ago but just got my connect Carolina login. They’re on my to do list as if they haven’t been received… thoughts?
Why did they extend the deadline to the 19th? Everyone who was going to apply should have done it last night lol. Maybe they didn’t get enough applications??
It’s still 2/15 on the common app
They are accepting applications through the evening of the 19th. https://admissions.unc.edu/admissions-blog/2018/02/16/transfer-application-deadline-extended-monday-february-19/
Why did they extend the deadline?
No idea. Maybe people were having technical issues with Common App.
