UNC 2018 Transfer Student Thread

Thanks for the help guys!! @HSstudentNC @scaredfromunf

@PalmTree55 I see what you’re saying to an extent. I just didn’t want to write everything out from my resume haha. I have completed a few internships in my field of study, participated in/ assisted research in field of study, and am in several EC clubs on campus that do volunteer work.

My daughter’s friend said she is able to go to her carolina connect page and click order texts and and it says please select one term. There are no terms up yet though. Anyone else have that? My daughter didn’t try it yet. Just curious if that means anything??

@Nurse001 everybody has that option. The reason there are no terms is because nobody has been given a decision/ admitted yet, but in the future that is where people can order books and other stuff.

Chance me, please. I’m currently a freshman at William Peace University. I have a 3.8 college GPA, and I graduated high school with a 3.4 weighted (2.8 unweighted) GPA. I scored a 1230 on the new SAT. By the end of the year, I’ll have 28 transferable credits.

Fall semsester classes:
-History of the US I (HIS-201, 3 credits)
-First Year Seminar (FYS-100, 1 non-transferable credit)
-Public Speaking (COM-101, 3 credits)
-American Government (PSC-201, 3 credits)
-State & Local Government (PSC-202, 3 credits)

Spring Semester Courses:
-Principles of Biology (Bio-101, 3 credits)
-Bio 101 Lab (Bio-101L, 1 credit)
-Composition (Eng-112, 3 credits)
-Global Business Environment (BSA-160, 3 credits)
-Intro to Public Policy (PSC-280, 3 credits)
-Finite Math (MAT-202, 3 credits)

I also participate in various extracurriculars, if that helps.

No one can chance you in this forum. Your HS GPA and SAT will still be an important factor for the admissions

Is anyone still waiting for the email to create their Connect Carolina account? The decision release is days away, but I am already starting to become nervous. One more question, Chapel Hill superscores the ACT right?

It normally takes 2-4 days to get your email from UNC stating how to create the guest ID for Connect Carolina. The decision release is not until mid April unfortunately. Yes, they do superscore ACT. @KanyeYeast

Decision release days away? I thought it’s around April 7.

The decision release is in mid April.

http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/university-north-carolina-chapel-hill/1921394-unc-2017-transfer-student-thread-p44.html It’s around April 7

It’s not the same date each year. It was April 14 in 2016. http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/university-north-carolina-chapel-hill/1856114-unofficial-unc-fall-2016-transfer-thread-p35.html

@HSstudentNC You’re right. :)>-

Just curious what’s yall backup schools?

App State is my back up school. Already got accepted there, just waiting to hear from UNC.

Can someone chance me? It would mean a lot to me. I’m so nervous looking at all of your STATS! Great competition :slight_smile:

Again, no one can chances you in this thread. You should feel confident if your GPA is above the average(3.7).

For those applying, is UNC your first choice if accepted or are there other schools above it on your list?

UNC is my first choice but im applying to NC State too and if neither of those work out then Im applying to Clemson! @HSstudentNC

UF & FSU were my safety’s & i am accepted into both, UNC is my 1st-choice that I think I could get into & Duke is my reach
