R.I.P. I am so jealous haha. Anyhow, congrats to all of you who got in! Also, those of you who got rejected, don’t worry to much about it. I am sure there are other great colleges that will take you. It’s great to see everyone post their stats. That is really helpful.

Waitlisted with automatic acceptance to the spring semester.
Does that mean i’m pretty high up on the waitlist? Is this common?

Can you share your letter please, I didn’t get to read mine

alliezannino If you don’t mind me asking why are you transferring from USC?alliezannino

Accepted!!!
College GPA: 3.86
HS GPA 2.8/2.9, NYC schools don’t do 4.0 scale but I had a 78/100 and I think that’s a 2.9 or something.
Congratulations to everyone

Do you guys know when we are supposed to notify them? Whether or not we’ll be attending?

@kemobk my major is in the school of public health and UNC’s Gillings School of Public Health is one of the best in the country. USC is a good school, but UNC is next level. I also didn’t rush a sorority at USC which made it harder to meet people! We can talk more if you have any questions!

I feel like waiting till later today to view my decision .
Is everyone that is getting accepted receiving emails ?
POST YOUR STATS PLEASE

@Kate0615 by May 15th. We’re also supposed to make an account to set up an email and to get our financial aid

Sucks, UNC has been my dream since I was a little kid and I would have 100% gone. Pretty surprised and dissapointed they didn’t even waitlist me, guess the competition is pretty high. Congrats to all that got in. Chapel Hill is an awesome place to spend 2 or 3 years, you’re gona love it!

Accepted to UNC as a freshman but chose not to attend. Chose based off of rankings rather than fit.

@AwkwardNewYorker thank you so much for the info! I appreciate it!

I got the same email @Vincent1997. Except when I called, I was not lucky enough to receive any type of information regarding my application.

@dogmom17 So they told me that they have people going through a list of students and sending them e-mails with requests for whatever is missing. In my case the gap year. I am sure that you’ll get one later today.
