I’m not feeling confident because my GPA last quarter was 3.7, lower than my first quarter. If I get accepted it’ll be a nice surprise. I’m still shocked that this happened, I was really hopeful.

@lamppostUNC to be honest, your GPA should be qualified for the admissions. Maybe something went wrong in your application.

For those who got waitlisted and have not yet accepted the waiting list offer, can you copy and paste the letter? I totally forgot to take a screenshot before I accept the waiting list offer. Thanks!

What do you guys think of emailing them to ask why my application wasn’t accepted? Or appealing the decision?

I don’t think you can appeal if you are in the waiting list.

I am most likely going to have the exact same GPA this term or a little lower 3.87-3.91 range… A little surprised because I thought my application/ GPA would have qualified me for admission but after seeing the others on the waitlist I’m even more grateful!!!

Admissions are rolling after May 15?

No, if space becomes available, they will take a small number of people off waitlist first.

It looks like people in the past have waited as late as late June… I really don’t want to go through this again, but also I’m taking this as a rejection.

@UNCISMYDREAM I think we’ll get a letter in the mail saying our decision, although I might be wrong. Then you can read what the statement was.

Anyone else offered a guaranteed acceptance for the Spring of 2019?

there’s a guaranteed acceptance for the Spring of 2019??? Really? Can you post the letter?
