Iā€™m waiting on UVA too! I guess Iā€™ll pop over to that thread next!

Those are really solid stats, I know the reputation for oos waitlist is poor but you never know.

Haha no way! Letā€™s hope we can both get in together then!!

Thanks. My son was waitlisted with a 3.9 college GPA in computer science (heā€™s a freshman) and HS of 3.8 at a college prep school. Lower ACT though as he doesnā€™t test as well as he does in class. He was denied at UNC as a HS applicant, so heā€™s closer ! Good luck to all - enjoy your college years and no matter where you are, itā€™s mostly what you make of it, so stay positive and put 100% effort in to wherever you are. Take it from an old man - life comes at you fast. Enjoy EVERY day.

Thank you! I was also rejected as a hs applicant, so I know how it is haha. But if he really wants to go to UNC I would encourage applying next year since Junior applicants have a better shot! Especially if his college gpa stays consistent.

Would you mind if I dmā€™d you with some transfer questions?

accepted oos to KF (:

Accepted in state
3.9 uGPA
4.1 weighted hsGPA

Lots of extracurriculars, volunteer work, and leadership including a college fellowship program. Essay were decent, but I definitely could have spent more time on them.

ACCEPTED !!

  • OOS
  • Test-Optional
  • 4.0 GPA coming from a big ten school
  • Current Freshman applying for Sophomore year.

Is there a facebook group for accepted transfer students?

Gonna miss this thread a bit haha. It was really nice being able to collectively panic with yā€™all during this process!

Anyone else planning to commit to UNC, would yā€™all be interested in a group chat of some sort? I think itā€™ll be nice having people to talk to who are on the same boat of transferring to UNC and having to adjust next semester. I would also love to make some new friends for Chapel Hill!

DM me if you are interested in a group chat and we can get a groupme, instagram chat, or discord started (whichever works the best for you all).
