Wait really? Ok that makes me a little more hopeful haha, thank you for telling me that. Best of luck to you as well!!
Iām waiting on UVA too! I guess Iāll 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! Letās hope we can both get in together then!!
thank you sm! and dw I already accepted my fate for UNC haha, Iāll just hold out some hope for at least 1 of my other schools
Thanks. My son was waitlisted with a 3.9 college GPA in computer science (heās a freshman) and HS of 3.8 at a college prep school. Lower ACT though as he doesnāt test as well as he does in class. He was denied at UNC as a HS applicant, so heās closer ! Good luck to all - enjoy your college years and no matter where you are, itās 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 dmād you with some transfer questions?

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 yāall during this process!
Anyone else planning to commit to UNC, would yāall be interested in a group chat of some sort? I think itāll 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).
