I’m guessing either Thursday or Friday. Hopefully earlier though

do we think that transfer acceptance rates are going to be higher or lower due to the pandemic?

not sure, but what I do know is that last year had a transfer acceptance rate of about 44%, while the year before was 49%. That’s as far as the CDS goes back so I don’t know data beyond that.

it’s possibly the opposite since the aptitude tests were optional this year as well (i think). we should see the same trend this year.

I’m not sure about the acceptance rate. I would imagine it would be similar to last year’s. I do wonder though if people took a year off or didn’t transfer due to the pandemic meaning more people applied this year.

if you google UNC OIRA, you’ll get a lot more data

we’ll never know about how many people they’ll accept this year. there could be a lot of people who got accepted last year from the class or 2024 who went to community college for a year bc it’s cheaper. so that may mean a lot of competition. or there could be less competition because there are less applicants due to the pandemic.

either way, personally i believe that it evens out and the transfer rates will be similar to the past years.

i totally agree. between all these different effects of the pandemic it should probably even out

Did you guys make your essays super unc specific?

Not really, I mean I think that in general I align with UNC’s values so hopefully they notice that, but I did not make it super explicit for the sake of wanting to be genuine.

I think i’m going to call admissions tomorrow morning and see if they tell me when to expect decisions… i’m done stressing lol

Oh shoot I didn’t know about this thread until now. Man, we might be getting our decisions back this week right?
How are we all feeling?
I’m nervous but more-so excited lol.

All of your stats look great! I wish everyone the best. Lets try and not stress too much this week xD.

I’m super nervous but more than anything I just want to know my decision. As an OOS applicant I really have no idea what my chances are and it’s driving me crazy. Hopefully we hear back early this week and everyone on this thread gets accepted! We are all worthy and have done everything we can do at this point!

I will try at least on Tuesday. I think Monday is a national holiday for Easter Monday in America?

Any chance they come out tomorrow or Tuesday?

Monday isn’t a federal holiday so possibly but I think Tuesday or Wednesday is more likely

I just called admissions and they said mid-april and they don’t have a specific date at this time
