Wait, if they don’t send out an email/blog post regarding accessing decisions today, is it safe to say we won’t get decisions the 23rd/have to wait another week?
@mademade They posted the “How to View Your Decision” page on the blog the day before they released decisions last year, so it could be today or tomorrow that they’ll post it/send everyone the email.
@freetogive Awesome, so the hope is still alive. I’m so nervous, but I guess it’s nice to still have this hopeful period before we find out our decisions!
Hi everyone- on the admissions blog UNC just posted the number of applicants they had this year (31, 848)
No, they do NOT TELL you about scholarships. That may not happen until April for sure.
@mademade I know. I’m nervous to find out and I just want to know my decision, but at the same time, I don’t want this hopeful period to end.
They had 31,000 applicants this year? Just for EA? that is NUtS.
To contrast, uChicago broke a record this year with 11,143 EA applicants. Harvard had 5000. Princeton 4500. University of Michigan, 22,000.
So the UNC numbers…for EA…well, they surely have to be among the highest in the country…
Nope, that’s total applicants, both EA and regular decision. Regular decision deadline was 1/12 and the number is inclusive.
Oh, okay, that makes sense! 
Is anyone else binge-watching TV shows (Grey’s Anatomy for me) to pass the time? (
@freetogive Ah I understand completely haha. Good luck to you–I hope we both get in and get to see each other next year!
I just called into UNC’s admissions office. The lady told me that we would hear back ON January 31st, not before then. It looks like we have another 10 days of waiting.
@phillysportsfan NOOOOOO please tell me you’re not serious.
Ah now I want to call to see if they give different answers. Ugh this is terrible. There goes my heart.
Do you think they would announce on a Saturday?
Idk release on a Saturday seems kind of strange to me. But wow. Another 10 days seems so long. 
I emailed UNC asking for something, and they said early action decisions should be posted in the next couple days…there’s your answer
Please think about that poor lady on the phone and how many thousands of high school kids’ phone calls she has had to field lately. She is instructed, I am sure, to give the official line of “end of January.” It’s not up to her to decide to let anyone know if they are going to be ready before that. A little patience will serve you well. Just take some deep breaths.
I freaked out about the whole, “we had a record number of applicants this year!” until I saw it only went up about 500 applicants. Good lord, is it Friday yet? 
This just in from some admission lady’s twitter/UNC’s twitter: Connect Carolina maintenance is regular and separate from admissions, so we can’t use that as a factor. Also, they have not set an official date for release but will have them in by the end of January. So no new info, but I thought y’all would like to know!
