a plain white envelope with UNC letter head - thought it was a rejection initially - and to date nothing has changed online
They have another hour before the admissions office closes
Come on UNC…post on the blog!
HAHA! you guys are so funny. I feel for you all. My son also applied. I come on here daily to see whats going on. It’s easier than going onto the school sight. Keep us posted, and GOOD LUCK : )
hey @empath So your D received the letter several days ago? There were flurries of that on this thread…one theory is that it was recruited athletes…another that its kids who have already made it to the next round of the Morehouse scholarship…and the letter is sort of a side-verification.
@empabi Seriously, how bored are you that you feel the need to make up information?
^^^We shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Her daughter may very well have a hook that we don’t know about (i.e. Morehead Cain finalist, recruited athlete, etc.) It’s not like Admissions is open and forthcoming with information about what they have been doing.
Well let’s don’t accuse. We don’t know. I will say that Twitter #UNC19 and others have nothing indicating any news.
It’s so interesting to see the differences in behavior between parents of current applicants and current applicants themselves on this forum. Also, I also checked around and no new information has been declared about acceptances on social media, so I’m weary to believe what this person says about his or her daughter. If it’s true, congratulations! If not, find better things to do with your time than antagonize anxious kids.
When is the connectcarolina shutdown going to happen?
@collegequeen777 the website says Thursday, 1/22, 5 pm!
But I tried logging on now and couldn’t, so I guess it’s happening now!
@wstrav How do you know these details?
@Maroonsfan Last year’s EA thread.
I can still login to ConnectCarolina
I can as well.
I can too
What browser are y’all using? I was on firefox, and it said some error occurred. I tried it on my dad’s computer though a few minutes ago, and it worked, so I think I may have not logged off properly last time when I tried to exit. So yes, it looks like it’s at 5 still! Sorry about that confusion, guys!
It says on various Carolina websites that the site will shut down 5pm until midnight. It’s for current students to do drop/add etc. They even tweeted that it is unrelated to admissions because they saw everyone was wondering/tweeting about it.
- I understand UNC only accepts about 500 students from OOS early action - needless to say - chances are the OOS accepted EA students will also have many other opportunities including the Ivy's, various presidential scholarships and acceptance to other private elite colleges - Amherst, Oberlin, JHU, Haverford etc - what makes UNC different or better? Is the school environment UNC more friendly and possibly a little less competitive?? or are all of these top choices extremely high stress?? - any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
