Does anything that is currently included or not included on the UNC portal indicate an application decision? Have students in past years been able to identify something on the portal that indicated their decision before official decisions were released?
Interesting you ask. D’s portal has totally changed this am, with references to advisers, finances, etc. Perhaps indicative of good news coming soon?
@swims4school how does it change?
D is able to set up payments ( although there is no bill). There is a form for her to report outside aid; there is an immunization form that I found with her PID and the ability to fill it out. She can agree to accept tax forms electronically, she has the ability to update personal information ( under home above the FERPA icon), fill in emergency contact information, and invite a third party proxy to share her information and pay her bill. I hesitate to think this means anything because the school is so competitive for OOS kids- but it is all very weird. Under finances it allows me to set up my bank account information for payments. It allows me to set up email accounts for bill payers. There is a link for program advisor but right now it is black and not " clickable."
I am not convinced this means anything- it is possible that all applicants have access to these forms and they will simply disappear if rejected. The mystery continues…
hmmm. sounds promising, going to check my son’s now…
Look on the connect Carolina page- you will see " people" then search then look for student info. It’s hard to find. Then on the page with the FERPA icon you can hit " home." That gives you other info.
Well, I just checked and actually I think my son’s has been like that for a while. Under status, it says not available ye.
My daughters has been like that for awhile too. Not sure it means anything. It’s very possible that everybody has these things and then they disappear if you are rejected.
My son has those things as well. I take that to be a good sign (well wishful thinking :). Can’t imagine that they would set up the accounts if you are being rejected. This was also new that came up a few days ago as he can Search By Class Attribute.
What other colleges did you sons/daughters apply to and get accepted?
yes our situation on the connect carolina just changed as described - finances/classes/etc. that’s all new. college67 i get what you are driving at i think - i’ll say we are optimistic on admittance yet nervous as always as there is always some randomness… d has done very well on other acceptances/offers thus far - but UNC is top choice… hopefully good sign here. good luck to all…
@Doctorzzz, We are waiting for Chapel Hill as this is my sons #1 choice in state. He has received a great offer to Ohio State but still trying to figure out the money situation for an OOS school. Keeping our fingers crossed that he gets accepted 
Good luck to everyone!!!
I doubt that the options on the portal mean anything at this point. But to test it, we would need to know if these options appear for anyone with absolutely no chance of being accepted. Anyone willing to admit that???
Is anyone not seeing the new stuff? Are we sure it is new? Possibly those links were always there.
I don’t believe that it was there in the very beginning. Believe the “Search By Class Attribute” came up last week on my sons account.
I had heard decisions are always released on a Friday. Anyone know if that is still true?
Search by class is fairly new here too, as well as a few options to add additional emails etc.
Realistically, would they really risk giving “clues” as to who is admitted. I’m sure their software is sophisticated enough that they can add everything after notifications go out.
I can just imagine the admissions staff following this thread and snickering to themselves. “What could we add next to keep them guessing? Mwaahaahaa…”
Anyone believe decisions could possibly be out by next friday???
@Trusting, too funny!!!
