UNC class of 2019 EA thread

I can’t even get into my connectcarolina. It is proxy access only and employee-facing registry problems??? Has anyone else gotten this error?

@ineversleep, I can get into my sons with no problem.

To answer your question re: decisions being released on Fridays, Maroonsfan, that was the case in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, but last year EA decisions were released on a Thursday (but also about a week later than in those prior years). Good luck!

@ineversleep‌ Try using a different browser - it happened to me too but I was able to access it on firefox for some reason.

Also, very sorry to burst your bubbles but I’m just trying to be realistic here - there is most likely NO correlation between the payment stuff appearing and an acceptance. I applied EA to Princeton and there were emails sent out about financial aid about a week before admissions - a lot of people on CC thought this meant an early indicator of acceptance. However, this was NOT true, as I DID get the email but I was NOT accepted.

Just trying to make sure nobody misreads this and misconstrues it as an early sign of acceptance - believe me, it feels very bad to think you are getting in and then finding out it had no meaning. I got the payment stuff on connectcarolina too but I’m not considering it to mean anything.

Good luck to everybody and remain positive, but I highly doubt the payment info means anything.

Does anyone have the enrollment shopping cart option?

Yes my son does as well.

Yes my daughter has that.

I had to write, @Trusting TOO FUNNY thanks for my laugh of the day

What do you mean enrollment shopping cart option? Can you click on it?

@Maroonsfan…if you sign into your account you should see an enrollment shopping cart. If you click it, it will open up to a new page. Does your page have that?

Today I noticed " search classes" in a green ? Or blue? Box on the top right above the column on the right. It is clickable and looked new- but who knows- maybe it was always there lol.

@twogirls it’s always been there.

Ok lol. I am sure a lot of these things have always been there but we never paid attention.

The shopping cart appeared for me this week. Does anyone NOT have the shopping cart? The window shade was added about 2 weeks ago.
Anybody not have these items or is it standard for everyone when they lof into connectcarolina.

I’m a parent so I’ll ask my daughter if she has the shopping cart. She has a very relaxed wait and see attitude. I, on the other hand, am very stressed. Would like to know soon.

I have the shopping cart - OOS

Can I get an honest opinion on something…
I have about average or slightly above average stats for someone applying OOS
33 ACT
3.8 UW GPA
Rank 5 in class
Solid EC’s (leadership and a lot of community service)
But I wrote my essay about how being an atheist has fueled my passion for science. I tried to pick something that would make me stand out, but I’m starting to doubt myself because I think it can either be really good or really bad.
I didn’t come off as an arrogant prick or as someone cynical, I just wrote about something really important to me.
I was accepted to Georgia Tech yesterday so I guess they liked it.
What do you guys think about this essay choice?

So are you guys saying that people with shopping carts are most likely accepted?

d0texe I have no problem with your essay choice.

My daughter has the shopping cart. I have no idea what it means. The good news is that within 3 weeks this stress should end.

I wouldn’t read much into what’s on the portal and what’s not. It probably just causes unnecessary stress. Do you think decisions could be out next Friday (1/23)?
