^agreed. A lot of this stuff has been visible on the portal for quite a while. ConnectCarolina recently fixed a problem with different displays showing up on different browsers, which is why the format or display may seem new to some of you.
Looking back, most decisions have been released the weekend before the last week of January, sooooo fingers crossed for the 23rd!
Hey guys, so heres a situation. I don’t expect acceptance as I am aware of the OOS acceptance rate, however I believe my parents do. If I don’t get accepted, how could I explain this to my parents to get the most accepting reaction from them? (Btw just assume they are not the most reasonable people lol.) Thanks!
@IVCUSA11 Show them this page.

Acceptance rate for out of state is low. I’m a parent and realize that whatever happens now is out of my daughter’s hands.
Okay, thanks @Maroonsfan !
@IVCUSA11 Non-acceptance to a college does not imply any fault in you. Take a look at the Harvard, Princeton, Yale threads–students with perfect records and scores and incredible extracurricular activities are often deferred or denied. Who knows why? If UNC accepts you, that’s great. If not, move on to your next choice. Hopefully, your parents will be mature enough to understand.
OOS i have the shopping cart
The enrollment shopping cart has been there since december 9
i screenshot the UNC page then
does anyone know if they will send us decisions via email? Or do we have to get them on carolina connect?
According to last year’s thread, they send an email with instructions on how to view decisions two days before the actual day. And then I think they send you an email to check your status on connect Carolina. But the email doesn’t say whether you were accepted or not it just says check Carolina.
Does the connnectcarolina portal change actually indicate a positive decision? Has this changed occurred only for accepted students in years past?
What change are you referring to?
The added financial info and the shopping cart
@Midwestprep5, let’s put it this way: No one has said that they are seeing a portal without any of the mentioned features. Most of the “changes” have been there for a while, but there have been issues with the portal displaying properly in some browsers. For instance, Chrome had problems for several weeks, but that seems to be fixed now. All in all, I think it’s fairly safe to say that none of the features appearing on the web portal are really an indication of any decisions which may not even have been made yet. A week and a half to two and half weeks at most, and we’ll know for sure! Best of luck everyone!
Thanks for that @finselmom
@finselmom thank you!
I do not personally think that any changes in the web actually indicate sort of ‘glitch’. They are smart enough not to give any glimpse on it.
Does anyone know if we will get decisions in the mail along with Carolina Connect?
UNC Admissions just posted on Twitter “We will announce before the end of January. Thank you for your patience.”
So, it probably will not be this week.
@unchopeful25 UNC tweeted that they won’t be mailing physical letters this year because they like trees 
Let’s hope that decisions are posted by next Friday… I don’t think my nerves can take much more.
