UNC Class of 2020 EA Discussion Thread

@unchopeful98 thats interesting, i was thinking about that too

I can’t even find that tweet anymore :open_mouth:

Never mind. xD I found it. But decisions aren’t up.

why would they tweet a silent emoji? they surely must know how much people will read into that

Yep- 5:30 is a no show :(. This is messing with my head!

My coworker said when she got her answer it was around 5:30 or 5:35. However, I’m starting to think no decisions today

@greeny8 I have no log-ins for anything (mind you I have 2 D’s that we are waiting for, so apps x 2) I am more manic about checking portals than they are, so I just nudge “check now!” Starting to get the hang of this waiting thing…glad I never have to do this again… but hey 6pm today is “after 5pm”, but so is 1/29/16, “after 5pm” today! :slight_smile:

can we all just tweet at them and ask

Maybe the silent emoji was next to this one: [-( and they hit the wrong one? Or maybe they are messing with us: :^o Just a little comic relief!!

the emoji tweet plus @carolinaman123 makes me think something is up… I wouldnt trust either of them alone but it seems sorta werid they both happened within an hour of each other.

After doing much research the times they have been released in the past 5 years were no later than 3:30. This is so frustrating that they don’t just say decisions won’t be out today so we can all stop speculating.

It just seems unlikely that they would do it when the admissions office is closed.

It is also weird that they haven’t been replying to student’s tweets since they tweeted the emoji. It has been 2 hours

I’m sure I’ll check a couple more times tonight, but it seems today is not the day

With each passing minute I’m less and less convinced that results will come out today.

Maybe with the ice storms and working from home it’s taking them a while to upload the decisions on a 14.4K modem. :-?

@bens398 zero chance with that SAT

the admissions twitter has driven me crazy today! if decisions aren’t up now, I doubt tonight is the night.

Yesterday I asked my college counselor at my school when he thought decisions would be released, and his guess was next week sometime in the middle of the week. Last year, decisions were released on a Wednesday, if I’m not mistaken. Literally any day now!

From their website…

First-Year Students

Admission

31,953 applied
9,510 admitted (30% of all students applying; 52% of NC applicants; 19% of out-of-state applicants)
4,076 enrolled (43% of all students admitted; 60% of NC admits; 21% of out-of-state admits)

Academics

1st in high-school class 8% (of those whose schools reported rank)
1st or 2nd in high-school class 14%
Top 10% of high-school class 77%

25th-75th percentiles * (Middle 50 percent)
—SAT Critical Reading 600-710
—SAT Math 620-720
—SAT Writing 590-700
—ACT Composite 28-33

So… 1810 to 2130 SAT is middle 50 percent. Good Luck!
