UNC Class of 2020 EA Discussion Thread

In another thread, there was a discussion of a possible indicator on the Connect Carolina portal. Under the “pay bills/manage student finances” it leads me to another page with my account on it. However, when my friend who also applied clicked on the link, it did not lead him to the same page. Not sure if it is a true indicator or system error.

@itsyaboyf it leads me to a page with my account on it but there’s nothing on the account. An account does show up for me, nevertheless

actually I just tried again and the finances page is different! Ignore my last post

@TX2016 what’s different?

When I click on it I get the “student account home” page that you said you got earlier @agc1998

I find it strange that 1. they would allow everyone to have access to this when 70% of all applicants will be rejected and find it useless and 2. it says student account. Seems like it might be something

@renegade23 I agree. I know I am getting rejected because of my low test scores and I’m out of state so I don’t think it means anything about if we got in or not

I think it is related to simply activating the page/feature/capability in the portal for all students - prospective or current. That being said, I would not mind being wrong at all.

i don’t have any changes… i don’t get directed to another page

@collegenerd76 That is strange. It seems from your post on the other thread that you can see the new link but nothing happens when you select it. That happened to me as well and I had to disable my pop up blocker in Chrome two different times. It also does not seem to pop up the new page on my mobile devices. Have you tried a different browser?

@karlmarx2020 i just tried it in Chrome - and I finally got redirected to another page! Weird that it did not work in Safari. But thank you!

It doesn’t mean anything. It didn’t redirect me while I was using safari. Then I tried chrome and enabled pop ups and it did redirect me. I also seem to remember something on the U of Miami page about how there were problems when people were trying to pay through safari.

guys, 5 more days

maybe sooner! Last year it came out on a Wednesday and the year before a Thursday

I hope it comes out on Friday. I won’t be able to do any homework if it’s on a school night.

does anyone know what days of the week decisions have been posted over the last couple of years?

You all are stressing too much. Clearly the decisions will be out this week, so worst case is that you have four more days

I think we can take a deep breath because it looks like decisions won’t be out for a few more days. Highly unlikely today as there has been no post about instructions to check, and I also think tomorrow is out of the question because Connect Carolina is scheduled for an outage from 5 pm to 12 am.

@carolinagirl922 could be that they’re loading decisions during that outage time…? Out of curiosity, where did you see that there is an outage? My bet is Wednesday is the day.

Does anyone know what time the decisions have been released around?
