UNC Class of 2020 EA Discussion Thread

If you buy in to the US News rankings, both U Mich (#4) and UNC (#7) are highly regarded for undergraduate business degrees. Between U Mich, UNC and UVA, all are great choices. Hard to go wrong.

And if we are all honest with ourselves, there’s lots of great options outside of the so-called “top” schools.

waiting on that email any day now…

“If you buy in to the US News rankings, both U Mich (#4) and UNC (#7) are highly regarded for undergraduate business degrees. Between U Mich, UNC and UVA, all are great choices. Hard to go wrong.”

I would imagine Geography (location) and weather, subdisciplines, and such would matter more than us news rankings when schools are that close. Also if one can get into UNC OOS I would think Berkeley would be likely and if rankings is your thing they are higher.

“I would imagine Geography (location) and weather, subdisciplines, and such would matter more than us news rankings when schools are that close.”

Yeah @anon145 , I tend to think each school’s reputation will carry more weight in its geographic back yard.

do we definitely get an email the day before about how to view your decision?

Yes, definitely you will get an email between 18 and 48 hours before decisions. Closer to 18 to 24 hours to be precise.

Reading this threat makes me feel so inferior to so many of you! Congrats to those accepted to U of Mich, UVA, and/or other awesome schools! I hope you’ll hear more good news soon! Fingers crossed for all of us :slight_smile:

Okay, so after doing some searching/asking, I found that the instruction email was sent 6:30 P.M. the day before decisions were released. Not sure if that set a precedent, but if decisions are being released tomorrow, we may get an email at 6:30 tonight.

The suspense is killing me…

You’re not the only one @andrewnaz19

does anyone know is EA students get deferred because they let us know so late compared to other EA schools?

@agc1998 looking at their blog for the past 2 years, the instructions were posted the day before at 2:56 pm last year and 4:04 pm the year before. So we are past that time now and still no update on the blog :frowning:

@twentysixteen20 I think the one silver lining of UNC’s late EA release date is that applicants accepted to other schools under an early decision process may have withdrawn their application to UNC by this point. Hopefully that gives everyone else a little better shot.

@greeny8 the email itself was sent at 6:30

@agc1998 I understand, just saying that the blog was up before the email and since no blog yet…

My sister forwarded me this information … In 2014, the decisions were supposed to be posted on 1/31. On 1/29, she got the following email at 6:44 pm explaining what to expect. She checked her Connect Carolina account the next day and the decision was there. Hope this helps!

Only the “student center” section of ConnectCarolina is under maintenance… Everywhere else on the portal works, but NOT the place where admissions decisions are handled… hmmmm

If only UNC would tell us the exact date they are releasing decisions like NC state does…it would make me not as stressed!!!

@agc1998 hmmmmm, fishy stuff. Btw Loveless is a great album. 10/10. I think decisions will come out tomorrow or friday, not sure though. So much suspense!!! Good luck guys.

@agc1998, Interesting, the studentCenter was working an hour ago !! Something might me coming. I want to believe…
