UNC Class of 2020 EA Discussion Thread

Do you guys think that the snow will delay them until the 30th or do you think they will release tomorrow?

-Was UNC your first choice? No
-Will you go? Maybe
-What other EA schools did you get into? UMIn

  • Which one will you choose? Will it be UNC? If top 3=no, UNC will be a yes
    -Why yes, why no? Yes because great for program, beautiful campus, great education; no, because high cost for OOS, and schools better for my majors
  • If no, what did the other schools have over UNC? Better for major, lower tuition, ones better imo: UCLA, Berkeley, Cornell; it’s equal to UCSD for me.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought they posted on twitter that the snow day did not delay them? @as9934

yeah so I go to unc, and they were definitely delayed by the snow. decisions were supposed to come out today

UNC CH is certainly my first choice public school ( I’m instate), accepted to four other OOS public schools.
Will certainly attend if I don’t get into any private schools I’ve applied RD to.

@winikoff so are decisions coming out tomorrow for sure even though they were delayed?

@winikoff UNC Admissions twitter said the snow did not delay. I would trust them and past patterns of events to conclude that decisions are going to be out tomorrow

Does anyone know what time???

-Was UNC your first choice? - Not my first, but definitely one that I would consider attending (but the final decision depends on how RD goes as well as scholarships and the like)
-Will you go? - Possibly, see the first answer
-What other EA schools did you get into? - Not done hearing back from them, but some of them are ones like UT Austin, Baylor, Barretts Honors (ASU honors program)

  • Which one will you choose? Will it be UNC? - See the first one again :stuck_out_tongue: I would like for Stanford or Wustl though as some of my top choices
    -Why yes, why no? - I don’t know yet :stuck_out_tongue:
  • If no, what did the other schools have over UNC? - Just better in general in regards to what I want to do/study, stronger focuses in my areas of interest, more resources, etc

-Was UNC your first choice? - No, but it’s certainly not my last. I applied to 5 schools - Clemson, UNC, Duke, UCLA and Berkeley, with Clemson being my main safety and UNC being a high safety/low match.
-Will you go? - At this point it honestly depends on what the other schools do. I’m certain that if I get into UNC that I would attend it over Clemson, but Duke is a different story.
-What other EA schools did you get into? - UNC was my only EA school.

  • Which one will you choose? Will it be UNC? - I would like to go to Duke if I get the scholarship I’m looking at (NC math contest), but that’s fairly unlikely.
    -Why yes, why no? - UNC is so much more affordable than Duke or the UCs.
  • If no, what did the other schools have over UNC? - Duke is my top choice (I’m a former Duke TiP student, I have two grandparents who attended duke, Duke’s generally higher ranked) but with such a high price tag and low acceptance rate, I see no shame in joining the [url= <a href=“http://www.dukerejects.com%5Dwww.DukeRejects.com%5B/url”>http://www.dukerejects.com]www.DukeRejects.com[/url] club.

@Nikos87
-Was UNC your first choice? Definitely!
-Will you go? Of course. I will enroll (if I get in) once I hear back from my other colleges, just to be safe.
-What other EA schools did you get into? I only applied to UNC and NCSU early and NCSU doesn’t come out until Jan. 31.

  • Which one will you choose? Will it be UNC? Tarheel for life!
    -Why yes, why no? I’ve been a Tarheel since birth! I was invited to several programs at Carolina this school year and fell in love with the school. My county also pays the tuition for every student that attends college in-state for all four years. An amazing school plus an $8,000 discount, how could I say no?
was the active 'search for classes' tab previously there on the extreme right (along with holds, to do, list, enrollment dates, program advisor?.... I think I'm already hallucinating !!!!

Yes!!! @Puchku

@Puchku Yes, those have always been there, both for me and for a friend who applied for RD.

Si I indeed am hallucinating…I need a good sleep… :-S

@agc1998 when you hear admission people talking about the snow messing up the decisions schedule you tend to not trust twitter

I don’t know for sure, but I would be shocked if the decisions did not come by 6:00 PM today. The way all of my friends from high school are getting their emails about their decisions not yet being available is pretty much the same as last years admissions times when I was accepted. no promises tho

From the email posted on here earlier, I read that it was set to be released at 4pm today

Pretty sure today’s the day. Good luck to everyone, you all deserve good news. I’m OOS so I’m not expecting too much, but an acceptance would be sweet!

Good luck everyone!! I hope we can all officially be Tar Heels at the end of the day!
