UNC Class of 2020 EA Discussion Thread

Did anyone else get their FA award? I was really disappointed with how little I was given, especially as an OOS student. UNC costs twice as much as the other schools I’ve already been accepted to, so it’s definitely off my list.

@a20171 I was accepted OOS with a 2040 SAT-- quit your worrying and enjoy the spring!

@stargoat Check the laptop grant link in Connect Carolina again. It loaded today.

@FKAtwigs Does yours say the amount of money? Mine just tells me which package is covered

@jasishere yup, down to the exact dollar.

@FKAtwigs Where does it say that? I think I might be going slightly crazy because I can’t find it!
This is what mine says:

@jasishere oh I’m sorry! I thought you meant my financial aid package! But no, it doesn’t say how much money for the package. It will be the lowest laptop package they offer to students for sure. I’m gonna end up paying extra to get a MacBook.

@FKAtwigs Oh okay! That makes sense. Sorry for the confusion!

@FKAtwigs thanks for thinking of me! I got the full grant! Definitely leaning more toward Chapel Hill as a result

Anyone know when decisions come out for deferred students?

@collegebound1516 from other threads, it appears UNC has yet to send the usual instructions email. (The one they sent a day before EA release.) That suggests RD decisions won’t be released until sometime next week. Sorry. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Deferred comes out after the r.d. deadline

Deferred decisions come at same time as RD.

I mean if you are deferred and then you must wait for those accepted to decline their spot and open up for a deferred.

@jtut2006 If you are deferred you are now part if the RD pool and your decision will come out with RD. If you are wait-listed then you have to wait and see if a spot opens up.

Yea that aounds right. Too much Cell Biology Im starring at right now. :open_mouth:

I got an email on how to check the status of my application (I was deffered initially) but when I log in I’m still deffered. Did anyone get the email that says to check your application status?

The email is sent out to everyone a day before the decisions are released. Since the email was sent last night, the decisions for deferred applicants should be out today, probably around 4 pm.

Soooooo for us RD folk do you guys think it’ll be out today? 17 more minutes…
