UNC Class of 2020 RD Thread

@college7465 People suspect Thursday but there has been no announcement yet.

Judging from the last few admission decision dates it’s reasonable to believe they can be out as early as this Thursday. From what I can tell, at least for IS applicants, results are typically made available on Thursdays or Fridays from 5pm-7pm. I highly doubt that decisions would be made available on Friday due to it being Good Friday and it’s hard to believe that they would be released after that Friday considering it will be Spring Break for most NC public schools. This is all just speculation but I’m willing to bet that Thursday will be the day.

I am also an IS applicant, and from what I heard a lot of people are assuming it’s this Thursday, and if not then the next.

@Jackoa123 are you saying that in the EA pool they mostly decide what they will do with IS applicants and then the RD pool is used mostly for decisions on OOS applicants? Because as an OOS applicant that would make me feel a lot better.

Thank you guys. I am so scared 2150 sat and 3.68 gpa (really strong upward gpa) The average accepted from my school (OOS) is 3.87 and 2180 sat

@GlennRobinsonIII Yes and no. They obviously don’t provide this much detail about their admissions process but I know from looking at statistics that a) they get more OOS than IS applicants and b) a good portion of those in RD are OOS. It would make sense to me that a lot of OOS get deferred to RD since they want to compare to the whole pool; essentially they have a lot wider range for their deferrals than IS. IS deferred kids are probably more true bubble students since they’ve already compared to the vast majority of the IS students they’ve accepted (like 5,000+ in EA) whereas a deferred OOS in EA could very easily make the cut, they just want to be positive since they haven’t seen everyone. That’s why I said RD is typically the OOS pool, because the vast majority of IS students they want already applied, and they defer a bunch of OOS to RD to compare.

Hello, all! I’m really glad there’s a thread for this, otherwise I’d be over here pulling out my hair on my lonesome.

Hey guys! I tweeted to UNC Chapel Hill directly to their official twitter account regarding their notification date and they responded saying this ‘Decisions for completed Regular Decision applications will be released by the end of March, but there’s no set date.’

ugh

Hi, everyone! I am new to this thread, but have been following it for quite a while. I also applied RD to UNC as an OOS student. I wish you all luck these next few days with the admissions decisions! I don’t know about you guys, but I am so nervous! I want to go to UNC so bad!

@gabrielamarie Thank you. I wish you all the best and hope you get in.

@Slayeraven Yeah they say that all the time, even the day of the release during EA.

Hopefully we all get an email from around 4-7pm today which will mean we get the decisions tomorrow. I’m guessing most of y’all are OOS, but good luck! As an IS with siblings at the school, I know a lot about it if you have any questions.

Ok whose ready for some March Madness tomorrow??? Go UNC and Oregon!!!

Hey! Glad I found this discussion because the anticipation is killing me. I got deferred IS as well. The official Twitter account has resumed posting their “descions will be released by the end of March but there is no set date” responses. Correct me if I’m wrong but I seem to recall the account going completely inactive in the 48 hrs or so leading up to the release of decisions in January. Could this mean that maybe we won’t get our decisions tomorrow? Maybe I’m just overthinking things. Best of luck to everybody, I feel your pain. Go Heels!

@oscan2775 I feel like I remember a lot of people trying to decrypt their tweets the couple days before decisions were released. I also feel like they tweeted something like “hang in there, decisions will be out very soon” on the day they were released. I could be remembering it wrong

I can’t wait another week!!!

i think decisions will be up by friday

Hey everyone, OOS RD applicant here! I’m dying to find out about UNC too. Wanted to let you guys know that I got an email from the Robertson Scholars program just now about events for finalist weekend in two weeks, and I heard that that email usually correlates with RD decisions coming out (kids have to know if they’re accepted or not to attend Finalist weekend). I hope this means good things for us!! I know we’re all anxious. Best of luck to all of you!!

The fact that nobody has posted on here about receiving that “day before” email leads me to believe that decisions will not come out tomorrow

what is the day before email
