I haven’t gotten an email yet ughhhh
Hey all,
I am a current UNC student. I remember being in the same boat last year. We got that very same email and received our decisions on Friday. Whatever happens in terms of decisions, it’ll be alright. I am wishing you all the best of luck! Don’t stress too much.
It’s worth remembering that any person or organization making thousands of decision will make mistakes. If you’re right 98% of the time that’s an amazing batting average which results in 700 mistakes from 35,000 applications. 350 kids accepted who really shouldn’t and 350 crazy-a$$ rejections. (or whatever) This is particularly true at a school with a holistic process. This is on top of decisions that could legitimately go either way.
Many (most) people posting have applied to other fine schools so it isn’t UNC vs the joining the Army. You’re going someplace great! Friday will be here before you know it.
wait my email said this "Although we don’t know exactly when we’ll be able to release all early-action decisions, we know that we won’t be able to release them today or tomorrow. " i dont think we are getting a decision friday…
@aimivan That same type of email went out and the admission decisions were communicated to students on the every days that the admissions people said it would not be sent?
thewait123, that email leaves Friday open. They specifically say that they will not be releasing decisions today or tomorrow.
Appreciate the reality check @gandalf78 and @twogirls. Our OOS applicant has a mixed record by these standards and we know it’s as big a reach as any Ivy.
Has anyone else not received an email yet?
@Bella2018 Well, I haven’t.
It’s not quite as reachy as an Ivy… but it is still reachy.
@Taylorwicks I think the best way to calm people down…is to let them know that they will be fine regardless of whether they gain acceptance. I believe that the process works and everybody really ends up happy ( for the most part- there are exceptions). Stating acceptance stats that are not typical does not do much to calm people down… in my opinion.
My D applied to be an Emory Scholar. She was told by everybody not to worry… she has a great chance etc. Well she got into Emory but did not make Scholars. The shock was not to be believed… everybody told her that kids like her make scholars. It took hours and hours to console her.
It’s best to be realistic…
Is anyone else getting financial aid emails this evening? My son just got am email about incomplete financial aid. Confusing because my husband filled in a FAFSA form and submitted it.
Did you complete the CSS profile? That is required.
No, I guess that’s the issue then Thank you.
No problem…
yes @thewait123
@percussionboymo I received a financial aid email today as well. I did my fafsa and css in october and they received it so its not that.
Breakfeastclub1234567890, did you get a second email regarding the reporting of outside aid?
@percussionboymo yes.
I shouldn’t get people’s hopes up but the financial aid office told me that financial aid requests only went to accepted students.
good luck
What if you didn’t apply for financial aid? Would you still be getting an email if you were accepted? @byadg123 or anyone else that knows!!
