UNC Class of 2022 EA Discussion Thread

@waiting2022 my son has not received the email about submitting mid year grades yet. We have been wondering about it as well.

Son got the mid term grade email today.

@vistajay I guess I should have had him look again before I typed my comment. My son’s came as well. Thank you. :slight_smile:

@twogirls They were $400 below my FAFSA EFC, but the area where we live is extraordinarily expensive and my parents have a huge mortgage payment, which is reflected on the CSS (I guess they didn’t really look at it for me) I am submitting an appeal about that, and then also explaining my special circumstances for this year. It doesn’t look like UNC is going to be possible for me at all right now unless I want to take on $80,000+ in student loan debt or miraculously get the Robertson scholarship.

@lesjubilants … a huge mortgage payment will not qualify you for a reconsideration. You mentioned other special circumstances… I would call and ask about that specifically.

@twogirls My dad’s unemployed, so that’s the special circumstance. Otherwise I asked the financial aid office to give me my full federal Stafford loan amount (which they didn’t originally) and emphasized that I can pay, at max, $30,000 a year.

^ you need to call and discuss this with them… tomorrow. You will have to pay your EFC… but with unemployment maybe they will do a reconsideration… depending. I would call.

@Pastpower thank you so much for your help! Looking forwards to crossing paths with you at UNC one day :slight_smile:

Has anyone received anything in the mail from UNC? Usually colleges send the admission letters in the mail as well as online

My D received her acceptance letter in the mail today. She got her Honors mailed letter earlier this week.

Congratulations to all of you who got accepted! I am a now completing my first year at UNC-CH and look forward to welcoming the incoming class of Carolina scholars. #GoHeels!
