@millong and @aquariusmoon are you Wake Co. residents, by chance? My DS was deferred EA, and waitlisted as well. He accepted spot on waitlist.
No, we leave on the coast in Brunswick County.
Any idea when waitlisted applicants would hear back?
To redeem the laptop grant, I just need to place the order, right? Also, I have to pay the extra money if I want a more expensive laptop and not the money covered by the grant?
Does the laptop grant include tax?
@theboyoverthere Yes if you want a more expensive one you need to pay the rest out of your pocket over the grant. I cannot remember when my son got his, but he picked a more expensive one and it cost us an additional $400 out of pocket. What you can do is put your computer in the cart like you are buying it and see what it totals. That way you can see if you can afford it.
It is great to get the computer from the school because if it breaks they give you a loaner to use.
Does anybody know when waitlisted applicants typically hear back?
@davy901 I think it can be anytime between now and June 30th. I know of a neighbor who found out in mid June. I’m curious how they notify those accepted from the waitlist. Still an email with instructions to check the portal?
@my3sonshines I’m not sure, but I’m really hoping to make it off the UNC waitlist :\
It’s literally my last life line
@davy901 This evening my son received word from UNC that he was not admitted. This was after being deferred then waitlisted. He got an email with instructions to check the portal. Best wishes to you! My son is feeling good about the school he will be attending.
