UNC Class of 2023 EA Discussion Thread

Mark Twain, I heard that too. My school counselor got an email from UNC Chapel Hill stating that because they have so many apps compared to other years, they’re gonna move it back to Monday. I wouldn’t be surprised if they pushed it back after Monday too though.

But i have also heard that it will come out today

it will come out today no doubt.

You’re definitely wrong. You don’t know any more than us, and the admissons officers already emailed our counselors so that’s more real information. You just want to run away from the truth @kxsmxs29

I think and hope that it comes out today, especially because, in the past, they have sent out the same email in the same time frame. Also it would be kind of inconsiderate if they sent out the email same as last year, but then pushed the date back without saying so

I don’t know if this was said by someone else previously but I got an email from the admissions office on Wednesday that said they wouldn’t be sending out decisions on Thursday or on Friday. has something changed since then?

@BL3001 i believe that email was for Wednesday and Thursday

You all are worrying me now… really hope it comes out today.

MODERATOR’S NOTE:
The speculations about “I heard…” "someone told me…"etc brings to mind a quote from SpongeBob, “Why, once I met this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy’s cousin…”

Or, from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off;: “My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it’s pretty serious.”

The decisions will be released when the decisions are released. Anything not posted on the admissions website, in an email from admissions, etc., is just reading the tea leaves. Please refrain from asking for proof.

To put things in perspective, I am told that in the olden days before the magma cooled and while dinosaurs roamed the earth, kids had to wait by a thing called a mailbox until a person dressed in blue walked up at an unspecified date and time with an envelope containing their decisions. :slight_smile: Patience is a virtue. I wish you all luck.

will they email to let us know when decisions are released?

The email was sent to applicants on Wed and it said “not today or tomorrow.” So that’s why today (Friday) seems most likely.
Also all applicants are looking at this only from their side of the coin - the most important side to the AOs is the yield. They need to fill all their subsets (athletes, Morehead, URM, etc) but also can’t afford to have 500 extra or 500 less students than their target number. This is a business at the end of the day and dramatic variations have severe impacts.
Thus, when they look at certain schools and school districts, they give acceptances based on their best guess as to how many will attend by using the percentage of previous years accepted students attendance numbers. I’ve alluded to my daughter’s IS private school numbers.
71/117 were accepted or 61% acceptance rate but only 22/71 attended so the yield is only 31%. Also, in all these schools assume the acceptance rate is higher than what Naviance is showing because kids accepted ED have pulled their applications…
With an average IS yield at 61% last year (which higher in some schools than others) they can only take so many students if such a high percentage of those accepted attend.

You will know because this site will probably explode. :))

sorry that was referring to the earlier post about enrollment list, she never saw that

They will email us but it may be slightly delayed from when the decision appears on your portal, so I would check periodically starting at 3:30 (ET)

@BL3001 I think that email meant that they wouldn’t be sending out decisions on Wednesday or Thursday bc they said “not today or tomorrow”

Not believing this “it will come out Monday” stuff. Since they sent that email out, it will most definitely be out today.

@speedyturtle12 one can only hope…

What time today if it comes out today?

If last years posts on CC are any guide, around 330-335 people started to post their results

@Acortez122 I’ve heard speculation about 12, 3, and 4.So I’d periodically check the portal or this thread if you want to be right on top of when it comes out.
