<p>when did notifications start last year? it says on or around the 15th but im just curious</p>
<p>last year: january 4.
so looking at the calendar, I am hoping for jan 2 or 9th.(UNC normally sends them out on fridays)
but who knows. they say that they had an increase in the amount of applicants</p>
<p>I really hope its right after christmas break lol january 15th is too long</p>
<p>sounds like it'll be close to the 15th
UNC</a> Admissions Blog</p>
<p>@swoopes2: Thanks for the link to the blog, that was really helpful :) I didn't know there was such a thing</p>
<p>15th is too far away.........</p>
<p>I knowww I can't wait.
Just tell me now. either way. haha</p>
<p>I completely agree! I wish they would let us know for the holidays!</p>
<p>I think the reason they wait for several weeks after most people who apply early find out is so people who applied ED to other places (and were consequently accepted) have a chance to withdraw their UNC apps and make room for people who otherwise would have been deferred. But that's just my logic.</p>
<p>^ohh that makes sense. and they'd have higher yield then too.</p>
<p>ohh yeah. that does make sense.
quite insightful haha</p>
<p>I guess that helps more people get accepted then if some would have withdrawn, so I guess it's better for us that we're waiting. I just hate it. hah</p>
