@SatanFlower69 if they wanted to they could because you’re missing materials. Your transcript will probably reach them in a week though. You are fine. Gl
@dkahfdfhk Thank you! Think my nerves are a bit jangled since there’s nothing to do but wait now. ?
@SatanFlower69 ahh thanks for the clarification
backing off of your question though, i didn’t submit my official college transcripts through common app. if i do that now will it update my application? or should i sent the transcripts directly to the university?
@justicebeaver honestly I’m not certain. I sent them to both because I wasn’t sure if sending it to Common App only would update mycarolina.
@SatanFlower69 The website says transcripts can get there up to 2-3 weeks late. https://admissions.unc.edu/apply/transfer-students/
Mine won’t even get sent out till next week since my HS on a break.
When did you submit though… I haven’t gotten a link to my portal or anything yet.
@justicebeaver I don’t think you have to send through common app. I only sent mine to the schools so hoping that’s enough. I read that after the time it takes to mail to Common App, it can take them up to 10 days to submit them to schools so it’s not worth the wait to me.
@california203 I submitted 01/30 and had the application next steps email 01/31.
I thought once the transcripts were received through Common App they became part of each individual application like every other document? It costs $ for each transcript sent so I assumed submitting them once to Common App was the better option. But if I end up having to submit them to Common App plus each university later then what the heck…ugh I’m tired of this whole process.
couple of questions if anyone knows the answer. Does anyone know how long it takes for recommendations to show up in common app after the recommender sends them in? And I submitted my application 2/17 how long will it take to get the email about setting up MyCarolina?
@Starfoxx87 I can help with the first question. Recommendation showed up immediately when submitted. Professor sent me an email notice that she completed the submission that day but Common App had already notified me via email it was there.
For the second question not sure…its possible that the emails are not being sent as fast as I received mine because more people are submitting around this time than when I did. But that is just a theory. I would give it maybe five business days then contact admissions.

This is where I found it, near the bottom is says it can take 7-10 business days after they receive it for them to be posted. I think once they get it, you don’t have to send any to schools but I didn’t want to risk not making the deadline
@california203 thank you so much! Huge relief.

To those that have not received your email about MyCarolina (Like myself) this was the response I got when I contacted admissions. Seems like there was a problem with sending out the emails if you submitted right before the deadline.
“Hi - Thanks for your interest in Carolina and thank you for reaching out! We’re sorry that your MyCarolina email didn’t come through as planned. The quickest way to get it fixed will be to call our office at (919) 966-3621. They’ll be able to ask you a few questions, pull up your application details, and help fix the issue. Thanks again!”
@Starfoxx87 bruh i called them & the lady who answered was like, “please give us three to FIVE business days to send you that info.” so i guess i’ll see what happens tomorrow lol
@justicebeaver Did you finally get your MyCarolina login email? Mine finally came at 8:30pm tonight.
@Starfoxx87 i did ! it also came in at around 8:30

If anyone still has documents or checklist items that haven’t been updated to green in mycarolina no need to stress. (unless its been like weeks and then maybe reach out to admissions) UNC seems to be really quick with receiving docs and updating the list. Once my transcript was mailed they had it checked off within four business days. 100% complete now, woohoo!
Seriously, this application process is wearing me out. Thankful to be done with every app today. Wishing you all the best of luck going forward.
