This makes sense since last year they only accepted 167 off the waitlist. Thanks for the info.

I called the admissions office directly to ask.
Yes, all of them (“less than 150”) were notified.

Congratulations! Did they give you a timeframe within which to accept their offer off the waitlist?

Hey so I got waitlisted regular decision on March 25th and the only deadline they officially gave me was by June 30th. I did however send in my letter of continued interest to them within like 3 days of getting the waitlist notification. Then we got the email on May 10th with really no warning.

47

So they did not give you a deadline to accept your waitlist admission? You have until June 30th to decide if you want to accept admission? Thanks in advance!

48

oh sorry I misunderstood your question they did give me a deadline it was 2 weeks to accept the offer and we’d hear back at the latest by June 30th.

Anyone know if UNC did the second wave from waitlist? Are they even doing it this year?

51

I have no idea but I figure if they had 150 spots for those on the waitlist and they made those offers a couple of weeks ago - for sure they did not all accept. I am sure they will have more offers to make but we can never know when.

I sent them an email today and received back the generic answer about June 30th being the last day.

I heard some transfer (not first year) students got acceptances this week from the transfer waitlist. I was hoping for another round of first year waitlist acceptances, too. Anyone have news?

56

Does anyone know if UNC will release Second wave for First years any time soon?

57

Second wave has already been sent. I called and asked.

58

Does anyone know if they will update your portal if they decide to reject you at the end?

59

Thanks BookerNC.

5 days ago you mentioned that they did transfer waitlist review. Do you know when they did 2nd wave for First Years?

I’m sorry, no. I assume it would have been last week. They said they would follow the same protocol as last time. Release waitlist invitations. Give everybody two weeks to respond. Then release the next wave of invitations if they have any more seats available. They reiterated that June 30 would be the final date.
