<p>What time (eastern) do decision come out on the 31st?</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, they seem to have come out during the early afternoon in previous years.</p>
<p>Somewhere on the admissions blog it said that because of the new system they aren’t actually sure what time decisions will come out that Sunday, but only that they will go out.</p>
<p>According to Dr. Meredith,</p>
<p>They will be staggered. Since they can’t have all 13,000 applicants going onto the
server at once, he said that the decisions will be posted at different times.</p>
<p>For example, you might get your decision posted on Sunday morning and your friend down the street could get it in the afternoon.</p>
<p>It doesn’t go alphabetically; it may have something to do with the pin number.</p>
<p>Hope we all hear something good :)</p>
<p>^^ where did you hear that? is it online or something?</p>
<p>My decision was already posted.</p>
<p>Years ago. Haha</p>
<p>Explicitly from admissions blog</p>
<p>“First-deadline decisions will be posted online at the same time.”</p>
<p>Mr. Meredith told us in person today that the decisions will be staggered.</p>
<p>that’s so stupid we all STILL will be going on at the same time (12:00 am Sunday) unless we individually find out what time to go on to check OUR decisions. So the server will still crash.</p>
<p>Whose Mr. Meredith and where can I find anything to confirm this?</p>
<p>He works in the admissions office, and he spoke to us today at Tarheel Shadow.</p>
<p>If they’re worried about their servers, they should just send an admissions email. Or, send an “email notification” to tell people to check their MyUNC at each of the postings. (So people would know when to check, and the emails could be spaced out in hour intervals as the decisions were posted)</p>
<p>That pretty much means people are just going to be checking ALL DAY.</p>
<p>At least I am.</p>
<p>Me too… so I don’t see the point!</p>
<p>I swear, UNC does more things to be unfair every day haha. First the phone calls, now some guy telling people that things are staggered(ie check all day). grrr, I’m just anxious. I really need this all to be over haha.</p>
<p>same JAJdude!</p>
<p>Come on you guys. It is just a few more days, Mr. Meredith said today at Tar Heel Shadow that will be staggered. For all you know yours might come out sooner than later. We just have to be patient.</p>
<p>^Then why in the hell don’t they tell us this in an e-mail/on the blogs. I mean, not every UNC applicant has a college confidential account you know lol. I’m honestly getting anxious bordering on frustrated with UNC for all of these double standards. Maybe once I get a result(admit, deny, defer) I can feel more at peace.</p>
<p>Just to clarify, my post was a suggestion, not a gripe. The servers for Elon crashed for about an hour when I tried to see my decision in December, so I started brainstorming since I’m a nerd, and crashing servers make me sad.</p>
<p>What double standard? Just be happy UNC offers EA at all; most colleges do not.</p>
