[merry spire]

UNC is for people who can’t afford duke bruh that shit is expensive

[strong nimbus]

[spring current]

I don’t know chief. How are you feeling about Duke? Is today your last day of decisions?

[spring current]

“Duke is puke, Wake is fake, NC State is the school I hate.” (Go UNC)

[wintry grove]

Berk EECS better so dont really care about pratt but an acceptance would be nice

[narrow reef]

Yes and SO SO SCARED

[merry spire]

Bunch of people just don’t bother applying bc they can’t afford duke and they give shit aid 🤷‍♀️

[strong nimbus]

oh ok

[wintry grove]

[strong nimbus]

[strong nimbus]

[narrow reef]

The campus is way too tiny

[strong nimbus]

lmfao

UIUC

[narrow reef]

Middle of nowhere and didn’t apply

I like emory a lot

[strong nimbus]

whats ur major

[spring current]

Nice 😃

[narrow reef]

Business

[merry spire]

Wake is too small

Like 2k undergrad 😭

[strong nimbus]

ohmakes sense then it would have been a diff case if u were engineering or cs

[narrow reef]

Small is good in some ways

[spring current]

I’m probably going to UNC

[spring current]

My high school is bigger homedog

[narrow reef]

My highschool is bigger than urs I think

[spring current]

I wouldn’t doubt that

[narrow reef]

@spring current ur getting into duke too

[spring current]

I really really really hope so but my hopes aren’t high

We got this though

If not I have some soul searching to do

[narrow reef]

Same here man

[spring current]

College apps have wrecked my mental health so I’m leaving this damn Discord the second I get a chance

For at least a few weeks to process things

[narrow reef]

FR

[spring current]

No like, it’s the end of my senior year already and all I did was think about college apps

Miserable year low key

[narrow reef]

Agreed

[spring current]

I spent last night getting it through my head that I can succeed wherever I am

and that UNC isn’t a bad school

[fluid anchor]

UNC needs to offer aid to intls cuz this acceptance doesn’t even allow me to attend 😭😭

[fluid anchor]

can we stop? like unc was my dream school before this, but so many people saying stuff like this is making me feel terrible. let’s face it, unc is amazing

[zinc plover]

Unc is a wonderful school!! They're in the best possible position in America too

A rapidly growing tech/business/bio hub that's not oversaturated with people

Meaning opportunities are easy to come by and hard to get boxed out of

[tame quartz]

for anyone that applied early action, did you lose access to mycarolina in the last week or so? i haven’t been able to access it and idk if anyone else has had the same problem

[spring current]

I didn’t slander UNC?

I was just coping with my rejections

[zinc plover]

No I still have access @tame quartz

[tame quartz]

all good. i figured out how to fix it haha

[pliant vapor]

Fuck Duke

UNC is better anyway

[spring current]

Factual

[fluid anchor]

UNC is a good school this server is just an echo chamber of elitists

It’s literally like your only option if you don’t wanna pay 300k and you live in NC

lmao

[fluid anchor]

yea go do that in general or rejections, and don’t say like you had to make peace with the fact you HAVE to go to UNC. They didn’t have to accept you lol

[spring current]

Where did I say that?

I’m sorry if my disappointment came off as being ungrateful to you, but that has no bearing on your experience with UNC. Don’t paint me as being your perpetrator just because you took what I said about myself personally.

And why can’t I say things like that in the channel that I’m talking to my friend in? Are you also going to tell me that I can’t mention my mental health struggles in here? Is that not good enough for the UNC thread?

[hexed musk]

Ah yes saying 'you're an ungrateful little ass'. That'll make everyone feel better

[stone ridge]

okay bro chill

to each their own

[stone ridge]

they did tho

i dont get why u guys are getting so angsty over this...just cuz its not good for someone else it doesnt mean they are insulting you...u dont need to take it so personally

its okay to feel salty that someone who doesnt want unc as bad as you got in whereas u didnt...well guess what life is unfair like that and it doesnt allow u to shit on someone else for it....baguette and i didnt get the unis we'd die for but we didnt make a big deal out of it when kids were being ungrateful for their acceptance

a bit immature nothing else

[wet spoke]

can someone send me a screenshot of their rejection letter /srs

my dad is a hardass who wants to send me to UNC but i dont wanna go so imma tell him i got rejected 🥲

[fluid anchor]

yea, honestly

[fluid anchor]

💀

[merry spire]

How’d you fix it cuz mine did the same thing

[stone ridge]

^^^

[tame quartz]

@merry spire @stone ridge you have to instead log in with [email protected] and use your conncetcarolina password. ig making a unc email account switches all your stuff over to your unc email. once you’re back in the portal you can switch it back to your personal email

[merry spire]

BOOO

[merry spire]

So what’s the email again? Is it@my onyen name or the numerical Id?

[tame quartz]

your onyen name

[merry spire]

So “my oyen name”@unc.Edu?

[spring current]

If you haven't committed then it's ad.unc.edu

[tame quartz]

it let me do @unc.edu and i’m no commited

[white jacinth]

Is anyone going to the Tar Heel reception for nyc? Also do you know if we bring parents or is it a student ordeal?

[stone ridge]

still didnt work

[merry spire]

^^

[merry spire]

Please help

[merry spire]

Discord!!

[spring current]

Hey what’s up? I can’t find your original question, sorry if I’m blind.

[merry spire]

Oh lol I was sending a link for 27 discord

But ig this server doesn’t let us

Still tho can’t get into my portal

[spring current]

oh DM me? 👀

[merry spire]

Gotchu

[spring current]

Which portal?

[merry spire]

Applicant portal

To accept admission

[spring current]

Okay, how did you get in to see that you were accepted?

[merry spire]

I got in normally when decisions came out

But NOW

it’s saying I don’t have an account?

I’ve figured out it’s because I made an ONYEN/MyCarolina but I still can’t figure out how to get back in regardless

[spring current]

Are you using your personal email and original password?

[merry spire]

I WAS

but then it said invalid

And when I tried to use forget password it says I don’t have an account??

Which makes no sense bc I’m getting admitted student mail for housing and shit

[spring current]

Okay, huh…

Have you called them?

[earnest sedge]

How do you do the commitment tag thing?

[fluid anchor]

Did you guys send the FAFSA and CSS profile to UNC?

[burnt rapids]

Ding!

Looks like someone's brought up quant again!

I think it’d be better if you analyzed some grass instead.

Used 557 times.

[gleaming gust]

could you dm me the link pls?

[stone ridge]

same

what do i do?

[merry spire]

No clue

[main cloud]

anyone know how difficult the cs admission is going to be? I am debating between state and unc for cs but ive heard terrible stuff about unc.

[merry spire]

If you’re 100% on cs go to state

State cs is really good

Did you get admitted into the major for state tho?

[spring current]

Meh... I don't think State CS is mountains better

[merry spire]

It’s pretty damn good tho

Though unc has name recognition

[spring current]

Well so is UNC's. NC State likes their spiel that "employers hire us first," but I heard the exact same thing at Campbell's engineering school: "Employers higher our grads before NC State grads." I have a feeling that State feeds to certain employers and Carolina others.

[merry spire]

I FIXED THE PORTAL

RAGHHH

[stone ridge]

howwww

also

im committing to unc guys lfg

[spring current]

Woohoo

[merry spire]

Call them

[fading verge]

Hey guys i'm unc '25 if anyone has any q's for me 🙂

[stone ridge]

yes i do

[stone ridge]

alrightt

[fluid anchor]

What’s the diversity like on campus?

[fluid anchor]

Diversity 💀

[crude night]

how’s the CS program

[fading verge]

I mean I think it's pretty diverse but I'm an orm so ymmv, i'd say check out the stats

There are lots of student organizations for minorities and stuff like that that a bunch of my friends are in and enjoy.

[fading verge]

I'm a chem major but I know there was a whole controversy with them making it so you had to apply when you didn't have to before. My friends that are in the program like it but I think it's pretty competitive.

[fading verge]

Go for it

[wooden ore]

I know a lot of people were upset about the admission requirements for CS but afaik not a lot of people were actually rejected

Like I know it's not a perfect representation but this is the only data available rn from the last admissions cycle: https://www.reddit.com/r/UNC/comments/zybpwp/computer_science_admission_results_out/

91/117 accepted ~ 77% acceptance rate

[earnest sedge]

Can I pm you? I committed to UNC and am going to major in chem

[stone ridge]

this gives an approximate idea at least

thanks a lottt

also, how difficult is it to get into business?

[stone ridge]

do you know any intl student studing there?

if possible, i'd like to talk to them too

[gleaming gust]

where you from

[brisk helm]

It’s like a 50% acceptance rate

[stone ridge]

india

[stone ridge]

i can work with that

[gleaming gust]

oh shit me too

where in india

[stone ridge]

mumbai

u?

[gleaming gust]

bangalore

[stone ridge]

nicee

do u plan to commit to unc?

[gleaming gust]

yeah most prolly

maybe today

will commit

was deciding between uiuc and unc

[stone ridge]

ahhh

[gleaming gust]

and am gonna apply for a couple waitlists

[stone ridge]

same here

[gleaming gust]

wbu

[stone ridge]

i was deciding between usc, unc and purdue

usc mad expensive, purdue location ass

so unc better

[gleaming gust]

what major

[stone ridge]

CS

and Finance if possible

[gleaming gust]

isnt purdue cs crazy tho

[stone ridge]

yee

but

my parents wont lemme go there

[gleaming gust]

lmfao

[stone ridge]

location safety etc

[brisk helm]

Lmao

[gleaming gust]

you committed yet?

[stone ridge]

the reputation aint good

[stone ridge]

not yet, mentally doing that now

cuz i had my dream program at usc

[brisk helm]

Indian parents act like everywhere is o block chicago

[stone ridge]

have to give it up cu of money

[brisk helm]

Overreact so much

[stone ridge]

truee

tho i talked to a current purdue alumni of my school, dude said there is no other form of enjoyment there other than partying

[gleaming gust]

thats mad actually

which waitlists are you doing

[stone ridge]

GT, Mich, umass and uci

[stone ridge]

had CS/BA😭😭😭

perfect combo of cs and biz with less work than a double major

[gleaming gust]

ah

[stone ridge]

should've been more poorer

or richer

[gleaming gust]

didnt apply for aid?

[stone ridge]

being in the middle range gives u no aid

[gleaming gust]

i swear

[brisk helm]

GT the best value school. UMich crazy expensive

[stone ridge]

still applied for aid so lets see

[stone ridge]

ik, was my dream school

[brisk helm]

Yea understandable

U apply to uiuc?

[gleaming gust]

i aint even apply to umich cuz it wouldnt make sense to go over purdue

[stone ridge]

with my stats i thought i'd get it, essays sucked prolly

[stone ridge]

yeah but i chose the wrong major on common app

[brisk helm]

Cause uiuc cs + x really isn’t too tough to get in

[stone ridge]

wrote my essay on cs+stats

and

chose cs

[brisk helm]

Makes sense. Purdue is amazing value for price. I respect them for being only university to not raise price in 12 years

[stone ridge]

cuz i didnt know there was an option for cs+stats therw😭

[brisk helm]

Bruh lol

[stone ridge]

could've gotten in now that i think of it

[brisk helm]

Tbf ik some actual rocks who got into uiuc

Who applied like cs + crop sciences lmao

[stone ridge]

😭😭😭

[brisk helm]

W scam

[stone ridge]

some of those combos are just

doesnt make sense😭

[brisk helm]

CS + animal science

Bro wtf do they have in common

[stone ridge]

all bs

[gleaming gust]

uiuc really good too

im choosing between uiuc and unc

[stone ridge]

do y'all know which housing intls usually go for at unc?

[gleaming gust]

prolly gonna go with unc tho

[brisk helm]

For cs?

[gleaming gust]

nah math

[brisk helm]

Ah interesting

[stone ridge]

still uiuc tho

[brisk helm]

Isn’t uiuc math hella good?

[stone ridge]

uiuc math cs engineering too good

unc wouldnt even compare

[gleaming gust]

yeah but im not sure how much flexibility itd give me

[stone ridge]

and uiuc location and shit is super cool too

[brisk helm]

UNC is goated for medicine and business

[gleaming gust]

and unc's location is better

[stone ridge]

true

[brisk helm]

Everything else is kinda mid

[gleaming gust]

idk ive been getting mixed responses

some pick uiuc

[brisk helm]

Pharmacy and journalism is #1 in nation also

[gleaming gust]

some pick unc

[stone ridge]

once both uni's location crosses a certain minimum threshold

it doesnt matter

uiuc and unc both cross that

[brisk helm]

Both respectable uni’s

[stone ridge]

yes def

as a technical kid

i'd say uiuc

for sure

[gleaming gust]

also

i think

unc's eco and business programs are stronger

so thats there too

[stone ridge]

yes def

[brisk helm]

UNC business clears uiuc by far lol

[stone ridge]

do u plan to chage ur major at unc?

[brisk helm]

That’s not even a debate

[gleaming gust]

nah

double major

[stone ridge]

in?

math and biz?

[gleaming gust]

math and eco maybe

[stone ridge]

smart

[gleaming gust]

but im also keeping math and cs as an option

thing is

[stone ridge]

cs should be alright to get in

[gleaming gust]

if i had gotten into math+cs at uiuc

[stone ridge]

im planning cs and finance

[gleaming gust]

id have gone

[stone ridge]

no doubt

[gleaming gust]

but getting cs classes at uiuc gonna be hard asf

if youre not a cs major that is

[stone ridge]

true

[brisk helm]

Borderline impossible

[stone ridge]

btw

[gleaming gust]

yeah

[brisk helm]

With how many cs + x majors they already have

[stone ridge]

do y'all know housing situation at unc?

[brisk helm]

It’s not too bad

[stone ridge]

idk where to start

[brisk helm]

Hinton James is party dorm

[gleaming gust]

are you in the class of 27 server?

[crude night]

hey joe can some major in CS+business at UNC

[stone ridge]

suggest good places or smtng

[stone ridge]

yee

[brisk helm]

Yea u can

[gleaming gust]

wait which one

[stone ridge]

thats my plan rn

[crude night]

nice nice

[stone ridge]

there is one right

[crude night]

business is very competitive there

[brisk helm]

Lotta morehead kids do that combo

[stone ridge]

pretty dead

[crude night]

probably a sub 30% admissions aye

rate

[brisk helm]

It’s 50%

[gleaming gust]

1 sec

[stone ridge]

ion like parties

[crude night]

isnt kenan flagler like super competitive or smth

[stone ridge]

whats morehead

[stone ridge]

its approx 30% i think

[brisk helm]

The full ride merit scholarship kids

[stone ridge]

worst case scenario u still got cs

[stone ridge]

oh

so probability of getting cs+biz close to impossible?

😭

[gleaming gust]

accept friend req so that i can send the invite link @stone ridge

[stone ridge]

yepp

[crude night]

also check out the employment charts BS CS makes more

[gleaming gust]

would you guys agree that its prolly easier to sign up for classes in other disciplines at unc as compared to uiuc

[stone ridge]

oh thats true everywhere lol

[crude night]

why do a BA then lol

[stone ridge]

no one does BA

BA is bachelor's in arts

not business admin

thats different

[crude night]

no no

to do CS+bus you need a BA

you can’t minor with the BS

[stone ridge]

fr?

where'd u get this from

so can you not do a BS CS minor or can you not do a minor with BS CS?

either way, i plan to double major

[crude night]

yea you cant minor with Bachelor of science in CS

[crude night]

i don’t think that’s possible either you need to be in the college of arts and sciences for that to happen ….Bachelor of Arts will be used for this

[crude night]

it’s common that’s the whole point of the BA degree

[stone ridge]

dual degree not double major mb

[stone ridge]

i didnt get you

[stone ridge]

do u have a source or smtng for this

is it on their website?

if possible can u send me the link

[fluid anchor]

Can I ask about student mental health on campus? I heard from some physics students that the most incidents have been in their dept. kind of concerning

[spring current]

I made a Reddit post about this, if it's at all insightful: https://www.reddit.com/r/UNC/comments/110rdty/mental_health_environment/

[brisk helm]

Ppl with BS in CS make more cause they typically care more lol, not because employers inherently search for BS degrees. And BS majors most likely have CS as their primary focus compared to BA majors

[stone ridge]

your not wrong

[crude night]

but having an engineering degree compared to an art one never hurts to make a good impression wdys

but you’re right doesnt really matter that much

[brisk helm]

If you want a masters or PhD, a BS is better especially if u want a PhD

If you want to go into industry, it really doesn’t matter as long as u put effort

[main cloud]

i did and yea basically everyone says to go to nc state for cs

[crude night]

yo where do you guys live and what’s you reccomend food wise

can we cook and stuff since there are barely any halal options in the dining halls and i need that so i’ll be probably buying a shit ton of fish eggs and halal meat if i find that to eat but j need some place to cook all that

and which dorms do you guys reccomend

i saw that hortons is really nice you just have to clean the bathrooms yourself

which isn’t too bad i guess

plus the bus station is up close which is a plus

and i don’t wanna live on the north campus cuz i don’t wanna share a bathroom with 16 ppl jeez

granville looks very expensive

are dorms luck based or smth

or do you usually get what you apply for

[fading verge]

Yea for sure

[fading verge]

Not that I'm close enough to put you in contact with unfortunately. A bunch of French dudes live near me though haha

[fading verge]

Sure. You can pm if you want. I took physics 118/119 and im done there.

[wooden ore]

I live in Connor (north campus) and I usually just buy and cook my own food

I've only ever lived in Connor Community (Alexander 1st year, now Connor) and we do have a kitchen in the common area with a sink, oven, stovetop, and microwave

Also I've only had positive experiences w the hall style bathrooms

Usually there's no more than 2 other people in the bathroom and there's always open showers

Connor's 1st floor bathroom has 4 stalls and 4 showers, and I've never had an issue with them all being full when I need one lol

Although I do understand the appeal of the suite bathroom, I've heard a lot of horror stories about trying to set times for each person to do things because they're so much more limited

[crude night]

bro what about if you cook

where do you store your meet if they don’t give a refrigerator or something like that

[stone ridge]

ahh no problem

[fading verge]

you can bring or rent a mini-fridge in the dorms

i lived in koury my freshman year which was pretty nice

it's p much luck based for freshman if i remember correctly. you like make a list in the order that you want them and some people don't get the more popular ones

there's tons of space in hinton james and everyone there is a freshman, so it's good for meeting new ppl

[wooden ore]

I bought my own mini fridge but as mentioned above you can rent one :)

[carmine ivy]

Is it difficult to get an exemption and live off campus for the first year? Because me and my friends were thinking abt getting an apartment near campus but Ik that first year they require you to live on campus

[pliant vapor]

I really like this school and I'm gonna be so sad to reject Rameses 🥺

[stone ridge]

then dont?

[wooden ore]

I would say yes, unless all of you have documented medical conditions that UNC housing cant provide accessibility for

[stone ridge]

all your convincing worked

[wooden ore]

I'll take you out to dinner

Ez

[merry spire]

💯💯

[stone ridge]

done

[wooden ore]

Just wanted to throw a reminder here that I'm willing to help with schedule planning + other questions y'all have about UNC! 🐏💙

[stone ridge]

she's very good at it

i recommend her to you guys

godsend fr

[merry spire]

Squirmy how hot on a scale of 1-10 is the student body

[stone ridge]

from what i've seen on ig

i'd rate it a solid 7

there's plenty for everyone in other words💀

[stone ridge]

on the same scale, USC would come at a solid 9

so 7 isnt bad

[wooden ore]

Yeah probably a 7

Depends on your type but there are a lot of conventionally attractive people

[stone ridge]

how bad/good is the diversity tho

real question

[wooden ore]

I think it depends on the major tbh

Like I've always felt like my classes were very diverse but there's generally a lot of diversity in E3P compared to like... business I guess?

It's a PWI so its not like insanely "good" diversity but at least to me I feel there's a good mix of racial diversity

Economic diversity a little less; I feel like there are a lot of rich kids here

Like people who dont have to worry about expenses/finaid

But my view is super limited

[merry spire]

It is the public ivy with the most black students so that might be something

But my dream is an Asian majority school so obv I’m not getting that 😔

[wooden ore]

https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/university-of-north-carolina-at-chapel-hill/student-life/diversity/#ethnic_diversity

Not sure how accurate this is in terms of numbers

I'll try and look for demographics by department as well

[stone ridge]

same here

[crude night]

how much will unc cost annually for an intl their website says like 60k

[merry spire]

sounds about right yea

[crude night]

just commit to unc

see you guys there

[stone glen]

How many APs does UNC take

[wooden ore]

https://catalog.unc.edu/policies-procedures/credit-evaluation/#text

if you look here under advanced placement scores it shows the list of scores (by AP) to BE credits

they will take all APs that you have (that have a corresponding score; i think its required in NC that if you get a 3 you're automatically considered for some amount of credit)

although they will not take duplicate credits i think

ex. you got a 3 on AP Drawing and a 3 on AP Art 2D, they'll only give you credit for one of them (since they're both equal to 1 studio art general elective)

i think you'll only run into this issue with art (2d/3d/drawing), english (lit, lang), physics (1, 2, B, C), and political science (comp gov, us gov) general electives

and its only if you get a 3 on both of them

ill also add that they do give placement credit (algebra + precalc) if you get a 2 on either AP Calc subsection :)

[stone ridge]

lesgo

intl too?

where u from

[crude night]

i’m from pakistan

[stone ridge]

oh nicee

[wooden ore]

cant wait to see yall on campus<3

[stone glen]

Thank you!

[stone ridge]

me neitherr

[jolly idol]

Hey guys, just wanted to ask: does it matter if I was accepted for a different major than I wanted? Can I switch once I get to campus?

[merry spire]

Yup you can switch

[wooden ore]

did you get accepted for assured enrollment? or just the generic "welcome to UNC" thing

because UNC doesnt admit by major

you just have to declare your major by the end of your sophomore year

i also dont think it matters assured enrollment vs not bc assured enrollment doesnt mean you have to stick with the major either

[jolly idol]

Yeah it’s a bit weird my letter didn’t say anything about a major but I got an email later saying welcome to the E3P program

[jolly idol]

Gotcha. Thank you so much

[wooden ore]

Ahh

Yeah you dont have to stick with E3P if you dont want to

Although I am very biased and would suggest taking one of the intro ENEC classes before switching

Bc I love being an enviro science major

[jolly idol]

Hahaha actually I’m likely going to the UK but this is my unconditional offer choice. I will be sure to take an intro enviro class wherever I am though following your recommendation

[unborn garnet]

anyone know when waitlist stuff might come out 🥲
