UNC-Chapel Hill (2023-2024)

[topaz kayak]

fr wish i still lived there tho i was top 1% of my class

[spark zenith]

guys let me give y'all some positivity even if u dont get in you can always transfer the acceptance for transfer is like 47 percent so awfullly high

[swift ginkgo]

no one gets pogue scholars anyways 😭

[potent grotto]

Hullor

(my briiish impression of hello)

[chrome viper]

Fr? Is this oos or in state

[swift ginkgo]

unc accepts my associates degree 😍

[inner quail]

Combined

I dont know how the OOS limits apply to transfers

[paper chasm]

damn wtf

[spark zenith]

overall

[spark zenith]

There was an option on the Common App for this, but I overlooked it. The way they grouped all the tests under one option led me to mistakenly think it was for international students, as I only read the first few words.

This is the option. though:

[potent grotto]

@twin mango can we get a miscellaneous questions channel/thread

Questions about hs/college Which don't really go in any channel

[inner quail]

(You might want to put that in the request megathread so carly sees)

[twin mango]

That’s kinda just #🌻-app-questions tbh

We used to have an #other channel but at a certain point we have to distinguish what this server can and cannot help with

[potent grotto]

Fair enough, but like if let's say I asked a question related to hs over there, ppl would just look at me weird and tell me to try another channel

[twin mango]

I also don’t think we really cover high school as a server

Nor should we

[potent grotto]

That is also fair

[twin mango]

My hesitancy is that the more topics we open ourselves up to the higher risk of misinfo we also open ourselves up to

[digital pike]

bruh my unc essays were lowkey ass

since it was my first app submitted

[inner quail]

shit apps will get you in

can confirm

[swift ginkgo]

how bad

[spark zenith]

wait guys I dont know if i reported my SAT initially when I submitted but I did in the MyCarolina portal before Dec 1st

will those get reviewed then

[candid scaffold]

in state yes, out of state no

that score would hurt u more than help if oos

[gloomy owl]

Really?

It's in the median percentile though

[gloomy owl]

Is it really that bad

[candid scaffold]

its not

1435 is the middle of the 50th percentile

between 25-75

and thats for all students

personally I wouldn't submit a 1430 if ur oos bc the acceptance rate is 8% the middle 50th percentile would def be higher

also the 1370s are taken into account for the student athletes who have lower stats, if ur a student athlete for the school then I'd submit it if not i wouldnt submit it personally

[gloomy owl]

Most of my stuff comes from extracurriculars

I had some student soccer program I created for my city but I didn't play much

[candid scaffold]

usually the rule of thumb is to submit if ur like 50 percentile +

[gloomy owl]

Other stuff is from the 3 internships

[candid scaffold]

not if ur below the 50th percentile

[gloomy owl]

Okay

[candid scaffold]

also im saying no bc ik oos is rlly competitive

[gloomy owl]

Yeah I got you ig

Would the split of my score help though

[candid scaffold]

sucks u arent in state 😭

[gloomy owl]

Cause I had a 780 math

Technically that's 75th+percentile

[candid scaffold]

umm whats ur intended major?

[gloomy owl]

Neuroscience

[candid scaffold]

i mean they dont admit by major

but idk how the admissions process works

[gloomy owl]

It's not by major I think

[candid scaffold]

umm

honestly up to u

[gloomy owl]

Hmm

[candid scaffold]

whats ur gpa

and class rank

or a range of it

[gloomy owl]

GPA unweighted 3.9

Weighted 5.01

Rank is top 10%

[candid scaffold]

on a scale of 6.0?

[gloomy owl]

Yeah

They were a little harsh with their 6.0 scale

It's like impossible to have above a 5.5 in my school

[candid scaffold]

so its like a 4.01 out of a traditonal 5.0?

[gloomy owl]

I think?

Should make sense

[candid scaffold]

lowk

i dont think u have the stats for UNC out of state bc even in state in my area the avg weighted is a 4.52 which is like equivalent of ur 5.5 and sat is a little low but i mean its not all about stats if u have rlly strong ECs and ur an amazing writer

[gloomy owl]

Not the best writer

EC's are decently strong

[candid scaffold]

is it ur top choice?

[gloomy owl]

I had others but I wanna try here cause I would go if I make it

Ig top choice

[candid scaffold]

i mean it wouldnt hurt to try

u never know

[gloomy owl]

Other choice is UT if I make it

Aight ig

[candid scaffold]

either way oos is rlly hard to get in

just dont make the mistake of setting some dream school like i did😭

[gloomy owl]

Yeah I understand

Thanks though

[magic coral]

yeah sumbit that score isn't hurting you by any means

[fluid matrix]

As someone who’s likely in the area you mentioned it’s cause gpas are inflated here

rhey pretty much only take people close to the top 10% which most of the time is 4.5+

I say based on class rank it’s possible but still quite unlikely just because how oos admissions are

[chrome viper]

2 weeks and 1 day 😛😛

[topaz kayak]

submit that score

[twin mango]

https://tenor.com/view/loona-unc-vuni-haseul-gif-26673542

[inner quail]

I'm pretty confident UNC recalculates GPA

Given the avg accepted GPA "out of 4" on the CDS is like 4.3 or w/e

[gloomy owl]

Should I speed send SAT scores or regular send

I'm confused how long it takes considering due date is in 5 days right

[inland snow]

Theres usually a grace period to send in materials

Regular send should be fine

[inner quail]

Usually they're more flexible with things that aren't entirely in your control to submit (LORs, test scores, transcripts, etc.) so long as its not unreasonable

[swift ginkgo]

unc, unc

pls release ur decisions

signed, stressed ea applicant

[chrome viper]

Two weeks 🤩🤩🤩 scared nervous anxious terrified

[wheat citrus]

dumb rd applicant here - what does the international fee mean? wasnt the commonapp payment enough? also do i have to send official toefl or is there any way to self report

[floral robin]

I’m pretty sure the application fee is more expensive for international students

But if you paid through common app already you should be fine, it might just take a sec

[spark zenith]

!unc

[candid scaffold]

real i have hope for UNC now.. just got into purdue oos for computer engineering

[magic parcel]

@candid scaffold yo can I dm for stats

[candid scaffold]

sure

u can send me a FR

[austere merlin]

NO WAY

[swift ginkgo]

hope it works out for both of us

[potent grotto]

Ayoo congratulations!!

[candid scaffold]

tyty

[inland snow]

anyone currently going to unc do yall know what the environmental sciences and engineering dept is like? they call it engineering but they dont have an enviro engineering major so i chose PH: environmental sciences

[inland snow]

congrats!!

[inner quail]

Environmental sciences & engineering is more for grad type stuff, although they do have an undergraduate major & minor (environmental health science BSPH and some sort of enviro engineering-type minor)

The department is part of Gillings iirc

The APPL department is working on an environmental engineering major rn but environmental science is great

As a junior in the major I can answer more questions specific to environmental science & the department :)

[inland snow]

Omg ok tysm!!

[scenic plume]

!unc

[gloomy owl]

is it due 11:59 today or tmrw

Im wondering

finished everything but I wanna know for last minute adjustments or if i can have tmrw as well

[oak dove]

Check common app website

It will tell you how much time

[river totem]

should i submit resume

[austere merlin]

Yuh if it helps

[primal mantle]

am i screwed oos for rd

i think im still gonna apply but i regret not doing ea

[inner quail]

Define "screwed"

[primal mantle]

is the rd acceptance rate for oos like considerably lower than it is for EA

[river totem]

should any of the UNC essays talk about why UNC

[swift ginkgo]

mine didnt

cause they didnt mention anything about why the school

[potent grotto]

Aren't all essays same for everyone

[swift ginkgo]

i just yapped about my interests

[swift ginkgo]

yeah i said my essays didnt mention unc

[potent grotto]

Oh

[chrome viper]

Yeah I was lowk thinking ab the lack of a why is prompt

Us*

[mystic zinc]

uh mine did with the why major

i probably did it wrong though 😞

[inner quail]

Y'all probably did fine

[inner quail]

I think generally EA acceptance rate is higher than RD, but they don't give the split

They only give the overall EA/RD split for in-state and OOS

[primal mantle]

yeah that's why i haven't been able to find details anywhere

i kinda just last minute thought abt applying but not sure if it's worth it cus i've already applied to 20 schools and my naviance scattergrams is looking not so good for applicants from my school 😭 i already have essays that work for the two supp questions so that's why i was considering but im really not sure

[inner quail]

Worst case you get rejected

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Your choice

[primal mantle]

this is true

[swift ginkgo]

wait whats the ea acceptance trate?

for oos?

[inner quail]

They don't split into in-state and OOS for EA/RD

So the EA acceptance rate is 21.9% [source]

Total

[swift ginkgo]

no comment

time to stop thinking about unc

[river totem]

is UNC referred to as UNC or carolina

[inner quail]

Both

[swift ginkgo]

wb lina

[inner quail]

Absolutely not

Lol

Never heard that

[river totem]

ty but why is a duke kid in the unc thread

[candid scaffold]

i did half and half

talked about my interests and then did research on what UNC offered

also like dug deep into certain professors research

and classes i wanted to take as an undegrad and potential masters but this was also my top choice

[inland snow]

someone tell me why i hate the first prompt sm

like i have an idea but my brain snt going

[primal mantle]

SUBMITTED

[inland snow]

turned in on time but that first prompt made me wanna kms 💀 felt like such a bot writing it

[last lagoon]

I turned in mine like 7 minutes after the deadline cuz I didn’t know it was eastern 💀

Does that get returned

[inland snow]

due date is 11:59 whenever ur timezone is

[last lagoon]

the common app is saying otherwise tho ughhh

[inland snow]

wait what timezone r u in?

[last lagoon]

Pst

💀

[inland snow]

U should be fine

[last lagoon]

okeyyyy thanks 😭

[inland snow]

Ya ofc

[inner quail]

I'm not actually at dook

I'm a junior at unc :)

[wheat citrus]

should i just contact them about this? only uni that seems to have this on their checklist and i sent my app over a week ago

[inner quail]

I would

[potent grotto]

Does anyone know if UNC offers summer classes for high schoolers

For credit

[hearty wyvern]

I have this too

I think it’s just a glitch

[inner quail]

Check here

[potent grotto]

Ty squirmy

[soft tundra]

anyone know when ea decisions come out

[inner quail]

Usually last week of January

I'm going to guess for this year, could be 24th-31st

I wouldn't expect it as early as the 22nd but I guess it's possible

[soft tundra]

okay okay thank you

[swift ginkgo]

tbh yeah despite how much we all want it to release rn

[river totem]

ahhh yay!

[ancient valley]

isnt it mostly the fourth friday of january that it comes out?

[swift ginkgo]

Yah

Wish it was the third

[chrome viper]

<10 days🫡🇺🇸

UNC plz let me in its all I ask

Pray thee Tar Heel

I’ll become rich enough to donate a building back one day don’t worry bbg 🏡

[kindred stream]

how competitive is UNC for econ?

[hidden sage]

when does UNC come out?

[fluid matrix]

31st I believe

[paper chasm]

thats the last day

its usually the 26th

cos final friday

[fluid matrix]

Ohh right

ncsu is the one confirmed 30th

got them mixed up a bit

[inner quail]

It doesnt always come out on Friday

[inner quail]

We dont admit by major

[paper chasm]

fr?

[swift ginkgo]

carolina blue is such a pretty color

[inner quail]

Mine came out on a Wednesday or something

Middle of the week

But that was way back in 2021 so idk if theyve made it better or not

[paper chasm]

covid year doesn't count

[paper chasm]

weird

[kindred stream]

so its only based on the college you apply to

[inner quail]

No

There are separate admissions processes for pre-professional majors & CS after admission to UNC

[devout vale]

EARLY ACTION (NON-BINDING)
Application Deadline – October 15
Decision Available – January 31

https://admissions.unc.edu/apply/types-of-applications/first-year/

[swift ginkgo]

thank u for telling us what we know

[versed fox]

🤨 no need to be snarky

[swift ginkgo]

not snanky

snarky

we constantly talk ab when decisions are releasing tho

so i quite literally just said thanks for telling us

[versed fox]

they may not have realized that, and with your tone it came off a bit passive aggressive/snarky with the "what we know" part

obviously you arent in trouble or anything, just trying to remind everyone to try and stay friendly

[swift ginkgo]

oh mbbb

definitely didnt mean to be snarky

[swift ginkgo]

unc sounds like unc (abbreviated word for uncle)

roaming thoughts hah

[paper chasm]

eh

[spark zenith]

guys

if they offer global launch program do you still gotta apply or nah

[austere merlin]

Nah

[spark zenith]

oh fr?

how often do they give it out though

[austere merlin]

A few hundred kids get it

I’d say like 300-500

[spark zenith]

oh I see

tbh though I just realized how much easier it is to transfer rather than apply undergrad if you rlly want to go to UNC

[austere merlin]

In what regard?

[spark zenith]

no like the transfer acceptance rate is hella high

[austere merlin]

Ah

Transferring itself is just kinda hard imo

[spark zenith]

rlly

lowkey if I dont get into the school I get into

[austere merlin]

You get behind in school usually for a bit

[spark zenith]

Im banking on transferring since rates r much higher and I say a lot of money \

[spark zenith]

bro I have 135 AP credits lmfao

[austere merlin]

Academics (which can be fixed after like a year) and social

[spark zenith]

I would be a junior at most schools

[austere merlin]

You’ve taken 45 AP’s??

[spark zenith]

some give 15

[austere merlin]

Most schools also cap ap credits

[spark zenith]

yeah

[austere merlin]

Def look into which ones work

[spark zenith]

but at least a significant amount

[austere merlin]

Like at Cornell you only get 15 credits worth

[spark zenith]

bruh they want ur tuition

cant have u graduatin early

[austere merlin]

Fr

I might be but we will see

[spark zenith]

I mean idc about that since im already ahead due to the amount of credits

is there any otherproblems potentially

besides like social things (which i dont rlly care about)

[austere merlin]

Clubs typically

[spark zenith]

bro

I cant start a club at any school

[austere merlin]

not starting them

Joining them

[spark zenith]

can*

joining means nothing to others lmfao

you have to be president or sum for it to matter

[austere merlin]

It is very different in college

Yes you want leadership of course

Which is harder when you join a year late

[spark zenith]

starting a club guarantees you president

[austere merlin]

But plenty of transfers work their arses off to make it work

[austere merlin]

What club are you planning to start?

[spark zenith]

also im kinda after the degree ngl

[spark zenith]

idk yet tbh

[austere merlin]

Resumes need clubs

And internships and stuff

Again, none of that is impossible as a transfer

Just a bit harder

Get involved at whatever first school you’d be at too

[spark zenith]

not rlly I can get internships while at my 1st yr school

and at the same time try and transfer for the degree

tbh you can just do a lot of good stuff with clubs in a year

my only concern is since I want to try and my bachelors in 2 yrs

it might disrupt that

[inner quail]

Good morning UNC thread :)

[fluid matrix]

It’s too cold out here rn

[inner quail]

For real

I did not bring back enough warm clothes

[fluid matrix]

lmao

[inner quail]

Wasn't expecting 24 fuckin degrees

[fluid matrix]

Fr

bipolar weather tho

In a week it’s gonna up to 70 degrees

what kinda weather is this 😭

[austere merlin]

LUCKY

NO FAIR

[fluid matrix]

the weather out here so scuffed

it’ll go down to 20 degrees go up to 70 a week later and then back down to 20 the following week

[paper chasm]

nice weather

[fluid matrix]

idk why it’s hitting 70 mid January

[inner quail]

As my dad says, if you hate the weather in central NC, just give it 15 minutes

[fluid matrix]

Makes sense lmao

[inner quail]

80s in February 🤩

[fluid matrix]

I was outside in shorts yesterday and it was nice until I went back inside and realized my hands couldn’t move

[inner quail]

Middle of the day, no wind, I could get behind that

[swift ginkgo]

If I get deferred or rejected from unc ea will I be rejected from the next stage of the Robertson?

@inner quail

[inner quail]

Uhh

Deferred idk

Rejected only if you got rejected from Duke too?

[swift ginkgo]

Ok so it shouldn’t have any impact?

I applied to Duke rd to

[inner quail]

Idk tbh

[swift ginkgo]

ok

cool

[inner quail]

I just know you cant get Robertson if you dont get into Duke or UNC lol

[swift ginkgo]

Fs

I’m really hoping I don’t get a rejection here

[candid scaffold]

@inner quail do u recall

what days the UNC move ins were

like for fall semester

tryna plan a vacay but dk what month to be back if i get into this school and go, but gotta book the tickets before unc decisions come out.

Do you have like an estimate of usually when u do move in for fall semester?

[inner quail]

Like 2nd week August ish

I'd plan to be back before the end of the first week of August to be safe

[candid scaffold]

hmm im gonig to asia

overseas

for 2 months

thinking of returning august 6 or 7? but do u think ill have time

to spend like 4 days in cali

and still make it to move in date

or is that cutting it close

[inner quail]

Cutting it close but not impossible I dont think

Let me check fdoc for 2024

Fdoc is Aug 19

[candid scaffold]

y is it so early...

[inner quail]

So we dont take exams on christmas eve

😎

I do like being done first week of dec

Pretty nice

[candid scaffold]

oh

UC schools start like mid september..

i wish.

[inner quail]

They also dont have the tourist lobbying like we do

At least I dont think they do

[chrome viper]

1 week 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[swift ginkgo]

1 week ish, we don’t know if it will be earlier or

[tough fulcrum]

Chat its getting kinda serious

Worrying too much

[swift ginkgo]

fr

so stressed

unc is one of my tops

[spark zenith]

guys you can just transfer if u rlly want to go to UNCCH

[chrome viper]

Wait actually

Why

[spark zenith]

also C-Step is a thing

so dont worry

[chrome viper]

😭

What’s that

[spark zenith]

the transfer rate is super high

search it up

[chrome viper]

Oh fr

[spark zenith]

its basically a transfer pathway

[chrome viper]

I’ll look

[spark zenith]

its their yield rptoection emasure

and global launch

[chrome viper]

Maybe I’ll go to Wisconsin first year then chapel hill

[spark zenith]

UNC knows how to game the system

[spark zenith]

UW Madison?

[chrome viper]

Wait is global launch easy to get

Yeah

[spark zenith]

uhh idk

[chrome viper]

I put it and I rlly want it

[spark zenith]

though I think its for kids

who r borderline

[chrome viper]

If I don’t get in

Errrr

Yeah ur right

[spark zenith]

also C-STEP is a thing

so do that

if you want to

[chrome viper]

Wait let me look that up rq

Oh that’s dope

[spark zenith]

yeah bro tbh

undergrad is such joke

people worry that you wont graduate and shit

[chrome viper]

fr

Like I want to go to law school anyways

[spark zenith]

bruh if you want to seriouslly graduate faster just take CC classes cause their 10x easier and also you aren't dealing with BS and professors who actually teach u

[chrome viper]

So it’s v irrelevant but I still care

[spark zenith]

Law School? idk if UNC is a good option tbh

[chrome viper]

does it have grade deflation

[spark zenith]

you should look into like UVA or sum for that

[chrome viper]

yeah

All I know is that prestige doesn’t matter

[spark zenith]

UNC idk but Ik that most CC's have grade inflations

[chrome viper]

So I’m mostly looking at cost

[spark zenith]

so you can get easy credits and a high ass GPA

[chrome viper]

tru

I might go in state idk yet

[spark zenith]

u live in NC?

[chrome viper]

But lowk I just want to get into chapel hill cuz I want my high school years to be worth it yknow

No

Oos

[spark zenith]

which state u live in

if its within the south its free

[chrome viper]

Not that

[spark zenith]

cause they got all sorts of programs

[chrome viper]

Not free

[spark zenith]

cause their graduation rates for HS are so low lmfao

[chrome viper]

Lowk my state school doesn’t give lots of money

[spark zenith]

a lot more kids in the south dont go to college

[chrome viper]

Yeah

[spark zenith]

so they need to incentivize them

[chrome viper]

Doesn’t Bama give a full ride or sum

I’d you have above a certain score

[carmine verge]

Yes I got one for a 32

Do u guys think this is coming out next Friday?

!UNC

hm

[swift ginkgo]

Yeah

[tough fulcrum]

Im assuming anytime after this Wednesday we'll be hearing

[candid scaffold]

6 days...

[swift ginkgo]

6 days too late

unc losers

[swift ginkgo]

Does unc defer or waitlist?

[proud elbow]

defer

[candid scaffold]

pretty sure waitlist is only for RD

for any college

[mystic zinc]

do they defer or reject more

[candid scaffold]

Idk

But defer or waitlist usually means reject

they barely take anyone off of the waitlist

Offered like 2500 waitlist

Only accepted 72

71*

For fall 2022

[mystic zinc]

ah ok

[spark zenith]

then we gotta go fight UVA rn

they waitlisted me ED 💀

[chrome viper]

I’m so scared guys I’m tweaking

I literally want UNC so bad I hope they want me back 🫂

[candid scaffold]

damnw tf

i didnt know ED waitlist was possible

is it binding

[river totem]

no

[spark zenith]

the waitlist itself isn't binding since they let you know after may 1st 😭😭

[deft radish]

unc doesnt defer

[mystic zinc]

oh shit

this boutta be my first rejection :(

[austere merlin]

They waitlist

[mystic zinc]

arent waitlist odds usually rly bad

[austere merlin]

Yeah waitlist odds are bad at any school tbh

[candid scaffold]

R u in state?

[mystic zinc]

no 😭

its joever

[late sentinel]

my friend is morehead-cain finalist ? Does that mean he is a guaranteed admit? The final interviews for the scholarship are after the EA decision date.

[deft cairn]

u gotta get the scholarship to be guaranteed

but i assume if hes a finalist for that competitive of a scholarship he has pretty good odds regardless

[late sentinel]

Thanks @deft cairn

[deft cairn]

👍

i was a morehead cain semifinalist but got rejected to be a finalist so kudos to him for getting past that stage

[river totem]

most likely

[nocturne frigate]

Chances of decisions coming out Friday?

[chrome viper]

very high

[paper bobcat]

pretty strong chance he'll be admitted, i spoke to one of the current morehead-cain students and they said that all finalists who aren't selected are still admitted to honors

[swift ginkgo]

shoulldve applied to morehead cain but i was way too lazy

deadline was in OCTOBER

[river totem]

dont u have to get nominated

[swift ginkgo]

nope

even then i had a cbo nominating if needed

but it wasnt needed this year

[river totem]

r u kidding

oml

[swift ginkgo]

same lol, but i only applied to the robertson @unc and duke

[river totem]

r u a semi for jefferson?

[river totem]

i learnt about robertson the day it was due

[swift ginkgo]

no, didnt apply since there was competition from others at my school to be nominated

[swift ginkgo]

i did the essays like a few days before they were due the app wasn't that bad tbh

[river totem]

was there a video interview

[swift ginkgo]

yeah

[river totem]

well if i get in to duke/unc and attend, i'll apply robertsons as a first year

[swift ginkgo]

you had to answer a few questions

[river totem]

cool

[swift ginkgo]

definitely do it!!

[river totem]

yess

[swift ginkgo]

dang! hope it goes well

[river totem]

tysm

[paper bobcat]

aaghh that's so real yet so painful

[paper bobcat]

u can be nominated but u can also self nominate and apply, it's not super restrictive

[candid scaffold]

4 days..

[chrome viper]

Ahhhh

You beat me to it

[gentle sinew]

wait

FRIDAY?

i thought it was on the 31st 😭

[carmine verge]

4 daysssss

its usually the last friday of the month

last year they said 31 and it was 27th

[inner quail]

31st is always the last possible date

Its safe to assume the last Friday altho historically it varies a bit

[swift ginkgo]

By how much

[inner quail]

Mine came out on a Wednesday or Thursday

But that was also for CO25 (2020-2021 app)

[cedar ore]

when is unc coming out?

[paper bobcat]

prob friday, not totally sure

[chrome viper]

I’m gonna be so offended if I get rejected because I’ve somehow convinced myself that I’ll at least get into the global launch program which prob won’t happen either 😭

[swift ginkgo]

ill be really upset if im rejected

[magic coral]

do yall think unc will come out after school

for cst and est ppl

[deft radish]

speculated to be at 4 eastern

[candid scaffold]

i have work right after unc comes out friday...

[swift ginkgo]

ahh

so happy thats the day i have off

last time i opened my decision at work it was not the best idea

[winter peak]

Wait so is it confirmed for this Friday ?

[swift ginkgo]

no, speculation

[winter peak]

Oh alr

I rly hope it comes out this Friday bc the wait is killing me

[chrome viper]

I think it will

I keep on looking at past threads to see people’s stats 💀💀💀 it’s an obsession

PLEASE GLOBAL LAUNCH PLZ

[candid scaffold]

what’s it like

[chrome viper]

Honestly really varied

In state is completely different but OOS lots of high stats people getting rejected/deferred. Seems like essays and ECs are really the differentiator. I’m seeing but also hoping that the global launch seems/acts kind of like a better waitlist

[winter peak]

Bruh my essay was lowkey ass

[candid scaffold]

4.6 1500 SAT in state they better let me in.

💀 if not they're racist.

[winter peak]

Unc was the first school I submitted

And I started my common app essay literally the day of

[candid scaffold]

[swift ginkgo]

They’re about to release decisions tho…

I hope they change this

And Ty for the resource

[paper bobcat]

i think it's still probably worth an email

[swift ginkgo]

They said most likely it won’t be read

And it’s no big deal

[carmine verge]

We feeling Friday still

[swift ginkgo]

we’re feeling whatever unc admissions is feeling

[candid scaffold]

I’m feeling death

[chrome viper]

Someone said UNC came out Thursday last year is that true???

[paper bobcat]

nope, friday

[candid scaffold]

[swift ginkgo]

[chrome viper]

Oh Mk that’s why

I had a friend say it was Thursday like two years ago or sum like that

[candid scaffold]

id rather it come out tomorrow.

ive been counting down since like 84 days

[chrome viper]

Idk at this point

Omggggg

[paper bobcat]

[chrome viper]

[chrome viper]

[candid scaffold]

[chrome viper]

OMG STOP

[paper bobcat]

[lethal wigeon]

[chrome viper]

Neutral tbh

[lethal wigeon]

i'm not even nervous for some reason

[swift ginkgo]

There’s a person on here idk their name and they’ve been counting down since FOREVER

[chrome viper]

I’ve thought about decisions so much I’ve returned to like complete state of not knowing anything

[paper bobcat]

real 😫 i'm the opposite tho

[lethal wigeon]

i think i've spent so much time apart from college admissions that i don't even care anymore

[swift ginkgo]

Idk if I’d get in oos

[paper bobcat]

im getting nervous

are yall oos

[chrome viper]

REALLY HOPING FOR GLOBAL LAUNCH PROGRAM cuz I don’t think I can get in regular

[candid scaffold]

[lethal wigeon]

i probably ain't getting in tho my essays sucked since they were my first

[lethal wigeon]

[chrome viper]

My international experience optional essay is sooooo bad

[swift ginkgo]

Hoping for early assurance health care policy

[candid scaffold]

idk im kinda confident? but also not that confident at the same time

[lethal wigeon]

my community essay was atrocious

[swift ginkgo]

Ahhh please 😭😭

[chrome viper]

Slay I’m praying for u

[paper bobcat]

im like not super worried beacuse in state but also im worried because my essay was like a 7/10 if my others were 9/10

[chrome viper]

Everyone at my school applies here which makes it so much worse

[candid scaffold]

historically, unc has taken around 80 kids from my school each year, I'm in the top 5% of my class so like it would be odd if i didn't get in?? but then again im not that confident on it.

[paper bobcat]

but im also not worried because mhc finalist but im worried because aghhhhhhhhh

[candid scaffold]

oh ur def getting in

[paper bobcat]

[candid scaffold]

[swift ginkgo]

Unc takes no body from my school

[chrome viper]

Omg my school sends max three a year and we have like sixty people apply every year

[lethal wigeon]

[candid scaffold]

[swift ginkgo]

Yeah in state kids you got this

[candid scaffold]

To be fair

[candid scaffold]

[ancient valley]

is the acceptance 50% instate?

[candid scaffold]

i think it was 37%

for last application pool

but thats all of NC

[ancient valley]

omg so thats like everyone

[candid scaffold]

prolly harder to get into from the charlotte area

and the wake/raleigh area

the two cities

[ancient valley]

#3

[paper bobcat]

i did some metaphorical shit with my personal essay

something about addition and subtraction and metaphorically connected it to my life about addition quality and subtracting quantity

then went to another math concept of inequalities to address my passion for educational ineequalities..

something abuot balancing my equation

[paper bobcat]

my personal statement i wrote about video games and healing sibling relationships by rediscovering love idek

and my ecs are wildly spread throughout a few diff areas

[ancient valley]

unc
