when does unc come out !!!!

inner quail
inland snow
#

Ya that’s true..

inner quail
#

Because I underloaded my second sem (didn't take any bio/enec classes) I've had to pick up the slack per se in my 2nd/3rd years

#

But generally taking 15-16 credit hours

#

15 is roughly what they suggest iirc so

#

Although I am overloading this semester (19.5)

#

RD decisions when?

What is competitive for UNC oos?

# simple pewter What is competitive for UNC oos?

Generally for OOS you'd need to be pretty close to top of your class. I don't have specific stats to aim for, but OOS applicants are viewed with much higher scrutiny (since there are so few spaces for OOS students)

does anyone know how hard the cs major selection process is? According to Reddit it’s not that bad but idk if I should trust that

# crystal sparrow does anyone know how hard the cs major selection process is? According to Reddit...

It's not really. UNC CS added admissions not to make the program more "prestigious" but to make sure every student who wanted a CS major would get one; because the dept was so underfunded and understaffed, there were students who hadn't taken the core CS classes by their senior year. I forget which prof is the dept chair but he said it's not to kick people out, but to make sure the people in get what they need for the degree

crystal sparrow
#

tysm. Do you go to chapel hill by any chance (just wondering how you know all this)?

inner quail
#

I'm a third year bio/envsci double major, planning on an MSIS in environmental informatics

#

I really enjoy helping people and because I'm familiar with UNC, I really enjoy helping ppl with UNC stuff lol

crystal sparrow
inner quail
# river totem Is the same true for Biz?

Biz is certainly more competitive, but it's not like <30% AR lol. They don't share the same philosophy at all since KF has a lot of "prestige" to live up to, and business is a pre-professional program in its own school (while CS is still in the college of arts & sciences)

is oos informatic sci hard to get into and how is the aid?

Think of it as an application within the school

#

Did anyone get in for their second major?

#

Or for the study abroad program

inner quail
#

You dont get admitted by major :)

#

Unless you're doing a pre prof program, you're technically admitted to your first choice major upon acceptance to UNC

#

All pre-professional programs require an application once you're at UNC

robust sky
#

I’m so confused 😭

inner quail
#

When you're admitted to UNC, you're admitted to the college of arts and sciences basically. No major in AS (except for CS) requires an application to switch to; you just declare it as your major or talk to an advisor

#

Certain undergrad majors are in other "colleges" at UNC. The common ones are business, journalism, HPM, and info science, although there are a lot more

#

Those programs require you to apply for the specific major after completing prerequisite classes

robust sky
#

Ohh tysm that makes sense

#

But in general they consider the second major option right because in some of the colleges I didn’t get into didnt consider the 2nd option

inner quail
#

They dont consider major at all

#

The only time they consider major is if you select to be considered for assured enrollment

#

Otherwise its simply accepted to UNC or not

#

But even then if you dont get assured enrollment and get accepted to UNC youre still accepted to UNC and can declare any AS major (or officially apply to the pre-prof major)

We only have specific schools for pre-professional majors which you apply to once you're already at UNC

river totem

is env sci/information science competitive

inner quail
#

Otherwise its Arts & Sciences ig but thats where 97% of majors are anyways

#

I'm envsci/bio with a cert/dual degree in SILS (which houses the info sci major) so I can answer more specific program questions if youre interested

scenic jasper

So if I applied as like, poli sci, I can come in and start doing engineering?

river totem
#

Oh right

scenic jasper

but it is split into schools yes, there's like kenan-flagner school of business and hussman school of media & journalism

scenic jasper

they require an application

I just saw biomedical engineering

paper bobcat

The joint Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) is a department of both the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC–Chapel Hill) and North Carolina State University (NC State). The department oversees a joint graduate and undergraduate program at these institutions. While a complete curriculum is offered on the UNC–Chapel Hill campus, students can elect to take any number of classes at NC State. The joint program also leverages the industry resources in Research Triangle Park, located roughly half way between the two campuses, providing unique opportunities for students.

Sorry 🤣🐚

inner quail

Knock it off, I'm trying to be helpful so you dont commit then find out that you have to reapply for CS

#

Honors college doesnt mean guaranteed acceptance to CS

#

Sorry

#

But i got assured enrollment

inner quail

I didnt know if CS did assured enrollment which is why I asked

#

Its alright

I know some ppl get confused abt major-based acceptance and particular program stuff so I just want to help ppl make the most informed decision

#

CMU or UNC for data science/stats ?

#

Full pay for both, so CMU is roughly 25k more expensive

inner quail
tranquil igloo
#

when does UNC come out

inner quail
#

tbh if they're already taking out loans, or if they'll be taking out loans for the additional 25k, its absolutely not worth it to go to CMU

#

not because CMU is a "worse academic choice" but taking on that amount of debt is objectively a dumb idea

#

not necessarily

#

fafsa doesnt mean you get anything

#

i know that i dont get unsubsidized anything and i think its like 5k/sem

#

for unc

#

regardless a lot of rich people can't afford 85k/year out of pocket for college

inner quail
#

bc compound interest is a bitch

#

yea fs

#

like i love unc but id never tell someone to pick it over a place thats more affordable

scenic jasper
#

I won’t be taking any loans or going into debt

#

My parents are paying for absolutely everything

#

But still it is a 25k per year difference which must be considered

the ap score stuff is prob what tips the scale for me going to unc, and dual enrollment transferring without hassle

okay idrk how waitlists work but do schools that say they don’t rank waitlists, then allow you to submit additional info and locis, do they rank you or choose you after that? if a spot opens up ofc

@fluid matrix
$3,683/semester for housing (double dorm, Joyner)
$1,690/semester for meal plan ($1,490 for 100 swipes, $200 flex)

And sexy sexy $3,500/sem tuition 🤤

fluid matrix
#

wow

fluid matrix
inner quail
#

They reset every semester

fluid matrix
#

ah alright

#

the housing is right around what I’d expect but that food plan is much cheaper

#

unc seems to estimate about 6k a yr for food

#

also one last question @inner quail does picking a cheaper meal plan and stuff impact the amount of aid you get since technically you have to pay less?

#

like I have a sai of around 15k so that’s why I ask

inner quail
#

I'm not sure

How was it? :)

scenic jasper

#

I thought the campus was really pretty ngl @inner quail @scenic jasper

fluid matrix
#

haven’t been to much campuses but I say it’s still tied for the best I’ve been to

#

(tied w Michigan)

#

but tbf scenery wise unc is better

#

Michigan is good in a different way

inner quail
#

Yaya

#

It gets better around summertime methinks lol

#

Like rn isnt a bad time but green is just starting to fill in

#

Summer you get all the green and flowers

fluid matrix

Yeah

@inner quail whats the cons and pros of granville towers

#

inner quail
#

I think it's also overpriced compared to the dorms

candid scaffold
#

#

FDOC is the 19th

candid scaffold
#

#

or do u go back on the 19th

inner quail
#

It's up to you

#

I usually move in the Saturday before FDOC and stay

#

what r ur thoughts on Hojo

#

I heard Hojo and Koury were nice

#

but craige is the worst

#

also r housing apps first come first serve

inner quail
#

For first years I think theres a priority deadline where I think its lottery but you get a chance at your preferences, then after that its kinda like filling in the spaces

#

Ive heard good things abt both Hojo and Koury

worldly aspen
#

is there a resource that condenses dorm info?

fluid matrix
#

I’m thinking of doing:
Hojo
Ehaus
idk (maybe Craige)

worldly aspen
inner quail
#

im that im aware of aside from like

#

housing site

#

lol

fluid matrix
#

Best social life wise

#

But further from Franklin street

#

And most other things on campus

#

These two are both suite style but there are also corridor style

inner quail
#

i cant lie i loved north campus

fluid matrix
#

I say look at both see what you like

inner quail
#

^

fluid matrix
#

Choose based on how social you are

inner quail
#

sorry i got distracted by idiots in gen

fluid matrix
#

lol

worldly aspen
#

i have an onyen login but when i try to log in to the help portal, it takes me to the logout page. anyone know of this issue?

fluid matrix
#

im gonna try it rn

worldly aspen
fluid matrix
#

yeah same thing happening with me

#

this right

inner quail
#

I got in fine so I'm guessing it might be with new accounts

fluid matrix
#

yeah

worldly aspen
#

additionally i created a unc email back in jan, and it has @ad.unc.edu instead of @unc.edu, is that an issue (when i try to go to create and manage email at https://its.unc.edu/onyen-services/ it freezes on a loading wheel)

fluid matrix
#

its a similar thing happening with my other colleges too

inner quail
worldly aspen
#

alr thanks

#

had some budding worries in the back of my head for a while lmao

inner quail
#

I think the @ad.unc.edu is more for logins but not sure lol

#

Btw @worldly aspen what's your intended major innocenteyes

worldly aspen
#

cs

inner quail
#

Hella

worldly aspen
#

😭

#

but im interested in a lot of other things

#

so if anything it'll be cs with applied smth

inner quail
#

For sure

#

UNC is great for exploring stuff ime :)

#

I've switched majors quite a few times

worldly aspen
#

i see

#

i heard the cs application for 2nd year is more of a commitment thing than a weed out

#

do you know anything abt that?

inner quail
#

It's more to make sure that students who are committed get into the classes than something like biz

worldly aspen
#

ah sounds good

#

i got honors + will probably get lots of credit through aps so im trying to see what classes i can do for first year

inner quail
#

Hell yeah

#

If you need any help with schedule planning feel free to ping

worldly aspen
#

tyty

fluid matrix
worldly aspen
#

have you looked at the credit list?

fluid matrix
#

mine are from local cc so they should transfer

#

but im just not sure what classes i need lol

worldly aspen
#

ah you mean cc credits

fluid matrix
#

im also cs

worldly aspen
#

you can search up your cc name here

#

mine dont transfer but thats fine cause i wanted to retake diff eq and lin alg anyways

fluid matrix
#

yea mine is on ther

#

so i basically have to take english 105

worldly aspen
#

are you part of honors?

fluid matrix
#

im not

#

does that change things

worldly aspen
#

im in honors and they require you to take their english class for 1st year i believe

#

but idk about non-honors

worldly aspen
#

if it could transfer or not

worldly aspen
#

ah i see

#

yeah honors makes me have to take eng 105 anyways

#

so ig there is intentional overlap which makes sense

fluid matrix
#

i wish i could test out of eng 105

#

i got a 5 on lang but i dont even get anything for it lol

worldly aspen
#

yeah we just get out an eng elective lol

#

which might be useful in later years i think

fluid matrix
#

wait where are the gen eds we need to take

worldly aspen
#

huh we need to do one of these

fluid matrix
#

yeah i saw that

worldly aspen
fluid matrix
#

alr

worldly aspen
#

is it this?

inner quail
#

bc they want everyone to take their english class lol

#

altho i think transfers might be able to skip it

inner quail
#

These are the things you need to take your first year-ish

#

Language requirement isn't but you need to do IDST 101, FYS/FYL, Triple-I, and ENGL 105

fluid matrix
#

oh what

#

the language isn’t required?

inner quail
#

First-year seminars are usually numbered with 2 digits, but there are also classes that have "first-year launch" sections

#

You don't need it completed during your first year

#

You'll need to do the language req by graduation

fluid matrix
#

ah

#

3 levels right

inner quail
#

Mhm

#

I think Dutch does 3 levels in 2 semesters but generally you'll have to take up to like "Intermediate I"/3 sems of any single language

fluid matrix
#

can you test out of individual levels

inner quail
#

I think you can place out of the language requirement

fluid matrix
#

ah alr

inner quail
#

There's a language exam you can take for placement

fluid matrix
#

I didn’t take ap but I took everything up to ap at my school so I would say I can get through level 1 but I’m not sure about the rest

fluid matrix
inner quail
#

I did Latin 1&2 in high school and placed out of LATN 101

#

I ended up just taking a different language bc I didn't feel confident continuing Latin lol

worldly aspen
#

when it says 3 levels does that mean to 3xx?

#

what if a course only has a 2xx level?

inner quail
#

It means like

#

Intro 1, Intro 2, Intermediate 1

worldly aspen
#

ah i see

inner quail
#

So like Japanese you do JAPN 101, 102, 203

worldly aspen
#

makes sense

#

prob will do korean lol

inner quail
#

Asian & Middle Eastern studies dept is insanely goated

worldly aspen
#

oh rly?

#

faculty wise?

inner quail
#

I've only had good experiences

#

All of my JAPN profs were really kind and helpful (even the "strict" one) and one of my ENGL profs was based in the dept and she was insane (positive)

worldly aspen
#

oh thats cool

#

@fluid matrix have you sent your ap scores to unc yet? if so can you see your credits in connect carolina?

fluid matrix
#

I haven’t sent my scores to unc yet

#

but I also haven’t officially committed

#

just waiting on aid packages

worldly aspen
#

fair

fluid matrix
#

In the extremely unlikely event that umd comes out to be a fair bit under 40k for me

#

since it’s at 45k rn

#

(After scholarship)

worldly aspen
#

yeah i went ahead and put deposit cause i got good scholarship

#

unless i get smth else off of waitlist im prob going

fluid matrix
#

I mean I still expect unc to be cheaper by a fair bit

#

but I’m considering umd since it’s well established in cs and I don’t need to reapply for major

#

But those two things are getting fixed at unc

#

or are closer to being fixed now

worldly aspen
#

i see

fluid matrix
#

How abt you what decisions you have left (waitlists)

worldly aspen
worldly aspen
#

couple others are rice gt and cmu

fluid matrix
#

yeah I’m just waiting on cmu

#

but I doubt that’s gonna go anywhere

inner quail
#

Duke poopoo

#

Just do interinstitutional enrollment

#

Guys i'll commit to UNC tomorrow
How does the housing and dorm pairing works?

inner quail
#

I think you can even do larger groups for suites if you have more than a +1

worldly aspen
#

are single suites 4 people per suite?

fluid matrix
#

iirc there’s 2 two person room suites and 4 two person room suites

fluid matrix
#

I stand corrected

worldly aspen
#

i assume its 4 rooms per suite

fluid matrix
#

yeah I’d assume so

#

manning west suite looks real nice

worldly aspen
#

dont think first years can have those

#

filter by 1st years

worldly aspen
#

oh nvm thats craige north

fluid matrix
#

@inner quail how do i change the email address format to first letter of first name + last name again

#

or is that not possible

fluid matrix
#

(i changed my name so im not billert anymore lol)

inner quail
fluid matrix
#

yeah i just want to change the front part

#

if thats possible

#

the part based on the onyen

inner quail
#

Without changing your onyen?

#

I don't think you can

#

the ad.unc.edu one is more for login but they both work

#

so you can just give people the @unc.edu address and its fine

fluid matrix
#

ohh alr

#

lemme try something

worldly aspen
inner quail
#

mhm

#

the ad.unc.edu is meant for logins

worldly aspen

alr ty

oh ahaha yea i totally remembered that 😭😭😓😓

thank you!

Any idea when aid comes out?

scenic jasper

Got my acceptance package

#

What are the best majors at unc?

fluid matrix
#

like what they’re best known for?

scenic jasper
#

The strongest programs

fluid matrix
#

ah

#

business for sure

#

and then med related stuff

#

bio

#

I’m not sure what else though

scenic jasper
#

Is business competitive to get into

fluid matrix
scenic jasper
#

UNC is like 26k cheaper per year than that

fluid matrix
#

ah

scenic jasper
#

Debating if I wanna go to unc and do business or something

#

Idk

fluid matrix
#

why Ds specifically?

scenic jasper
fluid matrix
#

ah

scenic jasper
#

And as you can tell, im not dead set on it

#

So im open to pivoting

fluid matrix
#

honestly idk how to answer your question just cause DS is a iffy major

#

well by iffy I mean fairly new

scenic jasper
#

Yea for sure

#

Can I ask what u want to study?

fluid matrix
#

I’m doing cs

#

which unc isn’t super well known for

scenic jasper
#

I didn’t apply as CS on my application. Can I still do cs or nah

fluid matrix
#

at unc yeah

#

you have to take the courses and stuff related to it though

scenic jasper
#

I would like unc a ton if I can minor on cs (I wanted to major in stats and minor in CS), but unc doesn’t have a cs minor

fluid matrix
#

I would be surprised if they didn’t have a cs minor but then again they’re trying to limit number of ppl in cs

scenic jasper
#

Kind of dumb

fluid matrix
#

I feel like with the situation they had before it was kind of necessary

#

not much resources for cs and had people majoring in it struggle to get classes

inner quail
inner quail
inner quail
scenic jasper
inner quail
#

CS isn't competitive at all though

#

It's less "weed out lesser CS majors" and more "make sure that CS majors get into the classes they need to graduate"

scenic jasper
#

What do you study, Mr googibaba

inner quail
#

Biology & environmental science with a certificate in applied data science

scenic jasper
#

What’s a certificate

inner quail
#

There are only a few undergrad certificates but it's like a minor but... different lol

inner quail
#

I'm a data monkey

#

I'm planning on doing a dual degree ES BS - MSIS

scenic jasper
#

What is that

scenic jasper
inner quail
#

Environmental Science BS - Master of Science in Information Science

inner quail
#

I forgot who told me to put it in my name

#

But I did

#

Although I will (hopefully) be working at the med school

#

Doing bioinformatics/computational biology

scenic jasper
#

This was what I originally was interested in before I pivoted to data science stuff for the bigger (and better?) job market

inner quail
#

Pretty okay I think, will be easier once I land an internship/get done with grad school

#

I'm looking at NCSU's MS Analytics as well

#

I want to do data stuff in envsci and biology (evidently) so the more broad masters program should be good

#

For flexibility/backups

scenic jasper
#

Not gonna work out of undergrad?

#

Dead set on grad school it seems like

inner quail
#

If it works out, I should have a FT job after grad

#

Odds are I'll still go for the MSIS anyways at some point tho

graceful iris
#

any predictions if SAT/ACT is gonna be required for this year applicants?

inner quail
#

I feel like UNC will inevitably go back to test required because the stat inflation has been insane

#

Or at least test flexible I take this back, I dont think many schools are considering this as an option

graceful iris
inner quail
#

Let me find the ACT example from 2019-2020 and 2022-2023

#

For UNC:
2019-2020 cycle

  • 69% submitted ACT
  • 57.5% had a score 30-36
    2022-2023 cycle
  • 32% submitted ACT
  • 77.8% had a score 30-36
#

Less people submitting lower scores has led to an "inflation" in the reported statistic

#

Its not that people get into UNC bc of the high scores average admitted score is getting higher; people with low scores who get admitted arent sharing the score anymore, making the overall "average ACT" appear higher

graceful iris
#

ohhhhh got it thanks!

Hi guys, I committed to UNC today. Is there an insta gc or discord server?

inner quail
worldly aspen
#

been a bit confused on the availability on single suites - the housing website says that ehaus and hojo offers single suites but looking around a little leads to imply that they're double suites - could someone clarify?

fluid matrix
#

How do you see that

inner quail
#

Idk if its the same on new shitcord layout but at the bottom of the server list (below the +) should be an icon

inner quail
fluid matrix
inner quail
#

I dont know anything abt the suites tbh

#

Just that singles anywhere are the hardest to get lol

#

Tried 3 years for a single with no luck

fluid matrix
inner quail
fluid matrix
#

I hope so

#

also I ended up joining a few of the unc servers from discord hub

#

Although none of them were class of 28 related

inner quail
#

a lot of the year-specific servers die really quick

Guys i am confused whether to opt in for granville or erhangaus/south campuses

#

plz plz guide me with this

imo id go south campus, i feel like everyone i talk to who goes granville hates it

the thread really disappeared for me

Anyone get financial aid stuff yet

FAFSA is still fucked rn

tranquil tartan

how does chapel hill and nc state bme school work

I'm not sure what you mean by "how it works"

like transportation and like is it worth doing somthing like that

etc etc

fluid matrix

uw Madison was the first

i mean you have your first sem or so to figure it out more, you can apply anyways and then re eval after your first year

#

@inner quail how does housing work if you have someone in honors in your suite group?

#

would they only be allowed to have honors dorms if all of them are in honors?

worldly aspen
#

honors dorms is only cobb i believe, which have corridor style, not suites

inner quail
#

Its basically either (1) everyone lives in a suite or (2) the honors kids pair up as roomies in Cobb methinks

fluid matrix
#

Cobb isn’t suites?

#

That’s kind of surprising

inner quail
#

Nothing on north is suites

#

That's kinda the thing lol, south/mid is suites, north is halls

fluid matrix
#

ohh it’s north campus

inner quail
#

Yeah

fluid matrix
#

idk why I thought it was south

inner quail

Lol
