UNC Chapel Hill (2025-2026)

[wild remnant]

The better blue

[coarse storm]

ain't no way it's the better blue

[jade latch]

does anyone go here rn

[somber socket]

Yeah a few folks

[somber socket]

Unc blue is more iconic than Duke blue

[coarse storm]

nuh uh

[worldly heath]

unc 👴

[jovial pine]

never heard of it

[somber socket]

Crazy account 💀

[fiery anchor]

Better blue indeed 🔥 🩵

[coarse storm]

noooo 😢

[fiery anchor]

Sorry Talya 💔

Duke blue is number 2

[coarse storm]

you should be. although i did work, volunteer, and study at unc for like a year so i cant complain too much

and my college roommate married a unc grad 😭

[fiery anchor]

Reminds me of the med student I talked to at my primary care appointment, asked me where I went to school and told me he prefers to go to Franklin St than whatever's in Durham

Which is crazy imo bc I love the food around Durham

Maybe Duke will take me for a postdoc. Then I can complete the RTP trifecta

[coarse storm]

yes!

or travel somewhere new if you like exploring new places, could be cool too

[wild remnant]

Nope

You’ll be the first to attend if you get in

[merry flicker]

hello future uncs

[somber socket]

North campus

[somber socket]

Will I be able to get my bio 101 class this semester? 💀 Is there just not enough seats for people

[merry flicker]

my friend said she got placed in like an intro to archaeology lecture because she couldn't register for a class she acc wanted 😂

[fiery anchor]

People move around a lot esp for high-demand classes -- just be patient and trust the process

Absolute worst case scenario you'll take it next semester

[somber socket]

So I'm in a late English 105 class and when I press validate for enrollment for tmw it says I cant enroll in the English 105 twice

Do I have to drop the English 105 or can I press enroll and it automatically swaps them out

[fiery anchor]

You'll have to use the actual "swap" feature to swap them

Bc it wont auto swap

[somber socket]

Where is that?

[fiery anchor]

Are you using old or new UI?

I know on old UI there was a bar on the enrollment tab with like Add/Drop/Swap

[somber socket]

I'm using the new UI

Interesting

I can't drop it now no?

The one I have rn ends at like 3:45 or something

[quiet fulcrum]

Is a 1490 SAT sufficient for Chapel Hill?

[fiery anchor]

I would say so

[quiet fulcrum]

ok. thank you

[rancid fiber]

unc ‘30 moment

[quiet fulcrum]

yep

[willow cloud]

does unc fav nc residents??

[merry flicker]

Yeah

[silver widget]

im tryna find out if is worth it for me to apply to unc can anyone help

[merry flicker]

are you in state or oos

and what major

[silver widget]

I'm in-state and im trying to major in either computer science, data science, or information science

[fiery anchor]

I think it's worth applying. Info sci is fantastic at UNC, and a double major with DS or CS (or even stats/math) can really strengthen quantitative skills. Super easy to double major too

[silver widget]

I have a 3.58 unweighted and 4.21 weighted gpa though. I'm really unsure if I'm competitive for it

[fiery anchor]

You're totally fine!

[silver widget]

Really? I thought unc was one of those uni's that emphasize high gpa more

[fiery anchor]

It's more like OOS/Wake/Meck inflates the shit out of it lol

Also on the CDS they report weighted GPA as "unweighted accepted GPA"

So they report an avg accepted GPA of like 4.2/4.0 or something

I don't want to pretend that UNC is a cakewalk or super easy to get into, but you definitely don't need to statsmax either :)

[silver widget]

wait so those r the hardest counties?

I'm in cabarrus its right above meck

[fiery anchor]

Highest amount of applications I think

I can check the dashboard

But yeah Meck has Charlotte and Wake has Raleigh so

UNC System Applied, Admitted, Enrolled Interactive Dashboard

@wild remnant could we pin the dashboard again ^

[wild remnant]

Can you add a caption to that message so people know what the link is

[fiery anchor]

aye aye

[silver widget]

380 applied and 130 got in

For my county

damn thats way lesser than I thought

[fiery anchor]

You can also check your specific school if you're in NC

[silver widget]

120 applied and 45 got accepted from just my school

[wild remnant]

[quiet fulcrum]

i might be cooked

[fiery anchor]

Elaborate?

[quiet fulcrum]

15%

[smoky jay]

6.63?????

[fiery anchor]

It's NC state law that UNC system schools cannot have more than 18% of their incoming class OOS, unless they want a multi million dollar fine
So yeah when an ever increasing amount of OOS students are applying with limited seats it will be very low :P

[silver widget]

im so glad im in state bro

[merry flicker]

🙏

[smoky jay]

that’s really interesting

i’m surprised 6.2k instate and 2.8k oos and 1.1k intl acceptances turn

[trim pilot]

jumpscare??

[merry flicker]

YOU are the jumpscare

[trim pilot]

i saw you in the gtech thread too 😭

[merry flicker]

Well yeah why wouldn’t I be in there

[trim pilot]

no bc ur unc i thought you left server after apps yk

[merry flicker]

no i wanted to watch ur grade suffer

[trim pilot]

as you should ngl 👑

[night gust]

[dull swallow]

it’s so over

[night gust]

nah

im getting flashbacks to last year when i was applyin by seeing the new threads lol!

[dull swallow]

yes

it is absolutely over

for me

might need to call it quits and just go to charlotte

[night gust]

whats making you think that?

[dull swallow]

i have like no progress on my personal statement and I am in a straight mental block

i cannot for the life of me think of something good to write about

[night gust]

tip for unc in particular: loves outgoing people who are dedicated to public service

everyone is an extrovert here

so bank on public service

[dull swallow]

i have heard that I have a bunch of friends going there

[dull swallow]

ill see, I haven’t done much but I’ve volunteered with my church and I also work a job at a retirement center

would it be worth talking about some specific experience at either

[night gust]

as for stats, median SAT last last cycle was 1470 and and 97% had an unweighted 4.0 GPA

[dull swallow]

97%

good god

yeah im not making it

[night gust]

im taking this directly from their common data set

[dull swallow]

ive gotten two Cs I definitely don’t have a 4.0

[night gust]

just cross your fingers but dont think that its the end of the world based on your college decision

[dull swallow]

ehh

i guess

[night gust]

they didnt release the common data set from last cycle yet

which is honestly weird cuz a bunch of other colleges did lol

[dull swallow]

ive heard it’s easier for this years applicants

[night gust]

500 new seats but 25,000 more people applied

so not really

[dull swallow]

yeesh

[night gust]

adding new spots made it more competitive tbh

what are you majoring in?

[dull swallow]

polisci

[night gust]

oh okay, yeah unc would be great for that, they are #20 in law too iirc
are you looking at OOS options?

[night gust]

thats pretty good, bank on that

[dull swallow]

nah i dont plan on going oos

i want to stay in nc

[night gust]

ah okay

fair enough

[dull swallow]

plus oos tuition I dont want my parents to pay for that + my sisters tuition since she’s graduating in two years

[night gust]

yeahh

[dull swallow]

are you going to chapel

[night gust]

i am in chapel hill right now

[dull swallow]

nice nice, mind if I ask your stats and ecs

[night gust]

i applied OOS, so i also had a bunch of other OOS applications as well and was gonna give you some if you wanted

[dull swallow]

oh you got in oos too

that’s good shit

[dull swallow]

if you could that’d be great

[night gust]

4.0 UW 10 APs + 1540 equiv SAT + hundreds of hours in volunteering + various code projects that ive submitted for rankings/awards + student council/long distance team/intl piano stuffs

[dull swallow]

[night gust]

i was kinda all over the place lol and applied for B.A. in CS and then switched over to B.S. in Biology

[dull swallow]

that’s insane

[night gust]

i got cooked by like

a lot of schools

[dull swallow]

doesn’t matter ur at the best one now

[night gust]

all it takes is one tbh like expect rejections its part of the cycle

ask dr squirmy if you have any questions on UNC they've been super helpful

RIP bio midterm no curve 💔

[dull swallow]

yeah if I dont get into chapel hill im probably gonna go to charlotte (or wake forest if i get in)

[night gust]

btw transferring is super viable

[fiery anchor]

Tbh just start writing
You can always cut stuff that's bad, you can't edit what's not there
I know writing is hard but once you start, try and motivate yourself to keep going, even if you're just writing bullet points. Any progress is good progress!

[night gust]

even for like Cornell and Stanford

transfer rate is pretty damn high

so if yo0ure interested in that, by all means i highly recommend

[dull swallow]

will look into it

[night gust]

i dont like to think of any school being the "best"

because it all comes down to the program and a lot of other factors

for example: turing UT austin CS full ride trumps harvard CS

[fiery anchor]

UNCC and WFU are still goated af, and I know a lot of UNC system classes tend to transfer between schools (if that ends up being the path you go down)

[night gust]

even turing UT Austin CS alone honestly trumps Harvard CS

meanwhile if its for law school, it'd be the other way around

god harvard law school has so much aura right now LOL

with the entire trump arc

[night gust]

and like, for me, i had to pick between UIUC CS+Math or UNC Biology, so i chose UNC Biology

it depends on which school offers whichever program is best for you

[dull swallow]

yeah everyone I know is breathing down my neck about chapel hill and acting like all the other unc colleges aren’t good asw

[night gust]

you can thrive just fine going to any other college, but are you planning on going for pre-anything?

or just only bachelors

[dull swallow]

just bachelors probably

[night gust]

alr

[fiery anchor]

No shade to Chapel Hill but I've been absolutely loving NC State LOOOL like sure CH has a ton of prestige and its earned it but that absolutely doesnt mean other schools in the system are worse

[dull swallow]

state is great too

[fiery anchor]

Looooove state

[night gust]

yeah the only thing you may miss out on going to other places is the sheer amount of opoprtunities that are happening 24/7 at chapel hill, @fiery anchor can confirm lol, pitn is active like actually 24/7 and clubs for practically anything you could think about + the staff system is super responsive and writing center is actually peak, super helpful and booking is really fast

and im sure networking is pretty important for polisci, UNC has like networking events happening all the time, large business gatherings with students wearing formal suits, kinda cool

but you could definitely make things work going anywhere else, as long as you have a fire burning within you, you can make things happen

[dull swallow]

lowk dont know much about state other than they have a great engineering program

[fiery anchor]

Yeah state is the goat for engi and ag

[night gust]

and if you're coming here for engineering, idk man

highly recommend you apply to UIUC for engineering

UIUC or Georgia Tech

and if instate its NCSU

[fiery anchor]

Weaker for HASS compared to other UNC system schools (esp CH) but absolutely not bad

[night gust]

isnt agriculture like super good at UNC?

anything life science related UNC is great

[fiery anchor]

UNC ag related stuff is more history/anthro iirc
State is very technical/hands on ag

It depends on what aspect

[night gust]

ahhh

i see i see

[dull swallow]

state is the only college campus I’ve been on

[night gust]

ngl UNC campus better than duke

havent been to state but i prefer unc from the pics

[night gust]

duke campus is so mid and then theres just a random church in the middle of campus 😂

[dull swallow]

went there once because my precalculus teacher agreed to give us extra credit if we took a picture in front of the wolf ear structure

[night gust]

we have THREE churches here that dont stand out like a sore thumb

beat that

[night gust]

lmaoo

[fiery anchor]

State is very urban, but still pleasantly green for how urban it is
But I'd probably have to say I prefer UNC's campus because it's more green (even tho NCSU has more green architecture type stuff)

[night gust]

unc buildings are so cutesy old-brick styled on the outside

and you go inside and its super modern

ii love it

@dull swallow ok though tbh, when it comes to pure academics, the only schools that you woudld really have to worry about is Caltech, MIT, UT Austin Turing Program, and Georgia Tech engineering program

literally all other schools in america dont care about academics as much so long you can spin a cool story with wacky ECs :)

[dull swallow]

good to know

my high school is like

[night gust]

people make it into traditional ivies very year with a 1300 or 1400 SAT

[dull swallow]

insanelyyyy competitive

[dull swallow]

yeah but then they’ll have diabolical ecs

[night gust]

you just need to have like good, interesting ECs

[night gust]

how so

how many APs are offered/do you know your high school's median SAT?

[dull swallow]

I couldn’t even count the amount of aps offered

Let me check

[night gust]

because comiong from california, our median SAT was 1400 in my public high school of 2400 people

[dull swallow]

It’s a school where if ur not taking aps ur considered dumb

[night gust]

and i knew many taking 16+ aps

[dull swallow]

More like 4+ aps per year

[night gust]

yeah

maybe youre coming from a place similar to where i came from then :0

[dull swallow]

26 aps

at our school

[night gust]

all 26? damnn lmao

[dull swallow]

yeah and lowk

[night gust]

is it public?

or private?

[dull swallow]

public

[night gust]

oh wow ok

[dull swallow]

wait I might have miscounted

we dont have hug and seminar

but looks like every other ap I can think of is here

[night gust]

dang ok

btw

[dull swallow]

yeah so I took a bunch

[night gust]

if youre planning on staying in this server, heads up, people are going to start dropping once decisions come out

[dull swallow]

got a few Bs few As one C

[night gust]

like, by dropping i mean getting banned from the server

[dull swallow]

why’s that

[night gust]

they freak out in chat

there was this one dude who like absolutely crashed out it was crazy

[dull swallow]

bro what

why

[night gust]

college decisions

[dull swallow]

ohhh

lmao

thatll be in like january ish

[night gust]

overasll though this community is great

a2c subreddit is fried

a2c discord is lovely

[dull swallow]

lol

yeah I couldn’t even ask for help in the reddit something about karma

idk

[night gust]

i may still be in here if 3 years later when i plan on applying for more

[dull swallow]

same

yeah so 26 aps most people I know are taking 4-5+ each year

and honestly I didn’t do like any in school clubs besides fbla

[night gust]

@dull swallow one thing that i randomly remembered and want to tell you about is that, UNC has a crazy amount of opportunities that give you direct pathway upon application/acceptance to Duke, Harvard, JHU, and other neighboring t20 universities for research, reserved only for students - you just gotta check your email

[dull swallow]

alr

[night gust]

colleges often work with each other, though its more or less of a closed circle-ish

[fiery anchor]

UNC connections are crazy good

[night gust]

yeah its so much infomation i feel my head spinning looking through my emails

[hexed lagoon]

sorry, what does connections mean in this context

[willow cloud]

Is unc transfer acceptance rate for instate students the same as first year instate applicants?

[gusty mortar]

any internationals who got into unc? im applying for biology from an asian country and need stats advice

[fiery anchor]

I dont think they're the same, I think it might be higher due to CC transfer agreements? But I'll have to check dashboard

[willow cloud]

can you check for me?

From what I’ve seen the acceptance rate was 45% for transfer

[fiery anchor]

from here (using fall 2024)

• overall admit rate: 36.4%
• NC CC system: 50.5%
• UNC to UNC: 41.1%
• NC private to UNC: 38%
• OOS: 30.7%

@willow cloud ^

[willow cloud]

Unc to unc?

[fiery anchor]

like within UNC system transfers

so like wilmington to chapel hill, ncsu to chapel hill, etc.

[willow cloud]

oh yes yes okay

[tiny jay]

Hey! I was wondering if anyone has applied to the morehead Cain scholarship I had a few questions

I havent finished with Robertson fully yet but I ll have questions later for that

[rancid fiber]

It’s been a sec but yea what’s up

[stray wraith]

is anyone here an econ bs at unc

im considering a double major and debating between ba and bs

[rancid fiber]

I know a few people who are but I’m not myself

[rancid fiber]

Biggest difference is bs is more cred hours but looks better

[fiery anchor]

BA generally works well as a 2nd major if its ur 2nd since it has more flexible reqs

Its worth it to talk to econ advising bc BA vs BS may be better suited based on career interests and goals

Like in the bio dept they only push the BS for premed (specifically MD) and ppl wanting to go to grad school for research

[lost geyser]

did anyone do the supps yet

[tame oriole]

yes

[silver widget]

am I fried for getting into unc chapel hill if I'm in-state, have a 3.58 unweighted gpa, 4.21 weighted gpa, 33 act, and a couple CS/AI internships?

[fiery anchor]

No

[silver widget]

whyd bro react with that

[silver widget]

why

[fiery anchor]

I mean, what answer are you looking for?

Your profile is fine for UNC

[silver widget]

well my gpa is way below average so I thought it wouldn't be fine for UNC

[fiery anchor]

It's holistic, so they'll account for everything else in your app too

[rancid fiber]

it really depends on context

but you never know if youre actually fried

[silver widget]

Oh ok

[silver widget]

oh like what

[rancid fiber]

Like how competitive it is and stuff in your area

And also average stats in your school and etc

Lot of factors that go into it so hard to say how it’ll go for you

[silver widget]

121 applied and 46 got in from my school

[dull swallow]

13 days

[near wyvern]

does unc weigh your course rigor and gpa more than essays for out of state students?

[fiery anchor]

There isn't really more or less weight between them relatively speaking
However, as an OOS student, you are competing in the "OOS pool" moreso than the in state pool (since they can only admit x% OOS). So the GPA/course rigor they're looking for might be relatively higher for OOS students because of the relatively higher competitiveness (that is, the students you'll be compared to will have higher stats)

[silver widget]

anyone here majoring in cs at unc?

[rancid fiber]

yes

[silver widget]

How is it

[rancid fiber]

I’d say it’s pretty solid

Definitely can tell that cs isn’t a huge school but def good

[silver widget]

Oh

[silver widget]

what were the ec's that got you in

[rancid fiber]

I personally don’t think my ecs were all that crazy ngl feel like my academics did more

but I was a varsity captain, part of a npo (yes only the millionth one) and then some random stuff

[silver widget]

Oh

my ecs aren't that crazy either

just a couple internships

[merry flicker]

a couple?????

slow down bro i have 0 😭 🗿

[lost geyser]

should i namedrop professors in my second supp

[tiny jay]

for the video essay submission is this a big part of the moreheadcain video essay

I think I messed up on it

[rancid fiber]

Sounds pretty good to me I’m ngl 😭

[rancid fiber]

What is that one again

[tiny jay]

It's talking about what academic topic would you like to study

[rancid fiber]

I’m ngl I don’t really remember if it was a big part but I’m sure you’ll be fine

[rancid fiber]

Oh that one

[tiny jay]

Thanks!

[rancid fiber]

I’m gonna say it really depends on sort of how you name drop them

[tiny jay]

Also does doing ncssm online help in chances of getting into unc? with good ecs and essays ofc

[rancid fiber]

I’m don’t think it does directly but generally I feel like if you can get into ncssm online you have a good shot but that’s just a guess

it does look good though

They take note of your grades there as well so might help if you’re doing well there

[tiny jay]

Ok

[rancid fiber]

I haven’t checked my file but a friend saw this in his admission file^

[lost geyser]

i named drop them bc i said i wanted to do research with them since their research interests aligned w my passions

i wrote my essay abt anthropology and this professor does research w anthropology but concerning human dev.

[rancid fiber]

I would say as long as you’re specific enough as to why you chose him it’s fine

without going too into detail

Cause I’ve seen many times where people just choose someone random in the department with no particular reason shown

[fiery anchor]

I feel like namedropping for undergrad admissions is excessive and I agree it depends on how
It may be best to focus more broadly on the specific offerings at UNC that focus on human dev in anthro and then maybe pull him in for a sentence on the specific 1:1 interest match. Less like "I want to research with him" and more like "this is what is special about UNC" if that makes sense

[lost geyser]

i referenced two anthro classes that i believe i wouldve beem really interested in (living medicine & war and peace) and then i talked abt SURFS and then study abroad programs, is there anything else you think i should talk about as well?

[silver widget]

yeah my one good ec is interning at this company and building an AI agent

[rancid fiber]

I’d say that’s pretty solid

Are you instate or oos

[silver widget]

Instate

[rancid fiber]

Ok yea your odds are pretty good cause instate is relatively quite high

But I can’t say for sure obviously

[willow cloud]

how can I do internships as an online hs student

I feel that I don’t have many ec’s to do since I’m homeschooled

I would love to do an internship but idk how

for my ec’s so far.. I host Zumba classes on the weekends, I have a TikTok page that focuses on skin health and fitness, I plan on volunteering at a hospital this winter and shadowing a dermatologist

and I’m applying as a transfer (instate) since I do dual enrollment

I wanna major in exercise science

are my ec’s good? should I add more

[willow cloud]

and i go to the gym but i don’t know if that should be counted as an ec 😭

but it’s smth I do outside of school so 🤷‍♂️

[fiery anchor]

You're fine

Take a deep breath

You don't need to have 50 major-relevent experiences to have a chance at getting in

Your ECs are fantastic (especially if they're things you enjoy doing)

One of my roommates was EXSS :) seems like a very fun major

[willow cloud]

YES okay ❤️

[fiery anchor]

What in EXSS interests you?

[willow cloud]

well I really love staying fit and I wanted to learn more about the subject

and abt the human body too

tbh I’m doing this major bc it’s something I feel like I will enjoy

my goal is to become a dentist

and I didn’t wanna do the normal route and pick bio or chem

[fiery anchor]

Sorry if it came off judgmental lol, I was just interested because I feel like EXSS is a "hidden gem" major

Almost everyone I've met from EXSS is super cool

[willow cloud]

oh your good 😭

[fiery anchor]

Lots of very cool EXSS classes too

Feels like a more "applied" flavor of premed bio lol

[willow cloud]

yesss so true

your a nc resident??

where did you go for undergrad

[near wyvern]

hi can someone read my chapel hill supps

[fiery anchor]

Yep. I went to UNC for undergrad, bio and environmental science

Currently at NCSU for my phd

[willow cloud]

omg fun I love how you stayed in nc for ur education

[fiery anchor]

Can't beat it in-state

Plus NCSU's program for my research interest was perfect :)

[silver widget]

yea but I have a 3.58 unweighted gpa and 4.21 weighted😭

[near wyvern]

who do i put for the authorize to share my college application discussion with

is it to ask people about my application or just share my decision w them

i just put my counselor and my parents

[chilly kelp]

Is it better to apply EA or RD as out of state

[hexed lagoon]

EA is always better

[fiery anchor]

+1 EA is always better

This is anecdotal but I submitted EA and in my admissions folder thing they made the decision within a week of me submitting

[near wyvern]

can any1 read my supps pls

[somber socket]

Both are taken into account I think, it's very important to show that you're a person behind your application but also UNC is a pretty academically competitive school

Even in state students

I be hearing the wildest shit from freshmen around me

😭

"oh yeah I used to be a research assistant and took images of the cochlea"

"I designed a synthetic fiber"

It's not that deep tho I'm out of state and I didn't do anything crazy outside of my scores

But my situation is a lot different

Your milage may vary

Focus on what you can control rn (essay and application)

[near wyvern]

alr tysm

[silver widget]

what was ur gpa

[merry flicker]

half the people that went from my school were this type of person and then the other half did the bare minimum 😭

[somber socket]

3.95

But no AP's

But I didn't have access to them the majority of my hs career

So again your milage may vary

[heady geyser]

guys should i apply ea here

i dont have my common app essay done or any supps but i am going premed route and i heard the school is good for premed

i also like the campus and location, i just dont know about cost because im oos and have a budget of around 30k per year

[fiery anchor]

You have two days, friend 🫡

[heady geyser]

i am procrastination master

[merry flicker]

hell nah bruh its basically 1 day at this point

idk if you can pull it off if ur personal statement isnt even done but you can try 💀

most people ik at least had their personal done and just half assed the supps in a day or two and got in but that's because we're all in state 😹

[silver widget]

Oh

guys what’s the best time for submitting to unc chapel hill?

is the website gonna crash on oct 15 or not because it’s only unc chapel hill due that day?

[fiery anchor]

Best time? A week ago
Second best time? As soon as possible

[merry flicker]

i had a friend who submitted at 11:59:59 by some miracle and she is currently attending so make of that what you will

[rancid fiber]

I’ve never heard of that one ngl

I did dual enrollment in hs applied normally and so did a lot of my friends

[rancid fiber]

Ngl i did it the last day

I go here now

take that as you will lol

[rancid fiber]

Ah I mean it’s still really depends on context and all yknow

I know guys here with similar stuff

[rancid fiber]

ehh unless you get scholarship here might be twice that budget but I’d still go for it since you never know

nvm I take that back if even ps isn’t don’t then you might be cooked

[heady geyser]

Yeah bro still havent started

Lmfao

[rancid fiber]

😭

Dont all the other EAs have deadlines this month too

[heady geyser]

Might not even ea anywhere brah

Im fried

[rancid fiber]

why not out of curiosity

[heady geyser]

Honestly yah ima js put together a decent caps and some supps

See where it takes me

[rancid fiber]

I’d strongly reccomend EAing to some places at least

Wait what’s your list looking like if no EA

[heady geyser]

Still same

Even if I dont ea ima rd to them

Going like 5 reaches nyu jhu Columbia cornell duke

Maybe some more

[fiery anchor]

🎉

[silver widget]

damn

i heard the website crashes the night of the deadline

is this true for colleges due oct 15 as well or no because theres so less colleges due oct 15

[quiet fulcrum]

is there more priority if you submit earlier before the deadline ?

[rancid fiber]

Safety’s/targets?

[rancid fiber]

I don’t think so

[rancid fiber]

It happens sometimes but I did it the morning of and it was fine

Then again i wouldn’t reccomend

[heady geyser]

Safeties like random suny and cuny and target stonybrook bing

[silver widget]

Oh

also do I have to send the request to all my recommenders before the unc chapel EA deadline or can I do it after cuz the rec letter is due later??

[rancid fiber]

Def send all requests beforehand

[rancid fiber]

Ah

[vivid rampart]

Lemme transfer here plz

[willow cloud]

actually I’m not sure I’m gonna talk to my advisor abt that

did the credits you do in dual enrollment transfer to unc?

[rancid fiber]

Yeah they did

I had the courses in additional courses on common app and then sent in transcript once it was time for all that stuff

[wild remnant]

UNC EA apps are due today!

If you have any questions, ask in this thread, but here’s an FAQ you can read first:

What time are EA applications due?

11:59pm in your time zone.

I’d rather apply RD now. When are those apps due?

January 15.

I turned in my application at 11:58pm in my time zone but Common App says I submitted a couple hours late!

Why did you procrastinate so much Common App records all time stamps in Eastern Tome regardless of where you’re located. You don’t need to worry about this time stamp.

I was fully late with turning in my application. Am I doomed?

If the school took your money, then they also took your application. You’re fine.

When will I hear back from UNC?

Typically, you’d hear back for EA in late January and RD in late March regardless of your residency status. This year, UNC has changed their decision release dates to be a bit different:

• EA (NC residents): by December 20
• EA (non-NC residents): by February 10
• RD (all applicants): by March 31

I applied for the Morehead-Cain Scholarship. When will I hear back?

Mid-December for semifinalist and mid-January for finalist.
@everyone

[vivid rampart]

Submitting in oct just to get it back by feb is crazy 😭😭

[willow cloud]

oh

ok ykw I guess I’ll apply for first year then

bc for ecu on the common app they asked if you did dual enrollment and if you wanted to apply as a transfer student

[rancid fiber]

wow ea for instate comes back December now?

[merry flicker]

WHAT

[rancid fiber]

Thats a bit over a month earlier than what it used to be dang

[merry flicker]

THATS CRAZY

😭

[rancid fiber]

rip non residents tho extra 2 weeks wait time

[merry flicker]

skill issue

[willow cloud]

anyway how’s unc @rancid fiber

what’s your major?

[rancid fiber]

I like it it’s pretty nice

[willow cloud]

yess

[rancid fiber]

I’m comp sci stat and math minor

[willow cloud]

oh nice

[rancid fiber]

You’re applying rn right

or already applied*

[willow cloud]

oh no 😭

I have a couple of years until I apply for college

2-3 more years

[fiery anchor]

Wow

[rancid fiber]

Man yall are getting started early with this stuff

[willow cloud]

lmfaoo yes

[rancid fiber]

I mean honestly good for you helps a lot knowing this stuff earlier

[wild remnant]

More like 6

They used to all be late Jan

Now it’s late Dec and early/mid Feb

[rancid fiber]

Isn’t new in Feb for ea

[wild remnant]

Oh I thought you were counting between resident and non resident ea

But if you’re counting from the old one yeah it’s 2

[rancid fiber]

Ohh I was just saying old vs new

[heady geyser]

Are any other t30 ea due today

[silver widget]

lets goo im a resident i dont have to wait

[night gust]

i love the grade deflatioin in this university

[fiery anchor]

Grade deflation until ur in upper divs 🔥

[quiet fulcrum]

would anyone be willing to give a quick look over my common app essay before I submit to UNC tonight? It sounds ass and I would love a second opinion

[hexed lagoon]

If you think it's bad, apply RD

If you want to apply EA, then someone reading it wouldn't make it any better

[quiet fulcrum]

its not horrendous, but i think getting some suggestions would help

[dull swallow]

good luck guys

were making it out 🥺

[silver widget]

gl everyone🙏

[valid glen]

did anyone get the portal login stuf yet 😮

[tame oriole]

yes i got it

[valid glen]

was it through your email?

also how long did it take

sorry for all the questions 😭

[tame oriole]

i submitted around 7pm oct 13

and got it 9am oct 14

[tame oriole]

yes

and no worries lol

[valid glen]

oh alr

[valid glen]

[tame oriole]

🔥

[valid glen]

oh thanks

[silver widget]

are u in state or oos

[daring pawn]

yo guys i might be fried

i think i only had 1 teacher rec before submitting

and 1 of my counselor recs asssigned

but i missed to assign my oos rec

can i go back and find a way to make my mentor upload it before supplement deadlines?

[silver widget]

nah u cant but unc chapel hill only requires 1 teacher rec so you'll be fine for the most part I think

[daring pawn]

so the assigned counselor can upload but i cant assign my mentor now and have them upload?

[near wyvern]

when i submitted i forgot i still had to register for a class for the 3rd and 4th quarters of ym school year for one of the periods and i just chose an elective today; does this need to be reported? its just an elective

[valid glen]

oos

[somber socket]

not everyone gets it at the same time, give it a few days

[valid glen]

ty 😄

[silver widget]

yep

[rancid fiber]

I don’t think so but you could contact them to try

[rancid fiber]

I would just reach out to unc saying that but I doubt it really hurts you in any way

[valid glen]

[silver widget]

Are you out of state if so thats normal I think

[timber heart]

I think only in state

Get it

[tropic mason]

i’m not in state and I got it

I even got a letter in the mail

[alpine breach]

The letter is a generic thank you. It does not mean anything.

[wild remnant]

[tiny jay]

Waiting for decisions is killing me

[somber socket]

you got this

[somber socket]

is this at unc

[wild remnant]

no i just posted reels in multiple threads to revive them

[somber socket]

😭

[wild remnant]

whatever came on the feed that i use to follow a2cers

[somber socket]

my 1st semester unc experience has been great

i think its such a big school that you can find like minded folks

so far professors have been really good

and the humanities classes engaging but i lowkey gave up on it

campus culture is chill

idk about partying but i think its underwhelmign compared to other unis

you can tell who's bright and genuinely a good person vs people who feel very smart just for being at the uni

I don't feel a sense of elitism here

its definetly a play hard work hard environment and ive seen folks with super incredible achievements who are my age or even younger

dining hall started as a solid 7/10 but i think its more of a 5/10 cause im getting sick of it

but you have other options with plus swipes (you only get 35 per semester with any plan) like chic fil a and subway

dorms really vary in quality

and dorms on the south of campus mean you have to walk 15 minutes before you reach any lecture hall

as a queer perosn i feel safe and theres a large community and its mostly liberal save the business white boys

[jade latch]

how diverse is it therr

i alwsys thought it was hella white people

[fiery anchor]

its PWI but its not like youre drowning in white ppl

at least in my experiences, its more about the ppl you seek out & the majors youre in rather than it just being innately white

its a big enough school that its somewhat what you make of it?

[somber socket]

oh yes i forgot about that

there's many asian students

really lacking in black representation

and you can definetly tell who has never lived a life around systemic inequality

and culturaly inept

but you'll find a diverse group of friends if you look for it

it does give off so much white energy on game days 😭

[merry flicker]

Doing gods work

[jade latch]

good shit

[jade latch]

makes sense! def moving up on my list then

[somber socket]

If you're from a poorer background definitely apply

I'm oos but got the covenant scholarship because my family doesn't make a lot

It is something for lower class folks if that makes sense but I was surprised I got it

I'm in state for UConn and they wanted me to pay 15k per year

😭

[fiery anchor]

this is true

this isnt necessarily related to that but it reminded me
you have a wide range of ppl so you get the like "UNC was my dream school/reach and im so grateful they offered me aid to attend" to "UNC was my safety" (which tend to correlate a bit with the ppl who have/havent experienced inequality)

[amber thunder]

Did anyone apply to robertson?

[rancid fiber]

I will add to this tho that there’s buses that stop right in front of south campus if you’re not feeling the walk

oh that’s 5 days old 💔

[fiery anchor]

love the UNC buses

i only really rode the S/FCX but they were my goats

[somber socket]

This is true

[somber socket]

No worries

[silver widget]

Did anyone get a decision early

[magic juniper]

thats athing?

[mint fox]

@somber socket can I please dm, wants to ask you some stuffs privately

[sharp bloom]

don’t we get it around 20th?

or can it come earlier too?

[magic juniper]

yea thats what the official date is

[rancid fiber]

Is that even a thing

[magic juniper]

i dont think so lol

[rancid fiber]

Yea I’ve never heard of it either

[magic juniper]

the in state accpetnace rate is roughly 40% ea right?

[rancid fiber]

Yeah roughly

although that rate is usually only there in the cities near it

aka near the rdu

and then charlotte

[magic juniper]

so for the other cities that are rural what do u think the in state ea rate is

[rancid fiber]

Definitely lower by a lot

For example from wake county

[magic juniper]

Why is that?

[rancid fiber]

on average you’ll see 50-100 kids a high school getting in

[magic juniper]

I go to a small private school in Charlotte and I do IB, is it bad that I’m not worried one bit abt decisions?

Like I’m genuinely super confident I won’t get ejected

[rancid fiber]

I mean not really

I was like that too

I would say that I knew several people who also felt the same

which is just the case given the rather high instate acceptance rate and in my case high stats / good ecs

[magic juniper]

Yea that’s what I was thinking

[rancid fiber]

to be honest from what I’ve seen unc has been quite focused on hard numbers for the most part with minimal weight on ecs in comparison

[magic juniper]

If I was oos I’d be cooked but in state I feel like I’m chilling, people with a much less compelling narrative/spike got in last year from my school

[magic juniper]

Yea I peeped GPA is #1 priority

[sharp bloom]

do you think it’s the same for essays?

[rancid fiber]

I’m not too sure for essays but mine were horrible and written the day before

[sharp bloom]

cause tbh I was just worried abt my personal statement cause it def wasn’t as good as it is now by the time i submitted

[rancid fiber]

So take that how you will

[sharp bloom]

ahh got it

[magic juniper]

I don’t think so

[rancid fiber]

also keep in mind it looks like unc has changed their system of decision making since I did so

[magic juniper]

Kids from my school last year got in with shit essays

[magic juniper]

How so

[rancid fiber]

They seem to have separated out oos and instate

which wasn’t the case before

I’m not sure how that fares for new applicants tho

[magic juniper]

Oh for release dates?

[rancid fiber]

Yeah

It seems like a gt type of ea now

[sharp bloom]

I’m in state but it’s really weird bc I’m doing hs in India so idek what I come under

[rancid fiber]

With their ea1/ea2 system

[rancid fiber]

They use rds

or wait is it rcn

I forget exactly

[magic juniper]

He’s

Yea

[rancid fiber]

but it’s the number thing associated to your name that shows if you qualify as in or out of state

[sharp bloom]

hmm but I have like a rcn

[rancid fiber]

Does it say you’re in state

[sharp bloom]

Yeah I’m considered in state

[rancid fiber]

Then you should be fine

[magic juniper]

Hopefully we get in

[magic juniper]

How do u like UNC btw

[sharp bloom]

yess otherwise I have to apply to more safeties/targets 😭😭

[rancid fiber]

I think it’s pretty nice ngl

Good balance of work to fun

[magic juniper]

Are u into like the frat and drinking culture

[rancid fiber]

A bit yeah

[magic juniper]

If I get rejected from chapel and Yale EA’s I’m gonna rope lol

[magic juniper]

I’m not too much into that so I’m wondering how I’ll fit in

[rancid fiber]

trust there’s other good ones too

[rancid fiber]

You’ll be fine

Many of my friends don’t do it as much

But some do party alot

I’ll say depending on major it varies a lot tho

[sharp bloom]

when I toured campus it just felt like one big circle

it might’ve just been because I went once but do you like it?

[rancid fiber]

it’s definitely a smaller campus in terms of size

But I personally feel like it’s nice

I can get anywhere on campus under 30 minutes walking regardless of where I am

[magic juniper]

Word

[rancid fiber]

I will say tho housing is annoying here

[sharp bloom]

omg my friend literally lives in an attic

[rancid fiber]

Off campus gets pricy and dorms are limited

[rancid fiber]

point in case lol

[sharp bloom]

fr like wdym now I might have to write honors supps for nc state and worry about my other decisions

[sharp bloom]

oh that’s nice

[magic juniper]

Fuckkkkk NC state ngl, I just took them off my list

[magic juniper]

😭😭

[rancid fiber]

This is nice cause unc is a beautiful campus imo

Lots of greenery and older style buildings

[sharp bloom]

bro might dad might literally make me go to unc charlotte for the tuition

[rancid fiber]

not as nice as Duke but still nice

[rancid fiber]

isn’t tuition similar

[sharp bloom]

so nc state is better

[sharp bloom]

Like I mean if I get rejected from chapel hill and nc state

[rancid fiber]

ah

[sharp bloom]

but get into better schools oos

[magic juniper]

I got into Charlotte but I got rejected from Levine program

[rancid fiber]

Ngl depends really on how much better the oos school is

[magic juniper]

Yea^^

[magic juniper]

Duke dining hall clearssss

[sharp bloom]

yeah that’s fair

[rancid fiber]

Dukes campus as a whole clears ngl

[sharp bloom]

oh congratss I still haven’t gotten anything

[rancid fiber]

not a huge fan of the overall student body tho

it’s weirdly elitist

which I guess makes sense given the average demographic there

(Not saying all the Duke ppl are bad but just something I’ve noticed a lot lol)

[magic juniper]

Yeaa, I’m applying rd

[magic juniper]

Dw you’ll get in lol, it has a 80% ar

[sharp bloom]

yeah same

[magic juniper]

That’s what my parents said

But man that dining hall

[rancid fiber]

Yeah ive visited Duke a few times every single time I’ve been there one of the first questions I’ve gotten has been “did you not get in here”

[rancid fiber]

I hear you lmao

[sharp bloom]

yeah it’s my only safety so if I don’t yikes

[rancid fiber]

expensive school but you def get what you pay for

[sharp bloom]

isn’t there smtg like if you’re under 150k tuition is free?

[rancid fiber]

Yeah there is

[sharp bloom]

for nc and sc residents

[rancid fiber]

although a majority of the students are generally over that

[sharp bloom]

fair enough

[rancid fiber]

oh wait

isn’t unc ea out soon

Like this month

[sharp bloom]

yess like 10 more days

[rancid fiber]

Oh wow that’s soon

good luck

btw

For nc state if you applied to goodnight or park you should be able to see your decision

idk if it’s still a thing but when I applied they let me log into student portal and see my stuff

ofc doesn’t mean anything if it’s empty

[magic juniper]

10 days baby

[sharp bloom]

thank youu

[rancid fiber]

I’m sure yall got it

ppl on here are very smart

[sharp bloom]

manifesting 🤞🤞

[fiery anchor]

Yeah

One of my roommates was still bitter she got rejected from Duke as a junior even tho she had an internship with a state rep

Guess legacy didnt carry

[magic juniper]

That’s crazyyyy

[rancid fiber]

Ngl I was too when I didn’t get in

[somber socket]

You can but I'd prefer for you to ask here so it can help other people

[somber socket]

It's not prevalent you can hang around with like minded people who also don't do that

[tiny jay]

Thank you :>

[tiny jay]

Yay

[tiny jay]

Me

[magic juniper]

me

bruh

my video

got interupted

cuz of a fucking spam call

[rancid fiber]

💔

[amber thunder]

I got my question answered with the duke robertson people best of luck!!

[amber thunder]

That’s horrid 😭😭 Did they let u retake?

[magic juniper]

yea but i feel like there not gonna consider me

what were ur 2 questions

[amber thunder]

I don’t even remember, I felt like I was yapping nonsense and fumbled but the past is in the past

[wild remnant]

when in state ea decision date

[sharp bloom]

by 20th

[magic juniper]

lol

[fiery anchor]

Interviews dont play as big of a role in admissions as you think
The CDS says its not considered as part of your app

[magic juniper]

W weren’t talking abt chapel

I didn’t even know chapel did interviews

[valid glen]

i don't think chapel does

most publics don't no

[fiery anchor]

Oh rip lmao

Misread

I'm sure theyd understand tho

[fiery anchor]

Honestly idk

[magic juniper]

is anyone not scared abt chapel?

i feel like ur an auto admit if u have communti service, decenet EC's, 1400+ SAT, straigt A's in a rigorous courses, and few leadership position in clubs

and ur not from wake county

[silver widget]

i got all of that except straight A's and leadership position

and im from cabarrus county

[magic juniper]

Is that rural?

[valid glen]

i'm oos :c

[fiery anchor]

Wake & Meck are tough

[magic juniper]

I’m in neck💔

I swear last year bums got in from meck ea

[magic juniper]

Meck

Ok yeah it’s still 1 in 3

I think applying early makes a HUGE difference though

[fiery anchor]

Agreed

I was from Wake and my counselor told us if we wanted a chance at UNC to apply early lol

I dont know how true it is for other schools but it was basically ingrained in me to apply EA where ever possible

[magic juniper]

For other schools it’s important but at UNC it’s crucial

[tiny jay]

Same

[tiny jay]

Im in a rural area im a bit worried cause I just got deffered from clemson

I also didnt submit scores but im retaking the act

[magic juniper]

Are u in state NC?

[tiny jay]

Yes I'm in nc

In Pitt County

[magic juniper]

Clemson defers everyone oos ea

[tiny jay]

Oh

😓

They should be like unc and have release dates for instate residents and then oos

[magic juniper]

Ya

[magic juniper]

How do u feel abt the 20th?

[tiny jay]

Pretty chill I hope I get in. I just dont want to be overconfident

What about you

[rancid fiber]

Wake is a mixed bag imo

there are ways to guarantee getting in (mainly class rank wise) but hard for sure

[magic juniper]

Word

[magic juniper]

I have a 98th percentile sat for NC and straight A’s in the IBDP with a lot of community service and club leadership so I’d be suprised if I got rejected tbh

[magic juniper]

Is this ego though?

From my understanding they admit everyone competitive in state in the early action round

[magic juniper]

Yeah but the ur going up against some of the craziest talent from the south

I’m pretty sure the triangle is the most competitive region west of the Mississippi and south of D.C

[silver widget]

its mostly suburban i think

its right above meck county

[magic juniper]

oh gotchu

[frozen smelt]

union county is now starting to become as competitive as mecklenburg

[golden jacinth]

any1 know when ea is gonna come out for in state 😛

[mortal sentinel]

ive een wondering this

[golden jacinth]

if i dont get in i might actually shoot myself likeee

[mortal sentinel]

ive heard speculation that its tomorrow

[golden jacinth]

TOMORROW...

[mortal sentinel]

yes

it would be consistent with last yeat bc they released a week early

[golden jacinth]

okok

thx for letting me know

[golden jacinth]

do u know what time they sent it out last year

[merry flicker]

i remember saying ts last year

[golden jacinth]

stop cuz its my target in state

[merry flicker]

its ok you will get in 🙏

[golden jacinth]

thats very sweet ty

[mortal sentinel]

4:00 pm

but once again its unprecedented

[gloomy parrot]

was hoping it was today but they didnt release :(

i saw a lot of people say it usually comes out the friday before so i thought it was today

[magic juniper]

Chapel EA tmr

?

[wild remnant]

no

will not be on a weekend

maybe friday the 19th

[magic juniper]

I’ve heard some chatter about it being this wknd

[wild remnant]

was it on reddit

[magic juniper]

It’s slated for next Saturday

[magic juniper]

No in my own school

[wild remnant]

says who

[magic juniper]

It’s been on their website for months

In state EA decisions come back on the 20th of December

[wild remnant]

it says by

not on

[magic juniper]

Oh yeah

Well some ppl at my school are saying this wknd so idk

[wild remnant]

unc typically does fridays

[magic juniper]

True, last year I remeber it was on the Friday afternoon

[wild remnant]

this whole thing happened with the michigan kids today too

they all swore itd be today

[magic juniper]

Cuz of that stupid cube lmfao

[wild remnant]

and some redditor said georgetown would be sunday 6pm and it was today

[wild remnant]

apparently the cube does have merit but only on the admissions page which this was not on

[magic juniper]

The ppl at my school have serious connections with Carolina’s undergraduate office

[wild remnant]

ive never looked much into cube tho

[wild remnant]

in what way

[magic juniper]

Everyone’s just super connected

[wild remnant]

everybody says that icl

[magic juniper]

😭😭🤣

[wild remnant]

there was a kid who begged us to change mihcigan to today bc "my friend's dad works in the admissions office"

[magic juniper]

That’s so bored😭😭😭😭

Son I’m crine

[silver widget]

isnt it dec 20

[golden jacinth]

yes but it usually comes out earlier

[wild remnant]

By Dec 20

Not necessarily on

Unlikely to be on bc it’s a Saturday

I’ve heard that AOs enjoy Friday afternoon decisions bc the weekend comes after and they don’t work weekends so when a parent tries to angrily call abt their child’s rejection nobody can pick up the phone!

[silver widget]

Oh

so it could be dec 13?

[wild remnant]

Highly unlikely

Bc weekend

[silver widget]

Oh

[silver widget]

I wonder how many parents actually do that lmao

[gloomy parrot]

what are the chances for it being next friday (dec 19)?

or could it come earlier?

[wild remnant]

I expect the 19th yes

[magic juniper]

🤣

Hopefully it drops Monday

[wild remnant]

Helicopter parents exist

[merry flicker]

theyve only done friday for a few years now i think

so unlikely its monday

[fiery anchor]

Probably most likely

[teal patio]

Last year they put out an ig and tiktok post a day before the decisions came out iirc

[merry flicker]

yeaa

[magic juniper]

Can they please release decisions before Yale lol

[tiny jay]

I thought jt was dec 20th

[tiny jay]

Whats ibdp

[magic juniper]

Ib diploma program

[golden jacinth]

y r we mutuals where do i know u from??

[tiny jay]

Ncssm??

Thats the other server ur in

[golden jacinth]

OH

[tiny jay]

lets js say when i moved into my gt dorm in august i was shocked at how clean the room was 💀

after my experience with the ncssm dorm

[golden jacinth]

ncssm full of mold

and never renovated

[merry flicker]

frfr

i was doing research at nc state so i wasnt in the dorm most of the day

but the one day i stayed inside for a full day i got dramatically sick

😭

[magic juniper]

Chapel out!!?

[gloomy parrot]

did you get it?

[magic juniper]

Did u?

[gloomy parrot]

nope

still waiting to see if i got an update

[mortal sentinel]

i got nada

[rancid fiber]

True ig it’s skewed coming from me since I viewed it similarly (I applied with no safeties and was fairly confident abt getting in)

I don’t think it’s particularly bad to be confident abt getting in based on your situation imo

I think wake + ssm might account to close to 20% of the freshman class ngl

[rancid fiber]

Yea def recommend air purifiers for unc ppl

esp if sensitive

[dense scaffold]

Craziest talent in the south going to a different rdu school 😛

[rancid fiber]

idk ik some pretty crazy ppl at unc and some pretty mid Duke students

[dense scaffold]

I prob know the Duke heads you know

[rancid fiber]

oh wait where do you go

[dense scaffold]

Duke

[golden jacinth]

how do you like it so far!!!

[rancid fiber]

Ngl I like it a lot

[golden jacinth]

thats great to hear!!! i have freshman friends who love it too

tbh ive never heard of anyone disliking unc, but maybe thats just bias hahaaha

[dense scaffold]

GTHC

It is a nice school tho ngl

[rancid fiber]

yea there’s the rivalries but imo not many people actually hate it

[golden jacinth]

had to google what this was lol not a nc native

[dense scaffold]

It’s a state and duke thing

I’m p sure

[rancid fiber]

I didn’t know it was a Duke thing too

assumed it was just a state thing

[dense scaffold]

We been on Carolina hate

[rancid fiber]

that I’ve seen lol

they’re all great schools tho

(although I will admit Duke is way nicer to be at)

[golden jacinth]

duke's campus looks soo pretty

but thats basically all i know abt it

[rancid fiber]

their dining hall and stuff is pretty nice

basically just the differences you’d expect between a public and private school

those music rooms make me jealous tho 😭

[dense scaffold]

Biddle is goated

[terse summit]

would also ruin some kids' weekend

especially for instate folks 😭

[wild remnant]

Well they usually do Fridays

[terse summit]

true

im hoping they js do it like tuesday or thursday

[fiery anchor]

Yeah

I think the only ppl I've seen hate UNC genuinely, are upset over really petty things that aren't UNC specific (like registration sucking/not getting exactly what they want dorm-wise or class-wise, or not ending up at the school they think they "deserve" to be at)

UNC isn't flawless (nowhere is) but I think it's a fantastic place to be and I'll never regret my 4 years there :D

[dim gorge]

why is in state and out of state ea different days 😔

[golden jacinth]

super excited!:)

[magic juniper]

Damn bruh😭😭

[gloomy parrot]

what are the main factors that determine whether someone gets admitted to the honors college at unc?

like, what are they looking for mainly?

[frozen smelt]

as a duke student i will say UNC is a fantatic school and i would strong reccomend that students go there

it has absolutely fantastic professors and very strong academic departments, i think the size of the university gives it a lot of research strength since they have resources that a lot of smaller but richer schools like duke don't have, UNC press is pretty well known overall and the # of professors means theres a higher diversity in content taught + more opportunities for research with professors, athletics are very good and school spirit is super strong, plus the alumni network is insane, i'm pretty sure theres a tar-heel cafe in washington dc just for unc alumni and students

[tiny jay]

LMFAOO

[tiny jay]

And I heard they have roaches in there too
