So has anyone got a packet yet...?
Got mine on Saturday!So has anyone got a packet yet...?
Called admissions and Ms. Oakes said that all 82 spots were filled and indirectly said there would be no more acceptances. Can anyone comment on the validity of this statement. I asked if more spots opened up from the deposits and she didn’t seem to understand what I was talking about.
I got a letter saying that I was selected as an alternate and that if a spot becomes available I would be considered for it. I had to sign a few forms and mail them back. I think they already sent out all acceptances. But it’s not unreasonable to think that some spots might empty up between now and August.

Lol then what does not alternate, not accepted, not rejected mean?
I really don’t know to be honest with you. I was in the same boat up until I got the alternate letter in snail mail. My AADSAS never changed. It’s still “under review”. I’m not counting on being taken off the alternate list. I doubt many people would give up their spots and I don’t know how many are on the alternate list. I’m looking elsewhere.

Yeah I don’t like being in the dark. I know they filled their class. But I keep getting missed signals
Yeah I paid my deposit at ECU which I’m really excited about. Just hope I have the option of ECU vs UNC. I would think unless you’re rejected you have a shot but who knows. I just hate being in the dark.
It means you are the alternate of the alternate probably.Lol then what does not alternate, not accepted, not rejected mean?

They do not send out hard copy rejection letters but they do email you about rejection.Do you know if unc gives out rejection letters or is it just kind of like a silent rejection?

any action?
January 3rd (tomorrow) is the next day they will offer admission to alternates. Good luck everyone!
I know a good amount of people who declined UNC so there should be spots opening up!

Are they OOS or IS?

Just found out some knowledge--apparently at least 6 people declined UNC for Harvard, Columbia, ECU etc. So, I second @wgodw1, spots should be opening up. The admissions committee said they are having another meeting because of this, so hopefully in the next month or so, you guys should hear something!
Just a question out of curiosity. But if they already have a waitlist and I was told on the phone that the waitlist is ranked, why would there be another meeting to discuss to fill those spots? Especially considering the people that didn't receive waitlist letters and are waitlist of the waitlist.
In an email I got from Carolyn Oakes she told me that the waitlist is not ranked. They would have to meet to reevaluate applicants.

Yes—it’s not ranked because when someone does not accept the offer, UNC has to then match that person’s gender and ethnicity because the class has to reflect the population of NC. For example, if a male Hispanic declines a spot, they have to find a male Hispanic to take that person’s place (or probably if a female White and an Asian male both declined, they could accept an Asian female and white male perhaps). There’s no ranked waitlist because they can’t predict what race/gender will decline and don’t have a replacement right then and there. Make sense?
Why have people that aren’t waitlisted and aren’t rejected. Sounds pointless.
Just got a call that I was accepted this evening!
IS or OOS?Just got a call that I was accepted this evening!
I got an alternate letter a few weeks ago!Congrats! Do you mind if I ask if you were an alternate (or got an alternate letter)?
ISIS or OOS?
It was noted before that the class was filled before January, but recently atleast six people were declining their offers and those spots were going to the alternate list. Does that mean that Carolyn meant those 6 alternate spots were filled?I called Carolyn today and she said they have a full class. Spots did not open up on Jan 3rd
Yeah that’s what I’m confused about too.It was noted before that the class was filled before January, but recently atleast six people were declining their offers and those spots were going to the alternate list. Does that mean that Carolyn meant those 6 alternate spots were filled?
I asked “so spots didn’t open on Jan 3rd?” And she said no, the class is full. So I’m not really sure if she just can’t disclose or what but that’s what she saidIt was noted before that the class was filled before January, but recently atleast six people were declining their offers and those spots were going to the alternate list.

I would sit tight for now—I could be wrong but I believe accepted students with deposit liabilities have until April or May to finalize a single school decision.Anyone know what’s going on at this point?
