so no news equals bad news?

by the end of this week, yes.

This wait is going to be unbearable.

Now that the status checker says "If you are going to be admitted to UNC in the first round, you will have a decision by April 1," does that mean that some people will still get admit decisions (and not through waitlist) in April? I guess because it still states, "This means that we will have made our admissions offers to those who will not be waitlisted or denied by April 1," the addition of "first round" doesn't really mean anything? I was thinking since they let in a lot of people last week that there wouldn't be anymore for March, but since I wasn't one of them, hopefully that isn't true!

Essentially UNC admissions staff is so understaffed or incompetent that they can't even finish review files after 6 months. They have basically run out of time. So they'll basically "Waitlist" all the files they haven't even gotten to yet and set a new deadline on May 1 (which they may or may not reach).

I believe I heard this happened last year as well

Yep. They did the exact same thing last year. I hope they are just understaffed and not as incompetent as they appear. I was WLed last year, and I bet the same thing happens again.

Yeah, I just called and I asked if that April 1st deadline was a solid deadline for acceptances and the woman who answered told me that they will be giving out acceptances throughout April as well... So basically, no, that April 1st deadline doesn't mean much

[hokielaw12]

Who thinks more acceptances will be handed out this week? Judging by the latest post, who knows what will happen in the coming weeks.

Did the woman give an indication as to whether or not they will be giving out more decisions this week?

She said she had no idea and then said they are doing the best they can. Quite frustrating

I haven't.

I haven't.

Nor have I. It doesn't seems entirely outside the realm of possibility that we're going to have to pony up sticker price to attend Carolina.

I haven't either.

+1

[favrefire4]

[havikk13]

Did anyone recently get in that had a complete date after 12/31? I'm 1/12 and still waiting.

[PurplePirate]

So who else will be at ASD this Friday? I'm excited.

They are going to WL everyone that is at their medians or borderline.

That makes me really sad

What makes you think this?

At 160/3.4 In State I know i am borderline but, I was hoping they would release a few more admit decisions before this weekend...

Because I went through the same process last cycle. They'll admit a small percentage before April 1 and WL everyone else. Even if your numbers are WAY below their medians, they'll most likely still waitlist you because they haven't reviewed your file yet.

It sucks.

they haven't reviewed your file yet.

Why won they expand their admissions committee? I know that USC has like 3/4 people reading files and they are a little slow, but they have extended most offers by now.

I'm assuming it has something to do with the state budget cuts.
