<p>I know this is random, but I received a scholarship day invitation a few days ago. What does that mean? Am I accepted?</p>
<p>@fashionlover12, yes. If they invited you to Scholarship Day, then you are one of the few, the proud, the accepted. Congratulations!!</p>

I love this song. Great to run to…</p>
<p>Still no email!! Last name G in Florida!</p>
<p>fashionlover,
Yes, Congratulations you are accepted!! My sister went to Scholarship Day in 2006-07? I wrote you earlier, but deleted it because just too much detail. But the day was lovely and impressive on many levels. Everyone got very decent $ and everyone got into the Honors Program! You should celebrate!!</p>
<p>I’ve seen a few people post they are from Greensboro, and I live in the Jamestown/Greensboro school district. Good luck to you all. Hopefully letters will come tomorrow as they sometimes come a day earlier than they release the decisions online.</p>
<p>Thanks Brothy. I am also in the Jamestown/Greensboro area. Hopefully these decisions come out soon</p>
<p>I think the outage could be to prepare the system for the load of the decision releases. I really don’t think they would release decisions and then shut down the system. Although at this point they are just toying with us so anything’s possible hahaha</p>
<p>The outage is completely unrelated to admissions decisions and is just poor timing on their part.</p>
<p>any chance the mail will arrive before online decisions are posted?</p>
<p>I’m coming home lunchtime-ish tomorrow, so I will let you guys know if I get anything in the mail.</p>
<p>DS received his email at 8:06 pm. We live in MD. Last name W.</p>
<p>I’m sure they have someone foillowing this and it probably drives them crazy that we are driving ourselves crazy. </p>
<p>The only thing we know for sure for those of you who have just come on board is that we will hear by the 30th and will receive an email notification to check online (don’t know if today’s email counts as that or not) and that there will be a mailed notification as well, which may come before, the day or, or after receiving the emailed/online notification. </p>
<p>All of that having been said, for those of you who are enjoying trying to second and third and fourth guess, there has been another change in my son’s page and when I click on “Pay Bills/Manage Student Finances” I now get the following message:</p>
<p>“Online payment is temporarily unavailable at this time. (21516,32) Online payment is temporarily unavailable at this time. Please try again later. We are sorry for any inconvenience.”</p>

<p>Thank you katrin and southerndude! I just didn’t want to get prematurely excited :)</p>
<p>Still no email here! :(</p>
<p>I knew that two years ago UNC accidentally sent out erroneous acceptance letters (I think that’s when it was). Just discovered they had a bit of a snafu last year as well, though not as egregious as having to withdraw erroneous acceptances. From a Jan. 20, 2012 CC post :</p>
<p>"The message below is from today’s UNC admissions blog. And I actually agree. no letter yesterday. no letter today. (and I live 40 miles from Chapel hill.) and no decisions online. And no communication from admissions people today. Nothing. Dead silence. UNC is not my first choice, but still… </p>
<p>------------------------------from unc admiss blog</p>
<p>“UNC has made an interesting marketing blunder in all of this. Some applicants got letters and some did not yet—making those who didn’t feel 2nd class and unwanted. Any decision now might be good news, but very anti-climatic. UNC missed a major opportunity—all applicants getting their decisions together (online) would have made a very special celebration—now, the decison many families have waited on has turned into a miserable waiting game and has made the admissions staff look inept and foolish. NCSU had MORE early applicants and made its deadline in Dec. Duke had 31,000+ applications for Early decision and let ED kids know Jan 2. UNC had 13,000 apps (down this year) and NEVER could provide a decision date. REally had to re-read them that many times? Ask State and Duke how its done if it is that big of a problem. And snail mail? How quaint…and not the technological image UNC should be presenting. Your system might crash? Update it or here again, ask State or Duke or others how to do this right. What a strange mess.”</p>
<p>My guess is they are VERY skittish about getting it wrong again. We will hear when they are sure they are getting it right.</p>
<p>I have mixed feelings about this. Firstly in UNC’s favor they have been very clear from the start that decisions come out on the 30th. Also if this is questioned the same answer is given…
The problem is that in previous years the decisions have come out earlier than promised thus creating all the speculation this year…</p>
<p>Yeah. They’re consistently inconsistent. That’s the problem. Either release them the 30th every year or give us an earlier, concrete date.</p>
<p>Decisions were received in the mail by in state students on the 19th last year (probably not by all) and decisions went online on the 20th at 4 pm. While I agree w you to an extent, Thp, I do wonder why the process there seems to take so much longer than at other schools, esp as for out of state students, it has to be easy for them to cut out a big chunk early in their review process because they accept so many in state. Son already heard back from 3 other EA schools weeks/months before their reported decision dates.</p>
<p>According to one of my friends there was a short period where it said decisions were available then they were unavailable again.</p>
<p>how can he prove this and why didnt he check?</p>
