Congrats!!! Was the letter from a specific department or from general admissions? What is you intended major? All these questions from an anxious mom. Wonderful news and congrats!

I wonder when they will release, they haven’t even said which date.
It was from general admissions. I still don’t know if I was directly admitted to business which is my major. If that does not happen, it is unlikely I attend because I guess it is super competitive to try and get in if not already admitted upon entering.
Congrats!!! Was the letter in a small letter envelope or a big folder-type envelope?
It was a bigger envelope because it had a few large flyers about housing and stuff in it with the letter.

We’ve discussed above that applicants who reach the semifinals of the Morehead-Cain process are not guaranteed admission to UNC. Some shared that most semifinalists get in but there have been a few known cases of semifinalists who were denied.
I’m wondering now about finalists. My son is a finalist (I understand around half of the finalists are awarded the M-C) and hasn’t yet heard back from his EA application (no likely letter and I think EA results are next Friday).
Wondering if anyone knows if finalists are always granted admission. It would be kind of funny/odd to actually get an offer to the M-C but be denied from UNC. Just curious what the folks on this forum know of. Thanks!
First, congrats to him, what an accomplishment! Second, he HAS to be, I don’t know how they could justify making him a finalist yet not accepting him, that doesn’t make any sense. Exciting.

are we expecting to hear back around this time next week?
Yes, I expect It will be in the 6-7pm est range based on last year, but it could change.
Last year we found out around 4:00 on 1/27.

Which time zone?
Morehead-Cain is a separate institution from UNC, so while it’s unlikely that your son would get denied as a finalist, it’s certainly possible. My cousin was a semifinalist and got strait up denied OOS. I unfortunately didn’t make it past the first round but am still hopeful. You never know what UNC wants in an applicant, whether it be if they’re a good fit, declared for a certain major, etc. Good luck to your son!
Does anyone have any portal astrology with UNC???
Ok thanks. I guess I’ll just be patient then. Will know for sure next week!

It’s possible since they’re separate, be prepared, but I’d be surprised if that happens.

has anyone else received a likely letter? if not is it too late to receive one?
Has anybody else received a likely letter today? It should be in a large envelope.
I don’t get the point of likely letters this close to EA results? Unless the applicant applied RD (edited).
