General question, where do sophomores typically live at UNC? My son was selected for Global Launch this fall, so dorms in the Spring. Iâm slightly concerned about Fall of 2025 if he is out of the country when students are locking in housing for the following year. Thanks

I have same question! My son is prob doing GL (Costa Rica).
My unrelated concern w/ GL was if it would impact getting the pre-reqâs for acceptance to the Kenan-Flagler undergraduate business major.
He is choosing between UGA, which admits you directly to the Terry School, or UNC, in which you apply to biz major after first year with a ~50% acceptance rate.

I think most of the courses offered in GL fall into the elective category. Itâs a 3 month vacation in another country with a bit of education thrown in
Does anyone know how UNC recalculates HS GPA?
I donât think they do.
According to the CDS, the average HS GPA for the incoming students in the fall 2022 was 4.47

I donât know for sure but thatâs probably the average of weighted GPAs submitted. Our hs doesnât weight GPA so UNC may have used a weighting formula (eg commonly +1 for AP and +.5 for honors).

Agreed. I think itâs the average of weighted grades. I donât think they have time to re-average grades for all of their applicants.

I happy to see they finally posted the CDS. Thatâs fairly recent - Iâve been checking off and on. During application season, I ended up emailing the OIRA asking when 2022-2023 would be posted and was told they were reconsidering how to present the data and had no end date in mind. That puzzled me a little â because the questions are pretty standard. I do think theyâve changed the language a little in places.

This bugged me as well. They were one of the few that didnât have 22-23 up in the fall. They have listed âtest scoresâ in the third most important column of âconsideredâ which seems disingenuous when you look at data on the NC insight database. There is a very clear advantage to submitting scores so itâs odd they wouldnât indicate this on cds. Application season is over but I do find this interesting. Thanks for sharing that the CDS was finally released.

The reply I received when it still wasnât available after EA apps were due was really dismissive honestly. The wording was basically â we have no target date for this âwork.â My guess was they were withholding the cds on the heels of the court ruling, but the 2022-2023 data was already water under the bridge by the point the ruling happened. One of my theories was they were debating that chart of whatâs âconsideredâ (eg legacy implications). The cds is supposed to be a helpful tool. I was frustrated not to have access to it until now.

Itâs interesting how they drug their feet on posting the CDS, however I was able to pull it months ago via a Google search or other link if I recall. They had a version elsewhere on their website but not posted under the CDS section.

Is UNCâs deadline to enroll still May 1? Waitlisted, and worried that the FAFSA delay is going to push any waitlist decisions late into summer.
Mine is waitlisted too. I think what they will need to do is enroll in another school, and then if magically they move off the waitlist they can enroll at UNC and loose the deposit at the other school. Maybe not? I mean I donât really know anything.
UNCs waitlist was already late in the summer. Deadline still 5/1 from what I see, but I would not count on them taking from the list, or taking very very few. Last year oos was over enrolled so I donât think theyâll draw from that group much at all
We know not to be very hopeful, but they did mention several rounds of decisions. I have read posts from previous years where the first round started a few days after the enrollment deadline which is why I hope they donât move that back too far.
Hi, curious if your daughter got accepted to UNC, my daughterâs academic/athletic profile is very similar. Thanks
