Exactly like the move in date for UNC is 3rd of August doesn’t make sense
Maybe they are trying to weed some people out who can’t wait that long
Does anyone think it’s possible that some people received acceptances while some of us recieved the decision postponement? In other words, has anyone called since they made the decision to move the deadline to mid July to see if any acceptances have gone out for the waitlist?
At Uncommon Raleigh
I called admissions a week or so before they officially announced they were extending the deadline to mid-July. They told me about July but also said to keep June 30th in mind. Has anyone heard anything yet?
I haven’t heard anything directly. Prob wont till Friday. If anyone calls or has contact with admissions keep us updated! ?
Why do you not think you’ll hear anything until Friday? Did they give you any indication. I called and they said they have a high yield rate, but would not release any stats or tell me if they had any decisions come out yet just that “all students would be notified by mid-July”
This waiting is killing me, I’m an out-of-state student that’s an English major going into my sophomore year and just want some hope, but hearing that no one’s been accepted plus the high yield rate and lack of notification makes me nervous
I haven’t talked to them at all! I just meant bc they extended the deadline for so long it would be weird for them to do that because they only needed an extra few days. So I am just assuming they needed at least a week longer. So I know nothing about Friday just my assumption would be that it wouldn’t be any earlier than that day.
i also just noticed you mentioned that they wouldn’t tell you if any decisions came out already. That’s super weird. I wonder if that means they have. Bc in the past so many ppl have commented that they called and they have never withheld that.
ohhhhh I see! I agree, I called before and they said they have not released any decisions yet so I thought it was interesting that when I called this week the lady said she can ‘not release that information to the public’
What do you mean by high yield rate?

If the admissions officer explained it to u @goheels3452 or you have thoughts on what she meant then definitely share! But I took “high yield” to mean that the students that are already enrolled are returning in the fall at a higher retention rate then they assumed. This week they announced which classes would go remote. And I think they expected more people to take a gap semester after this info was announced (as so many students had threatened to do in the student paper). In past years they published they normally accept 800 transfer students and I believe I read on their Twitter they accepted 1200 this year. I think that’s why they may not be pulling off the waitlist. They over shot it trying to account for corona and were wrong.
Is today the day?
I just mentioned Friday would be the earliest they would contact us most likely but i haven’t heard anything about the 3rd directly. I do know summer school was off Friday for the holiday so they prob were not even in office.
I know this has been said but with the deadline of Mid July coming up in a couple weeks, I just wanna make one more appeal!
I’m noticing a less users /activity on this page. If you have officially signed a lease or something you can’t get out of for another school please take yourself off the list. I know ppl like to see if they made it or not even if they can’t go bc everyone works SO HARD to get here!! But with how late this mid July deadline is, they won’t reach out to anyone to take the place of someone who rejects their offer. So by waiting just to see what happens if you already know you can’t go, will definitely take the spot of someone else who Is willing and able to take it. Thank you to anyone who has already done this/ is going to do it now!! And good luck to everyone still waiting!!
With this being so late and everything being online I went ahead and signed a lease in Raleigh and if I get in I’ll go but I’ll just live in my apartment in Raleigh
I follow the UNC Transfers 2020 page on Facebook and someone just posted that they got off the waitlist yesterday
wow!! I can’t believe they sent an email on the Fourth of July! Is this a Facebook page??
Yes
