Account changed to decisioned this morning also. Hoping we don’t have to wait too long to know the decision.
Same here. Changed to Decisioned this morning. fingers crossed.
I saw on another thread that UNCW had updated for some people so I checked son’s portal and it said accepted as of 12/5. No letter by mail yet, odd, it is nice that Wilm is before projected date but their system is odd. I told my son yesterday and I was excited and planning another visit to Wilm but last night he got an email from App so UNCW is off his short list, too bad because I really liked it.
Congrats to all those that have gotten in!
Agreed. It must have something to do with the system itself. They probably have to get IT to do updates after Decisioned is marked on another system. Who knows but I agree its an odd systems compared to other schools that just tell you the date/time and email your child.
Same here. My son got his acceptance online 12/6. The letter was dated 12/5 and as of 12/12 we still have not received the packet in the mail. And I’m only about 35 miles away from campus. My son is also 100% not going to UNCW-we both have tried to decline the admission but once we click on the link for accepting/declining the offer there doesn’t seem to be anywhere to decline it. Have you tried? I’d like it to figure it out so his spot is open for a kid that does want to go.
And a BIG congrats to those that got in!!
@mrk21000 agreed, it’s hard to pull admission on any school site. NCSU is the only one where I see it as a clear option and I am always afraid that I will click on it by mistake!!!
Yep. They sure make it easy to pay the deposit, though! I know what you mean about that link on NCSU’s portal. My son checks it every day but I know that decision never comes until towards the end of January so I’m not really checking it yet.
Oh well…daughter got denied. Good luck to all of you I’m sure you will do well!
Just got deferred! Congrats to everyone who got in!
Sorry to hear but the process is at times so mysterious that you don’t know why or why not. Best of luck to you and your child.
My D’s decision was deferred and we thought it was a mid-range school but that’s how it goes I guess. She has 4 acceptances from higher ranked schools. Best of luck and thanks for the info.
Wow @seniorstressing , I’m surprised your child was deferred. He had stats that appeared to line up perfectly with UNCW. I’m sure he’ll have great options elsewhere.
my daughter received a deferral from UNC Wilmington. She received her acceptance to App State yesterday so she is not bummed (thank goodness). She knew that UNCW was a stretch with her SAT scores. She has a great GPA and in all honors courses with lots of EC but just didn’t test well.
I’m sorry your daughter didn’t get in but glad she’s got options and isn’t too disappointed. Good luck to everyone at whatever school they end up attending!!
@ljasnau Same with my daughter. Great GPA and all Honors and AP courses but just doesn’t do well on standardized tests. Plus we are OOS so knew it would be less of a chance getting in. Unfortunately she loves NCSU and that is where her brother graduated from last year. Unless the sort of “legacy” status helps I know she won’t get in there if she got denied at UNCW.
Guess today was denial/deferral day as my daughter was deferred too. Same issue with test scores. How I hope this one criteria becomes less of a factor for future applicants at all schools.
@MinnieFan I agree…more schools need to offer test optional. For those looking for good test optional schools I am in Virginia and we have many great schools that offer that option.
No email here, but portal says son was accepted.
Remember, deferral means you are still in the game & they want to look beyond your initial stats to consider your app! Good luck everyone!
Yes, still no email or snail mail from UNCW, but status changed on 12/5. They really should follow up.
Same here. 12/5 was the decision and no follow up at all. Really bad on UNCW’s part. There are probably a lot of kids who are stressed about their decision, who don’t know to check their portals since UNCW said decisions come out January 20th and they sent no emails to check the portal and have sent nothing in the mail.
Just as an FYI my son received an email today saying a decision has been made and to check the portal. Also got his decision in the mail today. Better late than never I guess!
