Update on Transfer Decisions II

Good afternoon. We posted the majority of our decisions for transfer applicants on Friday. We thank all of our applicants for their patience as we carefully reviewed more than 3,000 applications for admission. We appreciate your interest in us and the time it took to prepare your applications. Letters will be mailed very soon.

Our phones are very busy today and in order to better serve those of you who may have been on hold, we'll post a list of frequently asked questions. Your comments and questions are welcome and we'll do our best to answer them here.

I was not offered transfer admission this year. Why?
We regret that we could not offer admission to everyone who applied this year. Due to the increase in applications, we had to turn away many students who would have succeeded here. No students are admitted or denied on the basis of a single number, and as part of our holistic review, we take everything we know about our applicants into consideration as we make our decisions. For this reason, and we're very sorry, but we're unable to provide individualized feedback to our applicants.

To all those applicants we could not accommodate, we hope that you will consider applying again. Sophomore transfer applicants are welcome to apply again as juniors and all applicants (sophomores and juniors) would do well to consider Carolina for graduate school in the future. Our students travel many paths to Carolina and not all are the same but those who join our community have an outstanding experience regardless of how they enter Carolina.

I am a transfer applicant but did not receive my decision.
A number of transfer applications remain under evaluation. We are releasing new decisions every day from 5 p.m. - 7 p.m. Please continue to check your MyUNC account. Please note that some of these applications remain under evaluation because we needed more information. If you have received an email from us requesting more information, it's very important that you respond as soon as possible.
