University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill! Headed there end of July! Anyone else?

For those of you who have decided on UNC, have you received any emails/news to register for classes or to start on the assignments that they'll have us do? Based on last year's paperwork, it seems like the email was sent for incoming MSW students to start on the writing assisgnment April 5 but it's already the 25th and I haven't heard a thing!

Just received an email from Jill Molee regarding Scholarship Awards! For everyone who applied before the April 1st deadline, heads up -- the letters are coming soon!

I applied for standard full time.

I submitted my application the morning of the early dedeadline, Dec 11. I heard back February 22 in the afternoon by email! I hope this helps.

@MaggieC I was worried about this too and had already sent my letter as SDSU was the first school to accept me. However, I called them to ask if it was a "permanent" decision because asking someone to make a decision about the next major step of their lives in 10 days is ridiculous! The girl I spoke to, Angela Albert, said that once those letters are received, SDSU will send an OFFICIAL admission letter with a $250 deposit sometime late March/April. THAT will be the official permanent deal for them! As is with most schools in CA, nothing is official without payment. -__-

Hi gatesdb, That is super exciting! Excited to meet you this summer! When do you plan to move to Chapel Hill?

Hi Wil_2004, I just got my acceptance to UNC yesterday (Feb 26) and I wanted to reassure you that they look at your whole application. Before I was extremely nervous because from what it seems like (their representatives, their webpage) that the GRE is weighed heavily. My GRE scores were horrible: 158V 148 Q and Writing 5.5. The only portion that I somehow managed to do "okay" in was the writing portion. Math scores was in the 38%. I did not do very well in STATS either. With that said, I felt like I wasn't even qualified enough to "APPLY" to an elite school like UNC, but did it anyway. I worked very hard on my personal statement and somehow pulled through! My overall GPA was a 3.1 and my Major GPA was a 3.9. Don't worry too much!! They notify you by email so heads up! Good luck to you

Just got accepted into UNC Chapel Hill's MSW program today! My god, my heart is still shaking from the news. Can't believe I got into the program that I thought was a long-shot! Has everyone here decided to head to UNC? Good luck to those still waiting! Acceptances are coming out!

Hi Everyone, I just got accepted into UNC Chapel Hill and SDSU this week! Is anyone else headed to UNC this fall? If you can tell me how it is to live in North Carolina (as I am from San Diego), that would be great! Good luck to everyone still waiting for responses!
