Hi! I applied this spring to UNC's MLS program, Maryland's MLS program, and Washington's MLIS program - all for Fall 2014. I was accepted at UNC, and just got an email today from UMaryland saying that their College of Information Studies had recommended me for admission to their Graduate School. I was surprised by both UNC and Maryland as I had understood I wouldn't hear until March. I'm still waiting on Washington, and on financial aid for all three schools.
I moved to Durham 5 years ago to attend Duke Divinity School for a Masters of Divinity. Already living in the Triangle (with NC registration/driver's license) is just one more reason why I'm leaning towards UNC at the moment. That being said, I'm waiting for my financial aid package before I make any decisions.
