Ahh. This information about UNC is very... disconcerting. I have received no updates on my application whatsoever -- it still reads as "submitted" -- and have only heard of three others in the program (on here) receiving an update on the status of their applications, two of which were rejections... I had sent an inquiry to the professor I'd been in contact with a couple of weeks ago but never received a response. My heart had been set on this program. Does anyone know why they have been so slow to confirm and reject?

Long-time lurker here… I’ve completed my MA and am hoping to pursue a PhD. My focus is Medieval – particularly, wood/stone/ivory carvings and some small metals/jewelry. I applied to several programs but my heart is set on UNC Chapel Hill. A couple of applicants have posted their results from this institution, both acceptance and rejection, but my application status has not changed beyond “submitted.” I’d been in (seemingly very positive!) contact with Dr. Verkerk as well as a graduate student presently enrolled – I sent a follow-up email a couple of weeks ago but received no response, which I assume is a bad sign. Any advice or insight from those of you reading? Another poster had stated that their welcome weekend was on 3/3. Does UNC notify applicants if they have been waitlisted? Is there a different process for applicants already holding MAs?
