Thanks for sharing! I have been meaning to call to ask about finaid, but have been too busy to actually ask again (plus, I just don't like bothering people!). I really hope they get back to everyone soon. Don't know about you all, but I would REALLY like to know what I'm doing this fall.

I understand financial frustrations completely. I won't be going to grad school without aid. It simply isn't a possibility. So as long as I don't know about it - and I have absolutely no financial aid info from anyone yet; still haven't even heard back from UTenn and U of North Texas - I have no idea what I'll be doing come fall. Also, I know this thread is about UNC, but I noticed where you said you were accepted at South Carolina... me too! Did they give you the same line they gave me in their acceptance letter that says matriculation assumes enrollment (or something along those lines)? Also, for South Carolina, I didn't see their completely separate forms for financial aid until the other day (and the due date was in January!). Hah. Probably not actually going there.

I got another email today that said I was accepted to the graduate school. So, presumably, you can expect one in the next few days. And I hope they send it ASAP, too.

Congrats! That's great! And my email said the same thing. I assume that if you have been recommended, you will be accepted. It seems unlikely that the program would accept you without meeting the general requirements for grad school. I emailed this afternoon and asked when to expect to hear about financial aid. The response I received: "Soon, within the next few weeks, I hope!" That's not that soon, in my book. But I guess I'll have to live with it. It at least puts me a little at ease, so that I'm not attacking the mailbox every time I pass it. For a week or so, anyway. SOOO much waiting on this grad school stuff...

Thanks! I'm pretty excited, but just also just plain scared about the financial aid part. Hopefully it will work out. And hopefully you all will hear back (good news!) soon! It is really hard to try to make plans when you aren't sure what you're doing next fall!

My stats were mostly pretty good. I don't remember my GRE scores exactly, but it was 6xx verbal and 7xx math. I DO remember that I only got a 4.0 on writing (which is the one area I should have scored higher). Got a letter yesterday from USC, and I'm accepted there, too. I like UNC better, but I'll probably have to choose based on financial aid.

I was accepted yesterday to UNC! Yay! They were my first choice! Still don't know about the financial details. I still haven't heard anything from USC, UTenn, or North Texas. Has anyone else applied/ been accepted at those schools?

I got an email yesterday - I'm in! I had all but one recommendation in by the end of November (I turned this app in early). It definitely took a while to hear back. But then, I have not heard anything from the other 3 schools I applied to. Hopefully that bodes well, and that you all will hear back soon, too. Good luck!
