Nicely done, mind sharing your stats? 

Thank you both!!

I majored in sociology and gender studies in undergrad. I have some research under my belt and a published thesis. I went to a non-traditional college, so I do't have a GPA. I didn't submit GRE scores either. I've been working at a repro health + immigrants rights non profit for the last 2.5 years and volunteering as an abortion doula on the side. I applied to UNC on 12/11 and heard back 2/21.

Best of luck to everyone still waiting!

Hahaha, same to me!!

[unctomsw]

Has anyone that applied full-time heard anything lately? I'm thinking that I probably will get rejected since it's getting closer to March 15.

[Sgk19]

Nope, haven’t heard anything yet. Do not doubt yourself. They’re just being thorough because the applicant pool doubled. March 15 is just the day they want to give everyone a decision by. You’ll be fine!!

Hi there! I applied to the full time program by 1/8, still waiting to hear something. Is anyone else applying that didn’t major in Social Work in ungerdrad? 

 

Im so nervous because my gpa is nowhere near their average, but I refused to be discouraged.

Similar to me!! I applied by 1/8, didn’t major in SW in undergrad, and also didn’t have an average-for-UNC GPA. I’m hoping my professional/volunteer experience and extenuating circumstances help me. Fingers crossed!!!

Everyone will hear the week of March 22nd, I believe. They do it all at once and pretty late.

[honeynut]

Yes fingers crossed!! This is my first choice so I really truly hope they give me an opportunity, but  we only have 2 weeks and we will find out!

Hey! I applied to UNC on december 15 and majored in sociology in undergrad--I got accepted last week for the two year/full time track.

They said decisions won't be finalized until March 15 so there's definitely still time !!!

[mwcrilly]

ACCEPTED!!!!

For those interested: 

I applied on the deadline day 1/8 for the 2 year full time, no GRE submission, 3.5GPA, psychology major/neuroscience minor from UNC, military background. I noted my interest ing working with military populations in a clinical setting. 

 

Good luck to all.

I’m getting really worried. I am hoping I make the cut or at least make the waitlist.

Same... I don’t want to call and bug but it’s such a nerve wrecking process

[honeynut]

@Sgk19 I wish they would send them out all at once, like ripping off a bandaid. Lol. Not sure why they don’t 

[Bri_Na]

I was accepted a week ago, still waiting to hear from the other places I applied. 

3.8 GPA no GRE sent, psych degree, took a year off to get experience and money. I wish we heard about financial aid sooner lol

Anyone get any news this week? It really does seem awfully quiet now.

I think they may send out some more decisions this Friday. I don’t think they’d send them all out next week? Do y’all?
