I'll share whatever haha Just like your GPA, what you majored in, what kind of experience you had beforehand, GRE, etc, anything you think might have helped you get in. I'm not advanced standing so I don't know how similar their admission standards are for the regular program but it would be interesting to know! Also did they send you an email or was it updated in the portal? Edited February 12, 2020 by unctomsw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did they send you an email or was it updated in the portal? Also I forgot to add! The admissions person Ben emailed me directly and told me, but he said that it'd be updated in the portal in the next 24-48 hours! So I'm assuming that's when they're planning to officially send out acceptances to everyone?? I'm not sure, but I'd expect something soon! Good luck to all of y'all!!! I can't wait to hear from everyone! Ceridwen24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopefulMSW614 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I don’t think I can do this wait anymore. But unfortunately there’s not really an alternative. Any tips on how to distract yourself? I’m halfway tempted to lock myself out of my phone for a few hours tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or a walk if you don't drive) I just put on a great playlist and drove around for awhile so I had to focus on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's honestly a relief to know I'm not the only one who is really struggling with this wait #solidarity. I don't think I've ever been this obsessive about checking my email before. It's so hard to be patient but I know that thinking about it all the time is only making the wait worse. Spending time with my husband and talking to friends/family has helped me! It's also helped to plan and think positive thoughts about my other options for school/work just in case I don't get the news I'm hoping for from UNC. Happy Valentine's Day, wishing you all a happy weekend! Also, recently read this article on appreciating those "in-between" moments like this in life and I thought it was inspiring: https://www.elephantjournal.com/2016/09/when-you-find-yourself-a-little-lost-in-the-in-between/ Edited February 14, 2020 by carolhd HopefulMSW614 and UNCMSW2020 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips on how to distract yourself? I’m halfway tempted to lock myself out of my phone for a few hours tomorrow. It has really been helping me to focus on what I might do if I don't get in to grad school. I have a whole plan laid out- a completely different path that could be equally rewarding. I know waiting is difficult, but sometimes forcing yourself to not constantly check your e-mail, read this forum, or check the portal- and instead reading a book, hanging out with friends and family, and focusing on the present- it's so much better and you will likely feel much happier.

ncmsw44 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 For those who haven't heard back - does your application still just say "submitted" rather than "under review" or something? Just want to make sure I'm not the only one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncMSW Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 hey y’all! I am a recent UNC MSW grad and just wanted to pop in here and validate that this wait is so excruciating.
