unc admit?

[sociology27]

Anybody want to claim the UNC admit?

[elw4y8]

That's me. I got a phone call from Andy Andrews today, letting me know that I should expect acceptance materials via mail sometime in the next few days. I mentioned him in my SOP, so I'm guessing that's the reason he's the one that gave me the call. Recruitment weekend is at the end of February.

Congrats elw4y8! Sounds like you really owned in your Masters Program! Any word on whether this will be the week they are handing out acceptances or if they are phoning everyone who got in?

My first school where they are handing out acceptances (besides those Chicago outliers). The nervous factor intensifies....

Congrats on the acceptance! Did you have any contact with prospective faculty before you submitted your application? It looks like last year acceptances from UNC spanned about 10 days and I'm wondering if there is any rhyme or reason behind it.

[elw4y8]

I didn't have any contact with anyone prior to the phone call. Dr. Andrews told me that I would be receiving official documentation in the mail sometime in the next week or so, but didn't give me any information regarding other applicants. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

Thanks, I'm just trying to kill time by overanalyzing...really all that is relevant is that decisions should be coming relatively soon. Good luck with the rest of your apps, must be nice already having an offer in the bag (from a top program no less)!

If you really want to kill time, do as I do and go to the City Guide part of the forum and read about all the different cities you might end up in. It's a total time suck sitting there fantasizing "well what if I want there....I wonder what living there is like. What do other people say?"

Then, of course, as you start getting your decisions your dreams will start getting shattered city by city.
