speechie92 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I emailed her in jan. But well its too late. If its not meant to be it isnt.
speechie92 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 So i just received a response from Ina and she said i should not worry about that. At least im still in the waiting game! thank god!
mimblewimble Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Wooo!!!! That must be such a relief, speechie92!
ChatterBrain Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Haha....ditto what Mimblewimble said. I was just going to post the same. Phewf! as my son would say. Did she happen to give any hints as to further notifications?
speechie92 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Hi chatterbrain and mimblewimble, yes it is. I was telling my friend how i would rather get a rejection letter than not being considered at all. She didnt say anything but i asked, we will see what she response next.
speechie92 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) She said everything will be sent in waves. Maybe they are just notifying the cream of the crop first. stay calm guys! im still very happy that im still in the waiting game! Edited February 25, 2015 by speechie92
ChatterBrain Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 This is good news! Still not totally clear news, but good news nonetheless! Double Phewf!
speechie92 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Yup we are all in this together!no news means good news!
onedayslp Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 If anyone who has been accepted reads this, can you please share whether or not your portal was updated? Thank you!
speechie92 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 im just wondering, do they notify instate or out of state first or its purely random? I heard that UNC mainly accept their own students/in state students but i dont know if its true! I hope not because im out of state! haha
ChatterBrain Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) I have no idea where the students they accept into their program are from, but I have a hard time believing they are unfairly prejudiced to UNC-CH students. Firstly, they don't have an undergraduate major program, only a minor. That doesn't mean they don't accept some students from it, but they advertise pretty strongly that they are looking for a diverse group of students. In fact, in the lecture capture of the 'Accepted Students Meeting' from last year I am sure I remember one of the professors talking about how she felt so sorry for professors from other universities when they would mention that nearly all of their graduate students came from their own graduate program. If I remember correctly, she thought that sounded dreadfully boring. Speechie92 said Ina Diana mentioned they notify in 'waves.' I wish I knew what that meant! lol I'm guessing they start with their first picks for acceptances. I wonder how many rejections and wait-list notifications actually go out each day and how those are decided. *Sigh* I guess we'll just have to wait and see. At least every day that passes means we're one day closer to finding out! Good luck to everyone! Edited February 26, 2015 by ChatterBrain
onedayslp Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Looks like UNC is closed today due to snow. That probably means no news today.
ChatterBrain Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 This is certainly an exercise in patience, lol. Hopefully it will all be worth the wait :-).
kiran.khialani Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I'm sorry whoever isn't happy about this. Received an acceptance yesterday, along with an email saying this -Hello and congratulations! Hopefully, by now, each of has received notification that you have been recommended for admission into the master’s degree program (SLP) in Speech and Hearing Sciences at the University of North Carolina -Chapel Hill. If you have not received notification, you can expect to hear the good news shortly!

Isn't the "notification" they are referencing the email itself? Very confusing.
ChatterBrain Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 kiran...(on my mobile and can't see the rest of your username as i reply), I would never be unhappy for someone else's acceptance. Congratulations! Thank you for taking the time to share that information. The inevitable is intevitable, whether it be good news or bad news. May I ask what time if day you received the email and whether your portal updated? I suppose I'll hold out hope 'til the bitter end, lol.
tobslp Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 This is a bit off topic, but why did you all decide to apply to UNC-Chapel Hill? I've seen a lot of people say it's their top choice! I applied too (still haven't heard anything though haha) but I don't know a ton about the program, so I'd love to hear your reasons! And I hope everyone hears back soon!!
speechie92 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 tobslp, I was a early intervention teacher and was trained in teacch! since teacch originated from unc i thought it will be a great opportunity for me to learn and utilise current and future knowledge into practice. Furthermore, im bilingual and come from a diverse background so seeing what unc had to offer i thought it was a good choice! Kiran, congrats on your acceptance! I hope we still can hear good news soon. Honestly, seeing so much acceptance is stressing me a little but again, no news means good news!
kiran.khialani Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 ChattBrain , I didn't mean feel bad About my acceptance! I meant That their email states That acceptances should be out now, for the admitted applicants. They've sent out invites to the open house and stuff.
ChatterBrain Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Hi Kiran, I didn't really think you thought someone might feel bad about your acceptance, just about our angst compared to others' acceptances in general. Awe, the pesky pragmatics of virtual communication, lol. It can be hard to portray tone in chat forums and I always try to make sure I am conveying the general conversational courtesies I am intending to portay. :-) Thank you for the further details about what you have received from the admissions committee. When I read your initial post, I didn't take away an explicit statement that no further acceptances would be sent out, but wishful thinking can play tricks on one's mind, can't it? ;-) I just thought it was informing the people who had been accepted in that wave would soon receive further, more official acceptances. Ce que sera sera One can always hope for a miracle, right? :-) I have applied to many programs, but Chapel Hill is my dream. If it isn't meant to be, it isn't meant to be. For now, I'll still wish everyone still hoping 'Good Luck!' Let's hope the campus opens long enough tomorrow to hear something. Ciao ciao ;-)
kiran.khialani Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Yes, it's quite difficult to portray the true meaning purely through text communication. I do hope you get it, if it's your dream. I'm sure there are people who will end up in rejecting at a later stage and you've not received a rejection which is a very good sign. Good luck ChatterBrain 1

Good luck Kiran, are you planning to accept the offer or are you still considering other schools?
SLA Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I recently go rejected from UNC Chapel Hill. So I believe they are sending out rejections first lol.
onedayslp Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I recently go rejected from UNC Chapel Hill. So I believe they are sending out rejections first lol. SLA, when did you get the notification? I still haven't heard anything..
speechie92 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Me too. the anxiety is killing me. Considering the class size is going to be small and seeing so many acceptance i dont know if no news is good news applies anymore lol
