I check my status each day, and it still says "out for decision." I assume I'm on some sort of informal waitlist, but this is getting ridiculous. 18 hours ago, yasir8959 said: American? Me too.

Anyone else who ends up committing there and is looking to chat (or for a roommate) feel free to send me a PM. And thanks to everyone in this thread for the entertainment - I hope to work with you in the future! I too have decided to commit to UNC. One of the hardest decisions I ever made. needavacation and yasir8959 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a wonderful place, a great campus, and we have quite a few foreign students there. When I met them on my visitation, they were kind and interesting as was everyone. I do hope you consider studying at UNC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwils76 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Just committed to UNC and declined the last offer I was holding on to - CU Boulder.

ILikeHotDogs Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm on the waitlist at CUNY. Anyone have any insight into the length of the list or is anyone planning to decline an offer? My hopes are not high, but here's to hoping they receive a nice wave of declines this week yasir8959 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
