Calling All 2011 UNC Kenan-Flagler Applicants!

just informed UNC that I will not be attending. best of luck to all WLers...

Still think KFBS is a top-notch program with awesome faculty, curriculum, and resources. But I felt a better fit elsewhere and am declining my offer in advance of tomorrow's deposit deadline. Good luck WLers!

did you choose jhu over unc?

Anyone out there not able to take the ASW courses? If not, what will you be doing to prepare? I may not be able to attend and am trying to set up my own curriculum so I don't come into the program blind.

I'd like to echo this sentiment. Experience Weekend was a fabulous time - it really solidified UNC as the right fit for me, and I think it did for many other people as well. I was accepted to several higher-ranked schools, but after visiting Chapel Hill my choice was clear. Can't wait to be a Tar Heel! I hope to see some of you for ASW II!

Applied Round 4. Accepted today.

Applied R3, got waitlisted to R4. I checked my R4 results and they said I was waitlisted to the the next round? I'm a little vexed as I thought this was the last round. Should I assume they are waiting to see how many applicants accept their R4 offers before making the final call on me? Or am I deferred into the early-round in 2012, which I see as being highly unlikely?

Does anyone have insight into the process?

Yeah...same here. Applied R4 - waitlisted. Anyone have any idea what that means?

I was waitlisted in Round 4 last year. I believe they only go to the waitlist if the yield out of Round 4 is lower than expected. I didn't hear of anybody making it off the Round 4 waitlist last year. Basically you either voluntarily drop off the waitlist or you hold on and hope for a low Round 4 yield. I waited until late June until I dropped off the waitlist and ended up applying EA this year. Also, Round 4 waitlists are not deferred to EA next year. If you don't get off the waitlist before classes start, your application dies, and you have to start fresh next season.

Also, I don't know how the Ad Com makes their selections from the waitlist, but I do know that the applicants that have made it very clear in their application that they will definitely attend Kenan-Flagler if accepted, are going to get the first nod.

Best of luck over the next few weeks. If you don't get pulled off the waitlist, I know for a fact that Kenan-Flagler looks very highly upon re-applicants. And don't be discouraged by a Round 4 waitlist, I have been told that 90-95% of the class is filled prior to Round 4.

Has anyone heard anything about Financial Aid yet? I submitted my FAFSA well before the recommended deadline and still haven't heard anything. My "MyUNC" account says "Aid Application in Process", and the school has not requested any additional information to process my application.

At Experience Weekend, Susan Brooks said that notifications for those who had already completed their FAFSA would be sent out the week of 4/11.

Just curious if anyone else has received their notification or heard anything from the financial aid office. I am starting to get a little anxious, as I am moving to Chapel Hill in 4 weeks, and don't want this in limbo when I move. If anybody has heard anything I would greatly appreciate any information you have. Thanks!

Do you have a finance background?

No, I don't. I'm currently signed up for MBAMath, and will begin that shortly. I've also purchased all the recommended text books in the welcome packet and have started working through the recommended chapters.

Hey, I was just admitted on Monday for the final round. I know UNC says they do not offer fellowship funds in the final round, but is this just to cover themselves in case all funds are already given out? Are there cases where someone does in fact get offered $$ in the final round? Thanks.

Ding! (Had already accepted another offer anyway...)

LOL...and I just got an email from UNC Kenan-Flagler inviting me to apply for their online MBA program. "Join A Select Few. Apply to MBA@UNC - UNC Kenan-Flagler's Innovative MBA Online. Applications Due May 9." Haha!

admitted.

Honestly was not expecting this but certainly excited.

Congrats to all!

Anyone know if UNC does background checks or follow up with recommenders? I have received no notices regarding either.

Just officially declined my acceptance. Good luck to any waitlisters here!
