Calling all UNC Kenan-Flagler Fall 2009 Applicants!

Only ED round results have come out so far. R1 results will be out by 9-Feb. So far, I dont know of anyone who received any scholarship:(:(

I don't know if this helps or not, but when I interviewed at UNC the interviewer told me at the end of the interview, and I quote: "have you ever seen a leader with a 4.0 GPA and a 800 on the GMAT?" (after looking at my 2.8 in engineering and 650 GMAT, together with my 11 years of leadership experience after college). I may not get in, but who knows. To those applying, please stress that leadership potential.....

Does anyone who got admitted know if Kenan-Flagler will be running a background check, through Kroll, or otherwise?

Anyone get an email from Sharon today? I got one saying my application is complete and I will be notified of a decision on Deadline 3, March 23rd.

Only problem is, I submitted my stuff for Deadline 2, due in December. I asked her and she said it was listed as my preference...I took a screenshot of my application and told her I indicated the December 5th due date for Deadline 2, February 9th notification. She moved my application to that pile. Talk about a heart attack!

Omne,

I got neither email. I guess my refernces still haven't gotten found yet! I am sure Sharon will get it straight - she is a very nice lady. I hope we both get in, how high is Kenan-Flagler on your list?

Well, I'd say all schools are equal. It may come down to a money issue if I have multiple admits. Right now I'd be happy with any place! I think UNC is more likely than Duke, less likely than UCLA. If I was admitted everywhere, my rankings would probably go UCLA -> UNC -> Georgetown -> Duke -> Wake Forest

I haven't heard anything from UNC in weeks, aside from those annoying "chats" emails. For me, as a NC resident, it's gonna be a tough call between UNC, Duke and Darden... I think it'll come down to money. Though Duke certainly has more academic resources that I'd like to take advantage of.

Sorry for being so slow guys. It has been crazy around here. I am a NC resident as well. I only applied to UNC this year, if I don't get in I will just take my GMAT again and see what happens next year. I love their Real Estate program - but if I don't get in, and get a better GMAT, I may do a little shopping next year. If we all go, it would be good to get to know you guys.

Quick bump to the thread.

Anyone out there waiting to hear back from UNC Kenan-Flagler on February 9?

Did anyone receive anything different?

anyone know anything about the part time stats? didn't see them on the website

John,

I am waiting for next Monday as well. This is the only school that I applied to this year so I'm a tad anxious. I wish you luck buddy.

I never received the email above.

Wierd.....

I wouldn't really worry about it..it does not have any vital information!

Anyone who was admitted know when the admit weekend is?

Admit weekend is 17-18 Apr. So far the agenda for this year has not been posted but it's supposed to be finalized soon.

Has anyone from either this years or last years class of admits gone through the UNC background check? When is it done? I want to wait before I have gone through this before I quit my job, so I don't go through this while my bosses/recommenders are super angry/bitter.
