Calling all UNC Kenan-Flagler 2010 applicants

Awesome!! thank you. I must have overlooked the issue. I will come back to it, thank you.

Wow! Are you sure they plan to interview only half the applicants? In the past they used to inverview 90%. On the other hand, they have about 8 staff members interviewing people, so from that standpoint it does make sense to interview only half of the people.
What bothers me is my application status: inder a review. I interviewed last week on campus and I gave them a transcript that never made it to my file, so she did tell me that is everything. Ten days latter, and my application is still not "done". I don't understand. I don't want to be a pest, so I will wait to bug them about this after holidays.

I'm a reapplicant to KFBS and a little confused about how to approach my essays. Since the application requires that reapplicants denied admission last year re-submit all essays I'm wondering if I should write totally new essays or work on what I submitted last year. Any ideas on how other reapplicants approached their application will be much appreciated.

I got an interview invite for the Dec 4 deadline if someone wants to update the roll call page. It's not scheduled until Jan 19, so I guess I have some time to prep. I haven't visited campus before so I'm going to do the class visit, student lunch and tour as well while I'm down there.

I'm not a reapp but don't submit the same essays.Either rewrite them or come up with a new story.

I totally agree. Keep in mind that you are re-presenting yourself to the admissions committee. You've grown personally and professionally since when you first applied. Your growth should be reflected not only in your resume and interview but also in your essays by your clarity, tone and ancedotes.

Did anyone receive the admit package? I still did not get it even though I stay next to NC.

I did receive an email asking for feedback on the package.

Yes,
I received my admit package roughly 2 weeks ago.

Yep. I got the package 3 days after the decision as well as an email asking about the package.

I did get that finally.

"Under review" status was due to unofficial GMAT scores, because the official score was sent after Dec 4th deadline. An email to the admission office and they said that they will use my unofficial score, which in turn changed the status of my application to "things missing" but it doesn't say what is missing. Grrrr.

I called the adcom office today to ask what is going on. I talked to the records office and he said that they do not have official transcript from a foreign university that I attened long time ago and never graduated. He said that my application is fine, it is ready to be reviewed by adcom. If I am admitted, then I will need to produce an official transcript (or not).

He also said that adcom is not really reviewing R1 application yet! They may start doing that next week or so That's surprising. That doesn't leave them a lot of time to read all essays, connect the dots, make admission decisions and notify applicants by Feb 8th. Although, adcom admitted 5% drop in applications this season during one of their chats in December.

The wait begins....

In response to an earlier question posted in this thread about interview invites:

I spoke to the admissions office today, and they said that invites will be released all the way up until the decisions deadline, Feb. 8. While this makes absolutely no sense, as it will give them no time to evaluate the interview, it gives the rest of us who haven't received invites some hope.

Joining a bit late, but I'm also an R2 applicant.

Submitted my application on 12/4, was invited to interview 12/8. Will be completing my interview January 12.

Just got an interview invite today, will be completing it on the 15th.

I thought that email would never come.....

I applied for Round 2 (Dec 4) and just got my invite yesterday. FYI. I can't wait for this process to be over!

I'm submitting UNC tonight or tom. for round 3. Can I ask you all how much detail you went into on the Employment History and Other form? Clearly I will go into detail on my work experience, but how much do I need to write about working as a camp counselor 12 years ago?

Thanks,

D

hmmmm, I can not upload either my employment history or additional information package!!

The school's web system keep me from submitting!!
