***The UNC Chapel Hill 2014 Thread*** [#permalink]
 04 Feb 2013, 09:33
This thread is for anyone who is either attending or seriously considering attending UNC next year. I know there is a separate thread for all applicants, but it's much more cumbersome to exchange information about the school, etc. when you have a bunch of other posts asking for chances, people posting stats, etc. This will make it easier to discuss about the program, housing, what to do in Chapel Hill, or even off-topic discussions that are relevant (i.e. how poorly our Tar Heels are playing this year). So if anyone is attending or strongly considering attending, feel free to join in here.
For the record, I will be attending in May.

I'm also attending UNC's MAC Program starting this May. If anyone is looking for a roommate, please send me a message. I prefer to live off campus because, based on what I've seen, it's significantly cheaper and nicer to live off campus.
Thanks!

Hey, y'all! Congrats! I'll also be attending, and I'm looking at Rock Creek Apartments. Are there other apartment complexes that stand out? If you're interested in prospective roommates, please send a message!

Is there a benefit to applying during Early Admission?

To the dude asking about interviews: I wouldn't stress about it too much. It's pretty much like a fit interview you'd get at most jobs and I think UNC mostly does it to make sure that you're not a psychopath rather than it being a huge factor in your admissions decision. If you can talk about your resume, why UNC, why accounting, and have 1 or 2 intelligent questions, you'll be straight.

Hi all,
I'm also planning to attending UNC's MAC program - starting in May. Anyone have apartment suggestions? I'd also be open to a roommate if anyone is interested.
Mary

I guess I make 5 on here.
Living on campus. Convenience winning out in my book over comfort.
Anyone UG at UNC? We'll need to all meet up and have a drink at some bar and I don't know any yet.

Anyone UG at UNC? We'll need to all meet up and have a drink at some bar and I don't know any yet. Question: Does anyone know how far away Odum is from Franklin street? I'm almost 90% sure that I'll be living on campus, so while going to UNC basketball games (I mean getting to class...) will be easy, I'm wondering how far away everything else is because I won't be having a car. I saw a similar q to this posted in the facebook group, but I was wondering if there were any other perspectives on this. Looking forward to meeting you all in a few months!

Looks like just over half a mile to the smith center (yea, that's going to be dangerous).

Maybe someone has an idea on how this will work out. I emailed unc over a month ago to clarify my current number of accounting credits. I took the (2)intro accounting courses under quarters and now we have switched to semesters. 5 quarter hours = 3.3 semester hours. For a total of 6 or 6.6 credits? They have syllabi for each class and transcripts. I would like to use this time to knock out a few credits and keep my options open at the same time. I did send a follow up email about 2 weeks ago, with no success. I guess it is time to call.

It might be too late to answer your question, but I believe 1Q hour = 0.7 semester hours. Therefore, if you take around 16 or 17 quarter hours of accounting classes, you should still be straight. For example, I remember that I took 16 accounting credits on my quarter system (the intro fin/managerial classes and then an intermediate financial and cost accounting class) and I was still eligible, but just barely. That's how UNC converts it and I went with that because my school didn't have any special conversions for situations like that. If your school does, however, I believe UNC goes with your school's calcs vs theirs but I could be wrong.

It is not a pressing issue because my housing fell through for the summer.
