Anyone at all?? It's been rather quiet here.

Also, has anyone been notified of financial aid? The website said end of April is when notifications will start. Was curious to know whether anyone had found out. I tried calling and emailing the financial aid office but I've got no response at all. Seems like UNC is in hibernation!

Similarly, I've been waiting to hear from Financial Aid. When I got my acceptance notice, I also received an automatic notice of FAQs from the Fin Aid office. When I called the contact, however, she was out of office for a week. Glad to know I'm not the only one receiving silence, but still, I'd like to know the deets!

I attended Experience Weekend. It was an absolute blast. There were many people there deciding between UNC and other 'higher ranked' schools (Yale, Dartmouth, Harvard(yes i am serious)), and Experience Weekend confirmed their decision to go to UNC. Obviously personal situations and maybe some money played into their decisions, but I think it still speaks well of the program and the people. which really sold me on the school. I spent a ton of time with the first-years; they made such a huge effort to welcome us and help us out. I didnt know a soul when I showed up and was very comfortable the entire weekend. It will definitely be a great two years.

I also am waiting to hear from Financial Aid. I sent an email last week and called this week and still havent heard anything.

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!

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 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?

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!

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.

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